Standing by to rake in the pledge money.

The best things in life are free, but not the cost of maintaining WPRB, we need money, that's what we want.

Always game for gamelan

Probably my favorite type of music, Brian.

Also, it's your turn to sing Mickey. Those are the rules now

Gamelan & give us money! Balinese, Javanese, crypto, we don't care!

I'll sing, but you won't hear me, and it'll disrupt the zoom meeting my wife is on the next room.

tuned in and enjoying it!

Danke, Mr.M

haha mickey gotta an extremely hard act to follow today / most of the bloomies r prob still coming down from that last hours high:)

mickey is up to the task!

Look bud, I don't make the rules, I just voluntarily signed up to enforce them with the violence they require

I'm only here to amuse myself. If anyone else likes it, gravy.

Yes!

Two drive shows, two different versions.

That mentality produces some great shows in my opinion, please indulge yourself

Does wprb accept dogecoin

I believe we're strictly US$$$, Tyler

Mr Vivian Stanshall!

I'm finally hearing what Jim hears

Mickey I can't hear you

Yeah, me neither. Strange. Also an improvement.

I can hear both DJs via streaming

I tried the stream too- and the voices were way low, but the bed music ok

I'm streaming too. Jim often says he can't hear me, but no one else has had that problem until now. So... shrug emoji?

weird. have you tried turning everything off and then back on again?!?

It's just that the vocals are way low in the mix, as they say

splendid set!

Yeah, I heard the same thing Readie. I QC'd this all before sending it out, and it was all there, so digital anomalies here we are I guess.

Thanks Brian

Anyone else not hear me and Dave a minute ago?

radio transmission was fine

🤷🏾‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🤷🏽

That's odd.

in the bluetooth speaker No micky and Dave, but when I put it on the stereo, all the micky and dave. A phase cancelation event is occurring is my guess.

I didn’t want to hear you! Is that better?!?

Does that help!?!

Thanks Colin, that's the likely culprit.

I'm listening to the radio broadcast in stereo, and it sounds like the voices were recorded out of phase, so they cancel out if you listen in mono!

Putting my doodad in my hair now....

Mr.M, that's my preference as well.

AH! I'm listening on a mono radio

Phase Cancellation Event...perfect band or radio show name!

This is when I learn my 10 year old laptop is set to mono. Thanks Bud!

Hive mind!

#Goof I like DJ Mickey and this nice show!

Every Thursday at 3 is a Phase Cancellation Event.

Not Appearing Tonight "Phase Cancellation Event". Free Beer and Chicken.

Phasing out of perception is one of my more endearing qualities.

Just after the Airborne Toxic Event (Delillo)

I'm listening in trinaural as usual. 3rd eye thinks it's an ear. Eyeache my ear!

I'm not even listening, I'm just doing this from memory.

I mean you're all plugged directly into my brain.

I mean, good luck.

Well that explains the phase issues, then. You're probably bipolar.

This was the best piece of music from last year, by the way.

You're not so incorrect, Bud

I have a doo-dad in my hair

The Sprawl has been described as schizophrenic, anyway.

My Irish hair is a doo-dad in and of itself.

yay Irish hair!

Irish hare...delicious.

When Irish hair is smiling, all the world is thick and curly.

I think Krista discussed the Irish hare recently in the zoological portion of Habitat Enrichment.

I'm somewhat distracted here and thought that said Irish Hare Krishna at first glance.

Didgeridon’t rn with all these “jokes”

wow what a find that ur playing here / could listen forever

they only eat mock hare

So, jacked into speakers, I hear me. Just laptop, not so much.

I breathe mock air. On The G String

Thanks Mark, one of the best $3.99 I ever spent.

hare krishna are krishna hare rama, i turned on my receiver and here comes Mickey! yay

And Dave! Thanks Dave!

Haven't heard Dave yet

I have a pocket bel full of canons too

I just hit the mono button on my receiver, and the voice magically disappears!

There he is! Hi Dave!

Sometimes mono is great, Bud

All is well with the world now

Hi there. I do tend to fade into nothingness.

my stereo tuned radio is dual voice-good now, my monaural clock radio, the vox is weak

Late in saying? But everything sounds good to me, and cool story evad! That's pretty cool

@Jimbeaux, same here

Oh i love this so...

I still worry about that young man who wanted to dedicate his life to the Tabla.

