good evening everyone! thanks as always to Selecta Jerry for the hand-off!

despite the title, tonight's program may have FEWER flutes than usual...

A time machine to 2018, nice

Beautiful this Asmar Ya Sukkar song

The accordion (or instrument like it, concertina?) is very interesting, sounds French sometimes

there will be a few from this reissue label -- Radio Martiko -- tonight!

I hurt my neck looking over that 4 leaf clover

Big up Elliot 4 leaf clover sweet 🍀

I used to request this song when the old-time bands played at Fiume in Philly

a bar way too small to fit a double bass or trombone, but that never stopped them

Reminds me of drunken escapades at the mummers parade

Total child memory hearing this. From grandparents, parents and probably cartoons

St. Paddy's is sooner than you'd think! I saw soda bread at Costco!

Makes me think of what would be played on the radio in Fallout. Four Leaf Clover, that is.

Love the Irish potatoes

I'm hoping to find some -- my first!

I'm out myself as a Midwesterner, but I first learned about them on a Wikipedia list of 'New Jersey cuisine' when I moved here

*outing

First I heard of them (also a midwesterner) is when Matt (from Philly) made them for me!

I was very surprised when he brought me them, I was expecting something savory

They're like candy, right, no potatoes involved? Another midwesternator here too.

ps. thanks 2 all for enduring my weird traditional singing + dance beat moment back there

I liked the genre blending!

Was Mikan Mukku angry about something or just getting something off her chest?

Cream cheese, coconut, cinnamon

we aim to please, jimbeauxsonic

Ok, will adopt that name for awhile!

Jerry, I have a real fear that some of the songs I play would offend me if I knew what they were saying...

ignorance is bliss

Pretty mind blowing stuff i would say

😂 elliot

Fcc better have some talented translators to bring elliot down 🔥

Gonna have to be an inside job!

I'd hate to rat anyone out, but it would be nice to get paid to listen to WPRB all day...

'they're playing another DEVO rip-off, boss!'

The other stations are mad because WPRB (rightfully) proclaims to be NJ's ONLY radio station.

Something about this has Mr. Fuzz the cat growling at the radio. Who knows what languages he speaks?

most of their music is Name Your Price!

https://mirroredlipsss.bandcamp.com/music

in case you're looking for inexpensive ways to torment your cat

I try to attract my neighbors pets through music, but it rarely works

my request is : can I get a copy of that magic flute floppy disk ? I’ll give u a postal address :)

don't worry Mark, I'll just fax it to you

Are you capable of playing floppy discs? I think a lot about all the lost music, imprisoned on obsolete mediums

Two very interesting vocal styles

every now and then, I take a tour of the 'Format' filter on Discogs

Haha but I’m out of the waxy paper for my fax machine / I like to kid the millennials & gen z’s about “technology” that predates them

I like how Krista knows the retro tech :)

gotta love SelectaVision, movies that can only be seen by Jerry

https://ptpimg.me/p28hh7.gif

Hmmm even I’m not familiar w that format !

@Mark, my first ever experience playing video games was playing Oregon Trail on one of those floppy discs! Also played a grammer game where a vacuum cleaner taught spelling

Found it: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spellevator

Haha never would have guessed that but love it / we did discuss typewriters in one of the chats :) thermal transfer fax paper is what I’m out of !

attn FCC: the lyric is something like 'I want to find a raft', not whatever your dirty minds are hearing!

Made a joke by misspelling "grammar" plz clap

I like to follow along the lyrics w shazam / I’m always impressed w how the dj’s fuzz out the questionable ones :)

Haha didn’t even notice the misspelling & i used to be a Spelling stickler

Shazaming some shows on WPRB feels like a lost cause...

and now: we fly into space with Weidorje

That Chikada track was sick

Weidorje always gets my attention.

first time hearing this. this is wild!

Weidorje is a child of Magma, with a 2nd keyboardist from Heldon.

glad you liked it, avantbored! I thought the vocals at the end were zeuhlish enough to precede Weidorje!

This show tonight is maddening in a great way!

I'm underlistened in the French stuff from the 70s; familiar only with the name Pinhas

I describe Weidorje as a supergroup in the mic break, but if being made up of ex-Magma members is enough to make you a supergroup, then that's basically all French prog from the era...

Dave would know better than me, though...

so good to be listening with everyone tonight!

Haha the whole time me thinks you were live

Yes, Weidorje was mostly Magma members, plus Gauthier from Heldon, as well as a few others.

Magic of radio strikes again

it's happy hour here on the west coast. if only I had a patio

🍷 Sláinte!

'live in studio', like those albums with fake cheers in the background

these chat posts aren't prerecorded, though!

oh, hi avantbored! just realized where I know you from :)

To think we were jamming to four leaf clover and now listen to where we are

the name seemed familiar...

'past performances don't guarantee future performances', as they say, Jerry

Happy to be finally listening as live as it gets!

thought the last mic break was live too

I can't wait to be back in the WPRB studios, sharing a mic with a bunch of other dirty music fans

a year's distance sure makes the whole thing seem strange

"May Elohim bless you" ☻

I was telling pat o i do the same thing at home as i do at the station following him. Sit on the couch fumble on my phone and listen to scarlet pumpernickel

This is the year we will make edible Hamentaschen, I swear

That will go good for the people who dont like irish potatoes

'wish you good luck and happy life' might be a less sacrilegious thing to say on air...

the Indian Ocean, man...

the clarinet playing in this style of music -- epirotika, from Epirus in NW Greece -- hits me so deeply

that's a clarinet?

kind of loving what the recording medium did to it

I couldn't believe it, either!

very about this set

trying to end where we began, sort of

modern epirotika sounds much more psychedelic -- they really like reverb

https://tunein.com/radio/Radio-Epirus-945-s99017/

a station in Ioannina where it's all they play -- astounding stuff

It's so beautiful! I picked up a "reeds" compilation that has some beautiful reeded instruments. Last week (I think, Dave will know) in the Sangeet show was a very interesting 2 reeded instrument, I forget the name of it

I wish I'd turned in earlier. This track rules!

Shehnai in the north. Nadaswaram is a larger one on the south.

this is a really neat reeds compilation: https://dust-digital.com/shop-vinyl/excavated-shellac-reeds

his Excavated Shellac blog is a miracle

I have that massive compilation released last year. Have yet to dig in.

be careful - you could get lost in it...

Think that's why I've been avoiding it!

one of the tracks -- a north Vietnamese court ballad -- sounds weirdly like a lonely prewar country blues recording

wow

Are there any comps that do that kind of pairing?

if you find one, tell me!

haha will do!

Nice show E ! You made my dinner very entertaining

That's the one I have

so glad I got to tune in; can't wait for next week.

Mekong Delta Blues

Is that by Master Kong Nay?

Yes

rad

It's an astounding album, very much Delta blues and Vietnamese traditional, fused together in surprising ways

nothing's better than lining up a bunch of weird music with friends! thanks for tuning in, and stick around for Uneasy Listening!

looking forward to exploring

cheers, all!

cheers, Elliot! See you next week. Thanks for the tunes.
