Hi Rise? You there? Hi Rise?

ooooh the edible is starting to kick in just in time

good evening everyone!! hii andrew and tandy :) hope all is well~

I was just alphabetizing my vinyl today and I see I have some albums by Van Der Graaf Generator and Camel that I've never listened to. 🤔

ohh thank you for reminding me that i better play the van der graaf at least sometime soon!! some reallly good stuff, which ones do you have?

what up

good evening @andrew!! how are youu

all is well here!

super sick intro

three of us laready nice nice

Repeat Performance, Godbluff and The Least We Can Do Is Wave To Each Other

domination

Oh wow, VDG is where Peter Hammill came from. I always figured he was in one of the versions of Gong.

wazaaaaa. Just put two black pens thru the dryer.

glad we enjoyed the longer high rise track :) ima try to find a couple that i havent played here yet.. and @andrew omgg good ones!! i only have pawn hearts but i should check those earlier ones out :)

hii @mats!! omg the princess xenomorph pfp

Lol dj

@mats hope you wear all black

Hello all, I'm ready to call it on the ruminations of september, to be honest... Loved that high rise track, im almost done with Within a Budding Grove... The ending has really blown me away. I got to jog the memory of my neighbor who has read it, we were talking about elstir's monologue about regrets..I have the next volume on the way but not sure if I will take a break and read something else between.

Hi Rosasolis, I have this CD! Are you going to play the whole piece? I love Rovo!

andrewgtb My soul is black, like a raven in storm. Wondering where those goddamn pens went.

please tell me its the full piece

@Mats were they Bics, Flairs or Sharpies?

Robo, barefooted Black Flag drummer. Rovo, prog band. Robo Plays Rovo.

hii @jo!! oh thats lovely that youve been able to discuss it! i always go back to elstir's marine paintings.. and how the narrator learns to change his perceptions and gain fleeting artistic insight.. it really is so wonderfully written; i do think you should read something else before delving into guermantes way or preferably alongside it!

Hopefully not Crosses or Montblancs.

andrewnyc the Precise V5. My fave pen for analog art. Huwhat a mess LOL.

hii @ira!! omg i love them too!! i cant believe it took me so long to discover them.. but its only a strong excerpt of it (@tandy too)

Acceptable!!

Good thing I enjoy chaos. Looks like a toddler went nuts with a pen in the dryer.

holding my wprb zippo lighter in the air to this rn

TAndy yessssssssssssss

this is glorious

80 mg of liquid THC equals lost pens in the dryer, I have learned.

TAndy crossing the Delaware with Zippo up and wprb blasting.

we're doing some slowburners todayy.. and @andrew right?? like some post-psych trance boredoms

yo there's some crazy dude running up and down the trenton makes bridge

there are some things you can't THC-proof

I was reading Shockwave Rider alongside Within a Budding Grove but seemed to have misplaced it... Also have been listening to the Southern Reach audiobooks. The description of elstir's paintings was amazing and resonated a lot with me as a landscape painter. It's interesting how proust is able to do the same thing he describes - capturing a very rich and unique perspective that is really specific and ambiguous at the same time

Got the Wind Crazies from that nor'easter :)

TAndy haaaaaaaaaaaaa! Trenton bridge!

exactly @rosa! those drums!

Many NJians got the Wind Crazies, it seems.

dayum, Rovo going OFF!

@jo exactly!! and the way that his partial observations of the paintings that hint at his artistic awakening are then violently mirrored and reproduced in his anxious coming of age encounter with the girls! and that this always occurs at arms reach of the ocean...

i love how gradually this has been speeding up

and those shimmering electronicss i love it!!

Phaser pedal abuse! Love it.

@tandy who's running on the bridge?? :0 and @mats i appreciated that bit with the drums the mostt

Gong! Zero the Hero is a Black Sab song as well. Good one too.

for a sec i read that as black sab had covered this song and i was v intrigued loll

Rosasolis! E aí!

dj LOL! Dark prog!

hi rosalina 💖💛💙https://www.deviantart.com/maxgoudiss/art/Peach%2C-Daisy-and-Rosalina-crying-1317245787

Marcus I watched some brazillian Elite Squad! Good rec. I like the Philosophy class crew.

ola @marcus!! boa noite :) como vai?? and hii @ossy!! oh no whats wrong!!

Tropa de Elite! Glad you enjoyed Mats

Tudo tranquilo, rosasolis

já melhorar-se?

i am you are we are

crazy

and evening everyone

@marcus Wagner Moura! That dude rules. He is in new Panos Cosmatos film.

Wagner Moura is a monster in the Brazilian film industry

@Rob, how was Cab Volt?

