Remasterizado

si

Wow great stuff

I turn on my radio and seriously great jams are flowing

good morning, Space Cowboy, I'm glad you are able to catch the show and like what you hear

quite a bit of Yes influence with this group

This is fkn excellent!

I try to slip in some excellent tunes once in a while

the FCC lets WPRB get away with such things in the early morning hours

That was an epic set

Oh yes

Ha! Good one, Dale!

Sheesh this is hitting at just the right moment

gotta run out to the home despot for caulk and primer. carry on with the fine music.

have a good day, Dale. Thanks for hanging out

@Dale I’ve been living that caulk and paint fixing trim life all week. I never seem to get better at the caulk. Good luck

This ain't even the third hour and my third eye is opening to this

👁️ 👀

Use the phalanges, please @Zach & @Dale

GM Dave and fellow Abnormalites

Mornin!

Been recording the show while i was slumbering

morning TAndy

Good idea, Lizardbytes. Don't ruin your sleep for The New Abnormal.

Just returned from Italy but didn't come across any record stores there

I have a good hour I can listen back to later Dave

it's just as well, Lizardbytes. Trying to travel with more than a couple of records is trouble

true

Incredible stuff, gonna snag this album rn

100% Canterbury

Tasty Canterbury 🥘

The Canterbury creme Egg is quite yolky today

an instant classic in the Canterbury field. Better than most

Oh I was typing something and hit enter by accident

Oh. Pfftttthaha

Wow, was not aware of Nova Collective.

Or perhaps I was comparing the 😧😦 emotes thinking which looks scareder

😶‍🌫️

🫣😱

I made it just in time! Good morning difficult listeners!

Scaredy cats, the next 60 minutes is NOT for you.

🤘👁🫦👁🤘

Meerrrroooooow

ヽ（≧□≦）ノ

☜☠️☞

👉💀👈

I’m not scared of this difficult listening I just have to put in the extra effort

hey, jim haku, glad to turn you on to new product

welcome, addie

Wow this is an aggressive Yes cover

I appreciate the effort, thomas h

Matt Lynch is an amazing drummer.

Boredoms side project tree is ever expanding. I once thought I could catch em all.

those guys are busy

☜🐼☞

👉👻👈

♨️🫠👍

slightly sour singing though

The singing is the only difficult part to listen to

one reason why this show avoids vocals

This is like ZZTop covering Roundabout. Only Yes cover I’ve ever heard, 2 plus 2 equals, er…sushi.

hey, dan C. This is one of the more interesting Yes covers I've heard

This song is like riding the Jazz train to crazy town

a one way trip, for me at least

Funny, caulk and primer here all week too. Also new grass seed sprouting, er…in days this time of year.

it's got a nice beat

🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

not any more though

😅

hey, jimbooooo

And, I can trance to it

This goes hard, reminds me of that Pili Coit track I heard on here once

unrelated, but in the same direction, sure, Julian S

This one is beautifullll

hey, Ellie! Good to see you

Hey, MrM! West Siiiidddeeee ! Represent! 🖖🏻

Woooot! WestSiiidddeee❣️

Great show this morning ǝʌɐꓷ!!

glad you are enjoying the show, Ellie! 🙏🏻

O M G what am I listening to 🤩 WAQWAQ?!?! 🤯

it's been Giraffes? Giraffes! for a while now

Stay right there I’m getting the mushrooms be right back

Narration by Alan Watts

You had me at WAQ WAQ - I stayed for giraffes nudge a

made it back in time to hear an alan watts lecture.

Nuagr Watts etc - good job wow wow

time to dream 😴

new york has a dollar a gallon 'paint care fee.' always taking...

that'll create a thriving black market for paint

paint can smugglers from Canada

i bought grey primer so grey market.

WestSiiidddeee‼️

I run this shiiiiitttttttahh

There must exist a Goemon Pokémon in the WaqWaq Kingdom / where do you find this stuff? Seriously / fabulous 👏 I’m an ecstatic dance facilitator - these tracks great for DJ sets

thanks for the positive feedback, @LoveTheYogaGuy. I scour the globe obsessively for the music

Yes, I recognized Alan Watts' voice and cogent explanation of an enlightened spirit state. A valuable interpreter of Eastern philosophies for the West. But what a sorrow & loss was his too-early death at age 58. He refused to cut back on his drinking with the explanation (rationalization) that we are all intrinsically perfect and only need to realize that. I'm glad the best of his interpretations (as witness that sound bit) survive him.

Welcome Richard of RH. Yes, always enjoyable to listen to Alan Watts

Final Nine Mins?! I’m outrage 😤

oh, you'll be fine

Ahaha okay.

you see? all is well

positive attitude

CRISIS AVERTED ⚠️🚨‼️

That's sure good music, I don't believe I ever heard anything like that on the radio

another eXcellent show Dave! Thanks!

DJ DaveTheObscure 💟 Many thanks for another Grand Show! Big cheers! Stay awesome! Kind regards to you, Sir! 🖤💀

🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

Outstanding show today Dave! PRIMO quality

hey, Bud, thanks for dropping by

Thanks for the show today Dave

🙏🏻 thanks, folks!