Why am I listening to this 💨

arm phartz

And you dropped this earlier Mickey, ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Because it's interesting af.

Would you have recommended a different instrument evad?

The year was 1962. The young man's name was Zakir Hussain.

Shout out to my friend Ben Chatrer at PREX for insisting I buy this record many years ago.

the sitar would take a lot longer to learn maybe

Oh this reminds me! You've played Andre antunes before evad, have you seen this one yet? It's pretty great

https://youtu.be/4n7bUYBYZPE

Love

It's not a matter of which instrument, it's seeing how difficult it is for anybody to make a living playing Indian Classical Music.

This is how I warm up before Recherché

need an auctioneer for the pledge drive...would be thru the ROOF!

that’s Righteous, DJ Readie!!

that's why Readie's voice is so mellifluous

aww, Jimbeaux, you and Mr. M. thank you lol

Ha true, maybe he has a trust fund? Maybe you've even heard his music by now! And I kinda wanna hear you warming up then readie!

Thanks, dude. I was not aware of this new addition to Andres Antunes' site.

George Carlin had a great vocal sound effect i think it was on Class Clown LP. A glottal stop and hiccup sound combined and then some. Would go very well with Eephing

Tuvan throat singing, anyone?

I got a 🖤

I know just what you mean Brian! Yeah his vocalization and language days are great

And very glad to have been able to share that with you, it's probably my favorite of all those

I try to imitate George's sound and come close but just have fun with it

Ha yeah, I think pato had a Tuvan throat singing cover song last weekend

the black dog barks at night

@Bud - funny. But no.

The artist formerly known as the Worried Waltzer can throat sing.

If you have a significant other, don't practice your Tuvan throat singing near them

He does a Tuvan Throat-Singing imitation of George Thorogood.

He can? Wow, I'd love to hear that!! Miss Mr. Various!

Thoroughly enjoyed that starship beer track

Thanks dude.

Whatcha listenin to Bobby?

I'd pay to hear that, @Mickey!

Haha, I don't think you'd like it

Thomas the Worried Waltzer also used to do some splendid vocalizations on the phrase "WPRB" years ago.

"Gimme soome boooooooooooiiiiiiiiiiioooooooiiiiiiiiiooooozzzzzz."

iiiooooooooooooz."

Give that gentleman a Ricola.

Lol

Really, I don't know how they can sustain that screaming for a whole show, let alone a career spanning years.

Big cough drop industry and metal music have been in cahoots for years

Indubitably!

YESSSS!!

Totally, I hear eventually you practice enough and don't damage your vocal cords

Oh, kinda related, evad, did you ever check out cause for effect?

Okay, @the_dude- goals

Haha @ readie! I'll check in with ya in a month, let's hear your progress on air!

B to the O to the C

Yeah! I can practice now in a quarantine mode

If you have an early black & white lp covered BOC LP you're in for good time

Those early BOCs are great.

D&S is driving th car music for me!

more cowbell

@ the dude - yes. Nice math metal. Especially the drumming. Wish their songs were longer.

In fact, I hear no cowbell in this, perhaps it's that phase thing...

omg I love you whoever you are...

Bows down

we are not worthy!

We're not worthy

Whoa! Great minds think alike I guess lol

yes @dude!

YESSS!!

YEAH!!!

Also, glad to hear it evad! Ha yeah, they are short and sweet, it's like a little funny but still really good/fun to listen to

That was the Grime Wiper. He subs for me sometimes.

so much synchronicity up in this bad boiiii!

Loved the stripped down aspect

Clavving without a nette

Lol definitely a quality time here. And let him know to keep up the good work !

Kin Vassy!

Mr. Grime Wiper, I am enthralled

Let me know next time he subs, Mick- I'll take a sick day from work to listen

Grim Rippers with the Grime Wiper will sneak attack again in the coming weeks.

YASS

Love this

Which is kinda mean, Mickey, I realize, you're great too. <3

GW needs the love more than I do.

this is marvelous accompaniment for interpretive dance...pardon me while I fetch my scarves

Readie, you know the album Parachute by the Pretty Things?

I do not know that particular album, Mickey

I think I will have to familiarize myself

love the Pretty things

I've been way into it again lately and I think you'll so be the same.

You have never steered me wrong, Mickey- I will check it.

that was supposed to be "soon," but "so" works too.

And I will be so thankful to you for hipping me to Fugazi.

forever

Oh hell yeah, my pleasure!