Yes, violently mirrored is a good way to put it... I was cracking up at his description of the girls as "zoophytic" & describing them as polyps in a larger organism was cracking me up... And how they make him so neglectful of St Loup even though he felt like they were predestined to be besties. There's a lot packed into this last part of the book!

@marcus um pouquinho! minha garganta ainda dói (╥﹏╥) and hiii @rob!! omg yes i thought you would like that foray :)

@marcus Wagner is great in both Elysium and Civil War.

@Marcus, Cab Volt was good. I was never into them, we went with a friend who was and is. I was intrigued by the opener, I Speak Machine, noisy in a different way

Zé Ramalho! He wrote the song "Frevo Mulher" which is played nonstop for a week during Carnival in Recife

RobMD nice! Cab Volt!

ty rosasolis, we always love hearing Gong, especially when you play it on your show :-)

@jo omg yes it definitely starts to mimic elstir's impressionism towards the end, all these fleeting observations and impulses, its like the narrator doesn't know how to accurately perceive the world; the polyps aspect becomes important later when another animal/insect is explored at length at one of the following volumes!!

@Mats, it was a bit of a sensorium

@marcus i lovee this record, it sounds so unlike other releases from brasil ive had the pleasure to enjoy :) i always liked him! have you been to that carnival? and @rob ahh im so glad :) i have still yet more to play and replay!

was the Cab Volt show dance or trance?

RobMD droppin SENSORIUM on us. Yessssssss. Great word Rob!

hehe i love to hear that it comes up again, i have so much proust left to enjoy :o)

rosasolis, Carnival in João Pessoa went past my house every year for 10 years.

5 days of trio electricas

I meant to say I was never that into Cab Volt but I liked some of their songs, especially Sensoria

@marcus I rewatched Mutant Blast (2018, Portugal) again and Tropa de Elite. Gettin a good dose of the portugal!

@mats carandiru is another good Wagner Moura film

marcus on it!

@Marcus, it was more trance than dance. We were sitting near the bar, so that was nice for us old farts

@rosasolis, more Gong? :-D

@jo me too!! i decided to reread some of the volumes because i wanted to be better acquaint myself with it again :) v upsetting how much is forgotten even in 2-3 years..,if you ever want secondary reading or lit analysis on it let me kno!

One can never go wrong with more Gong and more bong.

@marcus that sounds like so much fun!! i dont kno when but i would love to stay for another extended period in brasil..

@rob or def some daevid allen soon at some point! hehe

Rosasolis, I saw the Imenja Procession, the Nossa Senora das Neves saints procession, when they won the Brazilian 5th division title...always a party in Brazil

@rosasolis, Daevid Allen is always good too. Big city energy and stuff

rosa - you know how things inevitably change in life / nothing stays the same forever? A dear supervisor sunny friend retired earlier than expected (today). It was really impromptu :(

This show is always magic

well said Marcus

@ossy im sorry to hear that! i think the suddenness is whats the most debilitating.. but hopefully you'll be able to stay in contact!! and @marcus @mats (◡ ‿ ◡ ✿) tysm! i was looking forward to these tracks alot

@rob yes exactly! plus i love the idea of travleing around in a teapot.. and @marcus omg they went that crazy for the 5th division?!

@Ossy, oh no, that doesn't sound good. Hopefully something good will happen now

Great time to share Avatar in relation to that https://www.facebook.com/groups/429318841148485/posts/2224780044935680/

@rosasolis, the teapot travel was one of many intriguing things about Gong when I was getting in to them all those years ago

Actually it's the 3rd division, so maybe they should be happy when they win

rosa - got group messages from comrads of her retiring party, next Sunday and though she'll be there up til then,. Was already sad, but today speed up the sorrow. Oh yes, we do stay in touch, after she said "see you later" hugs to everyone

this rocchi is incredible. straight up incredible show tonight!

Rob - Yeah, at least she'll be happier of a new beginning and will still be in contact. The few angels to really understand people no matter what mood :)

loving these long tracks

@tandy @andrew im so glad! i guess i realized it had been a while since ive let the tracks drift off like that :)

@rob yes i remember when i first listened to them i wanted to learn all about their lore!! and @marcus what team was near where you were in brazil?? and @ossy i hope it goes well ~ ^^

Botafogo de Paraíba. Actually they went wild for the Campeonato Paraibano (10 teams) I'm sure it's the same in Argentina where every state has a championship along with the national one

@marcus yes its v similar! if you arent in the top division then as you go down the pyramid it gets increasingly local/based on province :) i figure if i go back to argentina itll have to be a whole trip thru south america

rosa - yeah, enjoy the fullest while still young !!

