I missed the first 15 minutes because of a work gaffe can we have a do-over?

Can't do that, big entertainment will copyright strike it!

I've never seen that emoji until just now

That emoji is so funny

Also loved this mood

I don’t use that emoji enough 🦷🦴🏴‍☠️

https://emojiterra.com/x-ray/

Interesting how some environments show a skull and others the ribs. Then there's Tw*tter with the hand

I see ribs. I like that hand version.

I fear the google one eats

Love kokoroko❤️❤️❤️

it cooks & it eats

Kokoroko at this hour?? Nice!

glad you are enjoying

AND they serve

Kokoroko is good an every hour

there it is! Bon Appetite Babaaaayyyy 😋

Excellent start to the show! Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure!

🕺

What are they serving?

🙃

Horn section

Yeah, honestly their horn section has an iconic sound that I can't describe.

so edible

feast on it

So tasty!

*spray bottle+

This is such a nice song to follow

more to come

I've got another Astatke record sitting at home, Tension with the Hoodna Orchestra. It's a damn fine record!

MULATU ASTATKE 💙

Good morning all

good morning, Rob F

Mornin Rob F

I didn't even notice that transition. This is already gonna be another unforgettable edition of The New Abnormal.

🙏🏻

Ohhh it’s a party!!!

Enjoying this, been listening to Ebo Taylor, Fela, Tony Allen etc lately

Dave, I listened to the rest of that Yolk LP from last week's show. Absolutely mindblowing stuff, crazy that I was able to hear part of it on the radio!

can't go wrong with those, Rob

it's my privilege to introduce such music to the audience, TAndy

Dave, I had a couple songs to recommend midweek, but forgot what they were already.

You don’t have any contact info, probably for good reason

I read my chat postings during the show. that counts

All you gotta say is "avant prog" and it's like his bat signal

perfect enlightenment

that's right, MrM

I offer 🙇 In On It by Pat Metheny

i will investigate that. I do not have it in my collection

digging the vespero.

glad to hear it. they are surprisingly good and consistent

Steve!! This show has it all this morning.

there will even be Canterbury and RPI

YES

f’n beautiful guitarra

we're all about beauty here on The New Abnormal

and sweetness

and niceness

🐝 uety is in the eye of the 🐝-holder

Behold!

f’n sweet! 🎸🎼🎶🎵 d@mn nice! 💟🐼

This is incredible!

OUGH

Markus Reuter has been touring with Stick Men and recently had their gear stolen while in custody of the Chilean airlines. If you're interested in helping, more info here: https://www.sonicperspectives.com/news/stick-men-hit-by-organized-theft-in-chile-gear-gone-irreplaceable-hard-drives-missing/

liking the step back to the 70s set.

that's awful news, Ross M. Thanks for posting the plea for help

I was particularly moved, and purchased a few live boots they offer.

I listened to penaguin after you played him last and got stuck on this one 🪰

Penaguin just appeared with this instant classic in the Canterbury style. Better than just about all the original bands

They ran so he could sour ☁️

soar

Hahaha

Soar ☁️

WestSiiidddeee is taking week off, I guess. MerpDerp#

So much amazing music every show. That Steve Tribbets track got my brain started today.

unless you count Zappa's band. that's coming up at 9:00

Welcome, Jeff. Glad to know you appreciate the selections

wow

9:00 so a full track?! And no, doesn’t count. Ha-HA

well then, no West Side for you

😡🥵🤬

see what you can do to get them to make interesting music over there

that’s hilarious

Late again but ready for some difficult listening

👉💀👈

Good morning Dave and follow listeners

Yay FZ

AAGH OUCH!! 🔥🌿🌬️😶‍🌫️

👈💀👉

Might turn off radio this week 😭 📻🔨

welcome, WRED TV

In Topeka

Zappa during a non-special show, this really is one to remember.

yeah, I do avoid Zappa for the most part

Reading about the history of this release with the cover photography and omission of "Bolero" on later releases

I thought the deep voice was Difficult Listening man coming back lol

Don't have this one in my FZ collection so may grab a copy

Glad you're giving comedy music a chance, Dave!

@ goots, that "Difficult Listening man" is Laurie Anderson, in audio drag

Yo I wasn't the only one who thought that lol

omg no way!!!

Whut. LAURIE ANDERSON ❤️❤️❤️

Laurie Anderson uses that device alot

clever girl

hehehehe 🩰

Thumbs up for Jono El Grande

glad you like

Ten toes up 🦶🦶 for the Good Enough NonWestSiiidddeeeRacket 🙆‍♀️💆‍♀️💁‍♀️

Yes, Jono El Grande was great! We thought it was still Zappa

that not racket. It's Brahms! Brahms' 3rd racket

And good morning everyone

🎢 weeeee

good morning, Rob from MD. This band is from your area

Dodos of Maryland 🦤🦤

I see that, Dave. The name of the group combined with the name of this track is hilarious from a birder's standpoint

and pretty much every avant-prog band is indebted to Zappa to some extent

Birds and Buildings reminds us of Zappa a lot

O wow

Nice

I would agree with that statement Dave

DJ DaveTheObscure 💟 Nice show! Swell chat! Many thanks! Big cheers! Kind regards! 🖤💀

💜 thanks, MrM

If it could be bottled, the DLH would make a great energy drink.

Ha! thanks, Mike T

🥤😵‍💫

This is inSANE

an acquired taste! 🚵

need medical exam 🩻💙💀

Cheers Dears w/Big Earz!

And we have acquired it, thanks to our congenial host.

Thank you very much for the legendary show today, Dave!!

was a tad difficult toward the end of that set