And now, microtonal music for Swiss alphorn quartet...

this is what WPRB is all about right here...yeah

WPRB, folks...

RII-CO-la

Time for me to skype to Lizbot and prep for doubleplus good co-hosting. Thanks Mickey and GW and all you righteous dudes for a wonderful time!!!!

WPRB, where the djs recommend straight ahead rock records to each other, while playing microtonal alphorn music on the air.

love ya, Mick!!!

Thanks for being here Readie. And thanks for helping me my first time on the air 10 years ago!

big CHEERS to DJ Readie!

I'll never forget it- my sincere pleasure!!!

Jim Morrison, folks

Thanks Mr. M!

see y'all on the flip!

This is great Plunderdoors

haha this is pretty amazing:)

Cheers readie!

Mr. Mojo rising, all mixed up and rearranged

He's credited as Sir Jim Moron in the notes.

Am I HIGH AF RN ¿¿¿

Trick question. Yr always hi af.

Hugs! 🤗

i think everyone goes thru same morrison phases: love him as a tween / get jaded w him as get old but later in life begin to appreciate him again

Cocaine Emoji

🕺🏻🕺🏻🕺🏻

Robby Krieger & John Densmore

🏔 🎠 cocaineEmoji

Blackalicious' Blazing Arrow = GOAT

I actually see those, Mr.M

Does that mean I'm high AF?

I laughed out loud at sir moron, and yeah definitely phases, but I'm always gonna love the doors though

when you’re high, you’re high

Dude, once you get past the mythology, you love Morrison Hotel

I'm high on pledges to WPRB

I'm also high on Mel Blanc imitating Al Jolson

That Mel Blanc was great. From Blanc du Blanc to Mel Blanc.... only on wprb

And next, a human bass player dueting with a piano playing cat

MEOW

haha I’ve been contemplating using my prb addiction as reason for a cannabis prescription:)

Rim Gripper/Glam Wrapper/Glum Rapper/Wry Grumper

Gum Whooper

mark, ya can get an Rx if you're anxious over what PRB is gonna play next

or for migraine-inducing sonic explorations, your choice

Back in my late-night/early morning days, I would encouraged folks to call me only if they were high af, which was easy cuz everyone was at 1am. (except me)

Did you get some orders for ramen or fries or ???

One semester, I think Spring 2013, I was on 2 to 4am, and I would just play everything backwards, for 2 months. Those were some fantastic phone calls.

Ha!

ynnuf s’taht

And that inspired me to play everything uʍop ǝpi̩sdn.

No food orders, but someone asked me to stay on until 6 cuz he was "outside planting trees and I don't like the automation."

uuuhhh, garden after sunrise THX

more or less what I said, Mr.M

He offered to have food delivered to me, though

I asked if he wanted me to play a certain REM song, but he did get the reference.

Phil!

4am food delivery from strange stranger?? PASS

no, trees are happier when planted before waking up. wouldn't you be?

Phil just turned 81, like WPRB

Stipe luvs trees. DuhDoy.

Typical Phil song that was nearly impossible to play live because every verse is a little different. And then there's the odd time signatures...

Yep 3/15. Odd time signature coming up...

Gardening at Night i got it Mickey

and the occasional sound of a jet plane flying between your ears

3/15 is Phil's birthday not a time sig haha

the tinnitus faerie

They're just brokenhearted dragonflies, Jim

i just took 3/15 time sig as gospel. thx for being honest Brian!

Wouldn't that just be 1/5?

The riff is in 11/8, but I'm sure that's someone's birthday, too.

I think some were 11 beat measures not sure. Counted to 5 and a half and i think it worked

11/17 here

You can't have an odd # on the bottom except for 1 i guess.

Wait. Final Two Mins?!?

Bud's got it! 11 beats. Count 5 and and at the end there

Not too late to make that pledge, Mr. M!

488! Way to go Mickey & evaD

you & me both 11/17 mickey!

Then at the end, an occasional 3/8 measure among all the 4/4s.

DJ Mickey! DJ DaveTheObscure! Excellent show! Good on y’all! Cheers and kind regards!

Right on Jim!

Right on errbody!

Bud, you know yr shit!

Liz and Readie party next!

PREX!

I recently transcribed the whole thing. Hasn't everybody and one time or another?

Charles Mingus' 99th birthday next week!

Meet me at Liz's!