@rosasolis, I too wanted to and did learn about their lore!

Ossy, good to hear that she'll be happier

@rob anything i should know in particular?? and definitely @ossy :))

I love songs that are like musical journeys. Like long hikes through the musical consciousness.

good evening @mr. mont!! i agree wholeheartedly :) thats what i only hope to tap into when playing some of these tracks..

According to Google Minamiaoyama has the best piano bars in Tokyo. Time to plan a trip

Shinjuku Thief ! Good band.

omg i love that this artist's last name pairs so well spelling-wise with that area.. yes pls do and let us know how it wentt

Mats, it's looks walking distance from Roppangi

@mats thats crazyyy i hadnt thought about that cd i have of theirs in years lol maybe its worth revisiting

sparkle sparkle, heart heart!

hii @lucy!! <3 how are youu girll; my ♡ is ✧˖° over here

the road in front of me is terrifying but tears of joy cloud my sight! these beautiful sounds refract and refract more

I'm quite well, I've seemingly just brokered a lovely deal for the station, wonderful for everyone who loves music for the other side of your eardrum

@rosasolis (9:20) I can't think of anything off the top of my head

🧡💙💚❤https://www.reddit.com/r/TheLastAirbender/comments/ewrmo6/do_you_really_think_friendships_can_transcend/

@lucy omg a deal?! congrats ah this is so exciting i wonder what its about :)) tears of joy indeed!!

Let's Active - "Room with a view"

stay safe please amid the excitement!! <3 and @rob you might have to share with all of us! and @ossy what do you think??

@marcus ill have to listen to it i dont think i ever got to!

laika~!✨🌙

theyre sooo good especially sounds of the satellites :)

It's REM's producer's record so Jangle Pop

rosa - they sure for real do, especially in the avatar reincarnations!

i lovee some jangle pop, something perhaps to explore for the fall silent drive specialty shows.. and @ossy is it true theyre making another one??

oh yes, https://www.google.com/search?gs_ssp=eJzj4tVP1zc0rCg3t7QwSDExYPTiKU4tS81TyEgEksUAeoQI6w&q=seven+havens&oq=seven+have&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgBEC4YgAQyCggAEAAY4wIYgAQyBwgBEC4YgAQyBggCEEUYOTIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIOCAcQABgKGAsYsQMYgAQyBwgIEAAYgAQyBwgJEAAYgAQyBwgKEAAYgAQyBwgLEAAYgAQyBwgMEAAYgAQyBwgNEAAYgAQyBwgOEAAYgATSAQgzMDE1ajBqNKgCAbACAQ&client=ms-android-tmus-us-revc&sourceid=chrome-mobile&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8

and said it'll take place centuries later, as well humanity and spirits see the new avatar as "terroristic destroyer" due to a mistakened worldwide apocalypse that involved previous avatar korra

I haven't btw seen the paramount movie yet of the original team avatar, "the legend of aang" , where they're adults

omg theres so much thats happening lol i didnt kno all that happened!

this program always makes me feel as if I'm anywhere but myself. thank you for that

im happy to be of service ❤︎ that desire drove a lot of my shows over the years so i 100 get what you mean

Ophiuchus !

same dude behind gnaw their tongues!!

oh chit!

I saw "Supersize me" first-run in the theatre

Morgan Spurlock

omg he died???

What! He did die!

Also the guy from Naked Eyes dies

Cenobites are the evil monsters in Hellraiser

@marcus i know! i think i was traumatized by that one.. i remember being really young with my much older brother playing that in the room :(

Awesome noise!

Rosa, that movie is not for kids

sorry you had to see it

i learned that the hard way.. they also contributed to my general fear of extraterrestrials (my brother also played lots of those 90 films lol).. and im glad you like it ossy!

I'm adding this to my list of variation of "John" - in Brazil they make a scooter called "Jhonny"

loll how come??

John, Jon, Jonny, Jhonny...am I missing any?

much love on the spencer clark shout earlier!!!!!!!!!!!

@lucy yesss i really love playing his tracks this time of the year

It's a Portuguese language thing. Every letter in every word is pronounced so that's how someone heard it

This aura indeed something socksflop/girlflop cailyn would play!!

Titanic = chi-tan-icky

I will never not love drum and bass

Once again, rosasolis, your show has taken over my mind and I thank you!

Thank you for the wonderful show tonight!

im so glad you enjoyed it @marcus @ossy @tandy!! here's too much more drum and bass to cap off our evenings ♡

thank you dj! Cenobites on da loose!

thanks for the lovely 3 hrs!

thanks for listening all ❤︎ stay blessed!!
