Erm 🫤

3 hours of hotel california on loop

or time stretched hotel california

Okay DJ Pup haha

For SNOOP DOGG!! He luvs this show!!

a fine morning to you.

Hey, there's a Carolina Wren trapped inside my laptop! :-)

And good morning everyone

Mornin Dale and Rob MD. How was it down there last night, Rob? I heard our storms made a beeline for delmarva instead

good morning, Dale

good ear there, Rob from MD

TAndy, it was loud loud loud

We didn't get a whole lot of rain ... just 1/3 inch or so ... in 15 minutes or less

We got a decent amount of rain here, but not much thunder.

@Dave, well, I am a birder. Plus I had to turn the laptop sound off to make sure it was WPRB and not the local Carolina Wren singing just outside the window

@TAndy, the thunder show went on for 10 or 15 minutes before the rain arrived (which was just before midnight). And we hadn't really fallen asleep. So let's just say that we stayed up until 12:30 a.m.

Mornin DTO et al!

good morning, addie '5 snakes'

Mornin Addie

@rob - merlin app on the phone is a joy to use!

Morning addie

@Dale, it is :-D

Ahoy, TAndy and Rob!

I just got my monthly station pledge company match confirmation email. Thank god the process for that is simpler than ever before

that's excellent to hear, TAndy!

i wonder if i can get social security to do a pledge match.

Oh, I'm certain that the current administration wants nothing more than to support the arts

if you put his name over the station name...

you have to offer an olive branch.

that might work

@Dale, heehee

ooh!

good morning ǝʌɐꓷ and my PRB Pals!

hello, Stevie P

heard lasting weep a while back. didn't know they were a precursor to maneige.

Hey Stevie!

First Hour: TopNotch Selections! Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure 💟

@ Dale, yes, I aired them once. I think it was probably for the Quebecois special

@ MrM, thank ye kindly

nice segues in this set of tunes.

thanks, Dale. I put in at least a little effort in preparing the sets

Good morning Dave, all others listeners. ☕️🎼

good morning, dan C

Your selections have been ideal, I’m reconfiguring baffles in two bass ports, both tower speakers.

I'm glad to be of service

🔈🔇🔈🔇🗯️

The keyboard really sets this apart

I have to read that Burroughs novel. “Naked Lunch” is astonishing, fits the music as well.

I have never read that novel

Burroughs, sitting at desk, signature hat on his head, reading his work…on SNL, might be my favorite “bit” on that show. Audacious!

I like this track!

“Thank you, Dr. Benway…”

glad you enjoyed, Stevie P

Tune of the day right here

🔥🌿😶‍🌫️💨

I’m ready, bring it on!

Krokofant, Ståle Storløkken, Ingebrigt Håker Flaten is difficult to pronounce.

I'm sure I got it all wrong, but so be it

I could just play ABBA - easier to pronounce

True that!

Less lexical stress

👉💀👈

👈💀👉

The broken metronome show! :)

HehHehHeh

Or recalibrated

Second Hour: TopShelf Selections! Thanks, DJ DaveTheObscure 💟

It's weighty decision

thank ye kindly, MrM

ǝʌɐꓷ only has one shelf. :)

so valid

Being tall I was grandmas goto for top shelf gogetter. I know'em when I see 'em :)

HELLBORG is from… HELL?!

no, the next town over

Liked those little Eric Johnson "Cliffs of Dover" quotes thrown in there

Yes, you caught too B!

over the heads of most

and good morning, Brian D

Yep from Eric's free time intro to Cliffs just before it kicks in

He runs in that form really well.

Probably playing with a Dunlop EJF1 too. :)

Traffic conditions will vary significantly if anyone is driving thru Portland OR on I-5. I just got a notice for whatever reason, and thought I should pass it along. So, there it is.

That Piniol song is such an epic mind melter

Hey, George K.! It's a DLH classic!

Me thinkith someone spendith the big moula in a Swedish record store or two.

I can't help it. It's an addiction

Euros well spent. :) Thanks for stuff this morning!

glad you were able to catch the show, Roffle

Love to be challenged, DTO, this was an excellent hour!

thanks, addie!

Ah good ol warrido

he looms large

DJ DaveTheObscure 💟 Entire Show: TopTier! Big cheers! Many thanks & kind regards to you, Sir! 🖤💀

thanks, MrM!

Hello Dave, Ruins always succeeds at raising the difficulty level by a few points!

Another excellent show Dave! Thanks!

thanks, Bud

and thanks, Stevie P
