Hey everyone! Welcome back to the Untranslatable

Indian experimental music up today (showing DJ Aneek how it's done)

Hello Jagannath

And hello DJ Aneek

hello rob!

hey Rob! how's it going

It's going well, how are you all?

jag is bad = aneek is good

sure I guess

I would say I'm good as well. Hyped for the drive

Just don't drive too fast

when i was in high school i crashed my car into a sign and then a nun asked me if i was okay

I nearly killed two motorcyclists once

Yikes Aneek

and YIKES Jagannath

hitting a sign > killing motorcyclists

I, um, rear-ended a car once. No injuries, fortunately

it was their fault

*since the car I hit was stopped at a light and I was already braking

wait they tried to take a left turn from between me and the sidewalk

there was maybe a half meter of space

Oh dear!

Some of the sounds on/in "Resolution" sound like the calls of the Indri, a Malagasy lemur https://www.youtube.com/shorts/aXCKsGmKkv0

they actually sample lemurs! good ear

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iCvxvQD2t3g

I'm a biologist & a nerd

Hello

rob what birds are jag and i

"Indri lemur songs recorded by the Ethology lab of the University of Torino University in Maromizaha forest, Madagascar"

hi monty

My wife wants both of you to be Red-billed Blue Magpies https://ebird.org/species/rbbmag

Hello monty

what is the evilest bird, that would be jag

i would love to be a red-billed blue magpie thank you Mrs. from Maryland

the ones who steal other people's eggs

we've been over this Rob haven't we

I like black kites, I see a lot back home

they fly really close to my window

Black Kites are cool. I saw them on one or two times when I lived in Europe in high school

"nah i don't play djent"

Shoebills are kind of metal and therefore evil https://ebird.org/species/shoebi1

i am basic and love mourning doves

i don't usually. i'm playing this for the sitar

this is just if meshuggah had sitar

so meshuggah if good

I like Carolina Wrens, the way they can sing very loudly and yet be impossible to see

holy moly

vote in chat: who is dressed better, Jag or Aneek

surely aneek

absurd take

jag is wearing a clown nose, a clown hat, and big red shoes because he is a CLOWN

i'm locked in actually. linenmaxxing

i am currently wearing louboutin heels, versace pants, chanel shirt, gucci jacket, mugler necklace

unrelated but this is epic as hell

the last track was so good so is this one

see i'm all about that quiet luxury

thanks i picked it out myself <3

unlike you new 'money' people

very true these are both really cool. indian metal scene is great

Just donated 9 billion dollars btw

And saved a family of orphans from.a tree and gave them each 1 million dollars too

you guys are welcome

it is

its true

:) Okay yay

wait i think that was my family of orphans too, you are so kind

:) Awesome

I just made a one-time donation on top of my monthly. You guys are great!

THANK YOU!!

Ty Rob! Day one fr

bird song

what bird is that rob

I don't recognize it, so it's probably South Asian

mm idk about that

I should have said that because the artist is South Asian and Zangsti is in India, that I didn't recognize the bird's song probably means that it is not a North American bird

haha i'm kidding. can you actually recognize bird calls

Absolutely I can recognize bird calls and songs

that is lowkey very cool

If I hear a bird that I know is uncommon, or early, or late, I can key in on it and try to see it

there is a mouse in my room right now and these bird sounds are scaring me because it kind of sounds like mouse

i wish the mouse was a bird

the birds will eat the mice

sleep well

i am so scared but that is true and this epic set is helping me through my fear... barely

aneek reviews!

mice are cool

MIKE!!!!

mike and mice are cool

JAGA!

Oh no, morty! I hope the mouse leaves

ANEEK! sup yall

hi michael!

ay rob!

how's it going michael

WPRB = We Prevent Rob's Birding

Alright, good night everyone!

More bird noises Rob

I know, just in time for me to ... zzz zzz

Can you recognize these?

Ty for the show tonight, Jag & Aneek!

Ty Rob for tuning in!

Loved the show tonight everyone. thank you!

Fascinating show. The beeping is perfect 🛺

Thanks Kelly and Dave!

i loved the traffic sounds, oddly peaceful and soothing

BAM!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haha ty! I gotta say not peaceful actually being on those kinds of streets its absolute chaos

peaceful from the safety and comfort of my couch! BAM!

This is a great piece too

yeah very cool ambient, glad you're enjoying
