hi! all systems go!

let's keep it that way

it wasn’t my fault

hi, mr. m!

hello, DJ Esoterica!!

Greetings and Salutations to Some and Most!

already happened at sunrise :(

it’s happening anytime on Instagram and such as

went out to see at 5:30 am but wasn’t able to view / dave the obscure said he saw

Hello Eso!

hi mark and bri!

volume good?

Yes. Streaming is ACES

ZOOM came through for you!!

yeehaw!

Yes, clouds kept away for a glowing orange rising crescent. 🌒

Great player. Ya i could hear clearly

awesome. hi dave, too!

Who is listening via radio?

breaking up interview for optimal listening

new stratgey:)

or strategy

Fun! New summer format!

good strategy!

hmmm?

nice tunes 🎶

agreed, mr. m!

a little abrupt

haha we will get back to that part of. the convo...cliffhanger

needs work

you're killing me , mr. m!

trying to hide age

haha

You’re PERFECT, DJ Esoterica!!

that is why we're friends

Hellos Esoterica, Mark, Mr. M, Brian D, evaD ehT erucsbO & Special Guest Chris Brokaw! Oh how I love CB's expansive, trancetastic guitar stylings! Just sublime!

hi, Teresa!!!

i totally agree

Hi, Teresa Peacock!

Stevie P needs to hang up the Zoom!

true!

thought he was taken aback by the age question:)

“Uh Errr” *plays guitar 🎸

Ooo, mandolin-style! My grandpa Fausto would be so thrilled -- CB would be made an honorary "Paisan"!

aw, nice, t!

There it is!

haha

you can't be too sensitive about age mowadays

nowadays

rife with typos

smooth transition

blame typos on computer repair :)

yes!

pretty 🤩 ✨🌟💫

so sweet

this i assume is same gg allin who was big chat topic last week ?

sure

i wasn't there for that but there is only one gg allin

hmmm learned too much about his grave site last week

which dj

um i think dana k show

now a lot makes more sense the discussion was about the defacing of his grave site which i guessed stem from his performance persona

hi all !

hi tom!

i will have to find the show on Mixcloud, mark

it was chat discussion can’t remember what inspired it

wow

this discussion goes everywhere

as is the case with your pal here anyway, no?

*during the interview

i KNEW what you meant;)

esoterica getting the goods

oh yeah...

🏆

for me?;)

YES!!

Cheers to you, DJ Esoterica!

thank you! i am subject to the generosity and sweetness of the interviewee, which in this case, very nice!

and to you, mr. m!

karl hendricks cover featuring thalia zedek on vocals and guitar

Guitarrifics!

yeah, man!

are you still there?

haha

Great interview. But i LOVE Neil Young Dead Man soundtrack by itself or while viewing. Beautiful.

Gibby's cameo in that flick.... ha

i actually had the opposite reaction. didn't like dead man music in film, but like it after

gibby!

Beta Band is just right now.

We listened to the 3 Eps once on while camping in Maine near coast in this great park. this track came on when sun was getting low (at like 930pm ha summer up there...). Great moment. The effects, echoes all blending w birds & insects

nice!

UFO effects too

at least to nmy ears haha

That fast to slow repeat setting on the synth. Used in other songs (begin of Steve Miller Jungle Love)

so great. ooh steve miller, right

The key word is "unidentified" in that acronym.

gotcha

Great album here. Brainticket. Found out about this on some blogs of psych music years ago. And satellite radio too

cool!

Never heard of them for years

satellite radio??

maybe too exposed haha? you mean sirius?

Yup. Still listen occasionally. Sirius

i getcha

just wnat to make sure i am still playing little played muzaks

haha

work with me, trying to be cutting edge

reaching back through the hands of time (mixed metaphor?)

They had a good rare tracks channel when it was just Sirius before merger w XM in 2008 or so. The replacement channel was/ is not as rare. Still some good channels / shows on Sat radio for rarities

interesting

Yeah their indie station was better b4 the merger too. Lots of great new discoveries on that. Lots of overlap w prb back then 2006-2009 era

wow, didn't know

Bri, I think it all depends on who is programming, I'll hear stretches where they go super deep for like a month or tow and then not so much for the next couple months on same channel

Jenny Eliscu had a good show on there. Then they made a "classic era" indie channel & put all the Pavement, Sonic Youth, Built to Spill, etc on that. Then that channel went online only. Now so many channels are just like the streaming services. Algo based. Not bad. Just cold and not interesting. Missing the human element

Good points Tom

you are right though, even the deeper track channels feel programmed

isn't nadia reid divine? https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/mar/15/nadia-reid-out-of-my-province-review-new-zealand-spacebomb

especially since after they bought pandora

Ha some of their indie channel fans were all up in arms when Ween got a lot of airplay with " Your Party " when La Cucaracha lp came out. David Sanborn on yacht sax. I loved it. Loved that it p-d off the indie channel crowd

Ya Deep Tracks and other classic rock channels is the "Florida retirement" community of old fm djs from 70s-80s

for sure, just heard some of Jim Ladd's show last night

loving the late night sexy dj voice sound on the mic you have going today, sounds way different than you usually do

haha thanks, i think?

feeling mellowed by the gorgeous day...

sounds like you're trying to be extra hushed and quiet like its around 3AM

haha yes, that is it!

Don't wake the radio babes...

Recolga los huesos. Love this track

me, too...

More on La Chica: https://www.lachica-belleville.com/

Hey gang. I'm getting swamped with work sht today.

But I'm here in my heart.

oh no! we know you are:0 stevie p...

i mean :)

i will upload on mixcloud

tanks

sure thing! thx for stoppingby

very nice very mellow show today kinda appropriate roxy tune to use :)

thx!

arthur lee and company

I remember Charlotte Gainsbourg’s music was discussed on a recent Sonic Bloom broadcast. And now you’re playing music from another daughter of Jane Birkin!

yes!

hi david

Hi. I have the sheet music for this Love song. I bought it at a flea market in Hazlet!

The tempo is described as “Very Fast” and the vocals as “Shouted”.

awesome

learn something new every day on prb/ never knew Jane had a another performing daughter - pretty amazing family

i know, right?? lou has ushc great style

*such

haha that computer still tripping up the typing / see ya next week : day after bloomsday :)

Great time Eso. Thanks

thx!!

“Seven and Seven Is“ is just the first component of an equation. Its solution is the title of the single’s B-side: "Number 14"!

see ya next week!:) take care, go out and enjoy the day:)

love that, david

have a great week !

you, too!!!

bye guys
