howdy!

Sound went out, came on for 1/2 sec, is off again with the horrible 'off music'

nooooo!

And the station is back

hi rob! you know that seems to happen more often at night

Hi Esoterica! You boomeranged :))

Hi Esoterica! I don't know, I currently only (can) listen to the station after 6 pm

is is broadcasting now?

It went off again for c 5 seconds, now it is back on

can you hear music?

but the music is sort of floating in and out

yes I can hear music rn

the music 'floating'/wavering could be the station or it could be the actual musical piece

oh ok

while I was typing that last bit, the station went silent for a couple of seconds 1-2x but the 'off music' didn't kick in

hi, bo!

it says "on-air" now...

The Floating Points piece is playing fine right now

I'm saying shite all lest I jinx the whole works.

yay. fingers crossed. shite away, bo!

i am reverse psychologist myself

LMIAO!!! :))

Oh look who’s here!

I'll loving this Floating Points track

Hi, DJ Esoterica, et al!

hi, christine! now we are into the corsano/orcutt butthey go together nicely, I thknk

typing quickly there

That was a very smooth segue.

Mmm, this is AOK! Hi Christine!

I am a slow typer, so by the time I've finished typing my comment, the track has changed. Hi, Bo! What's the craic?

Not as slow as this sloth, mighty craic altogether tonight ;))

This is piece is very cool!

* famous

so glad you got to get together with family, deirdre. so sweet:)

@deirdre, that is wonderful.

this from bandcamp: "After releasing one of the year’s most remarkable records with ‘iki', Japanese pipe-organ builder and sound artist Yosuke Fujita returns with this remarkable 40 minute contribution to our Documenting Sound series, recorded in a cave at the foot of Mt. Fuji and featuring his custom-built pipe organ in duet with a colony of bats indigenous to the area. It’s a beautiful, quietly extraordinary trip. - Boomkat Editions -"

so I’m boring.

haha...have a cup o' tea, mr. m :)

guess I’ll just cry into my wine and go to bed for the month

haha. no one said this was going to be easy. ;)
