And I'm glad it is! Good morning evad

It's the_dude! Good morning.

😎

Twists and turns in this one

Yeah, man.

Snarky puppy is great! Saw them in Chicago once, my girlfriend used to see them play house shows in North Carolina, or at least some of the members, which I've been a little envious of

I'm very much envious. I don't get out much, and have missed most every concert. The few concerts I have been able to see are the exception.

I hope that's by choice, blink twice if you need help!

And I've really been liking all of the cuneiform label bands/tracks on your shows, will have to look into that label more

😐😑😐😑😐

Over the years, there have been multiple reasons for failure to attend concerts: lack of awareness, lack of transportation, lack of funds, childcare demands, laziness. Or a combination of those reasons.

Re: Cuneiform label. They have plenty of interesting groups on that label. Some of the material on that label can be 'challenging' listening, though.

good morning dave thanks for the gifs they brought a smile today :)

Good morning, Mark. Glad to bring a modicum of joy to my listeners.

😂 the blinking too me a second! Help is on the way! But I totally get all that evad, I think we all share a lot of those reasons...

And then I'm glad to say you've brought much more than a modicum of joy today, several in fact

As Ian Anderson sang, "that's the honest measure of my worth".

hey dude u just took my thought / modicum is an understatement!

Haha I guess we got great minds! Also - curious about music that you find challenging to listen to...

From Cuneiform's enormous catalog of music, I select the more digestible tracks. Some of it I don't appreciate. But that's just me.

Morning, all 🌄

I see I missed Tarika 🇲🇬 Damn.

Good morning, Christine. I see you forgot to set the alarm for 6:59.

You got me! As it was, I yelled an word that you can't say on the radio when my alarm rang at 8:01.

morning dave and gang, Lili's lull in the conversation was full of dynamite last night, lots of good stuff, like your show

@Kentman, morning! I missed Lili's show. What were some of your favorites?

Hello Kentman. Another good show I missed! Crumbs!

she played a band from Portugal call Beautify Junkyards and new Boogarins

I didn't realize what a gem that show is, I was sitting there looking up one band after another, I think she signed in the chat with russian script, wow,

I trust your appreciation calibration evad - and good morning tardy people!

I am continually amazed at the level of creativity and sheer wonderfulness in the playlists and the chats. And that goes for pretty much every show. How does everyone continually hit such such a bar?

morning Dude, how's business?,

We're all passionate about music, and gather inspiration from each other.

I know right Christine? It's not just one great show from a great DJ, it's great shows all the time across the calendar. And thanks kentman, it's not bad actually! Things have been picking up with better weather and increase in vaccinations I think, had a rough few weeks in Feb/March

And that chat shows WPRB attracts the best listeners.

Dave have you DJs settled on a format for the Spring fund raiser, like requests and such?

Checked out Lilly's set , love Aye Nako!

And to sound like mr.m - guapo rn af

the tomato ketchup boys too

@kentman, no format. Requests may be entertained by the % of DJs that are able to broadcast live remotely. My show is still pre-recorded. Our mic breaks will all have guest DJs from another show.

By the way, I like the photo of your home studio above, DJ Dave. I can picture big speakers in the cabinet below the sinks. 🔊

sounds like a party. saving up my loose change and hey Dude don't wake up MrM

Yes, Christine, we have been forced to adapt during COVID-19.

Welcome Mr. M!

Adapt, survive, and thrive.

Lolol all around - 🙈

what time is it where you are MrM?

Welcome back, Mr. M!

Polydactyl is a gem and Guapo too. sorry Mr M for knocking on the crypt. you need your rest

@MrM, good morning 💀

Only 3 songs by Polydactyl are available. They share a chapman stick player (Wayne Leechford) with Ozone Quartet.

having all these tracks listed by every show is worth supporting monetarily speaking, after each show you can mine for gems

I agree, kentman. The Spinitron playlist (and chat) brings a new dimension to the station. But it does have a cost.

Aww yeah Meshuggah

And yeah it's a totally new experience. I liked the old playlists online and calling in too, but this has also been a lot of fun. Good luck taking calls and chatting in the future!

I would like everyone to join me in a cleansing scream. 🗣

I *knew* things were going to turn dark...

another great soundtrack for a gloomy Friday morn, great show Dave

Primal screams for everyone!

🌧️

Can't help it. The darkness is strong within me.

We'll feel better after

we needed that after this past year's crap

Gonna need more than one song to feel catharsis from 2020!

my wheats are being shredded

Yo three point oh

Hello JimbO3.O.

hello, Fri-yay compatriots!

welcome to musical smorgasbord

never saw that photo of Steve T standing in the snow with wild turkeys

I think I got it from his website.

Wow, Japan. 🇯🇵

Yes. I love all of Japan and their assorted solo endeavors.

All the more reasons to tune in!

NATACHA ATLAS 💖

DJ DaveTheObscure, excellent show! Many thanks! Kind regards to you, Sir!

Cheers to all of you very nice people!!

Welcome back again, Mr. M! Thank you for your kind words.

Thanks, DJ Dave the Obscure! Thx, all.

Hahaha! Dave’s not here!!

Who?

Dave!

Many modicums of joy today mr. Obscure! Thanks again! See ya next time

Thanks DTOverdrive!

Didn't you hear what your mother said!?!?

Begins with a "B".... ends with a "B".... what is your name BOB?

LOL 😂 i always knew dave wasn’t there / nearly ran off the road :)

Blurb??

Good time. Smorgasbord being key word o the day. A little slice of nearly everything. God sounds evaD!

This is no time to rest. Jen is up next.

Quite Interesting...!

i'll be listening as always
