Greetings and Salutations, DJ DaveTheObscure

Good night to you, Mr. M!

Great selection to start the show! ❇️✳️❇️

I'm glad you like it.

good morning dave looks like the robo dj is now posting their playlist on spinitron

Good morning, Mark. I see you are correct. By popular demand, they managed to figure that out.

yeah every so often someone asks in chat what got played in that hour now maybe the robot will open up a chat :)

With all the AI advances, that might happen.

haha AI may figure that out by the end of this track ! :)

Ha you beat me to it! Robot chat would be fun, but don't let the machines take your jobs!

True, dude. There are already too many robot radio stations out there.

haha non robot 🤖 stations are the exception these days

Actually, years ago they started "Cleverbot", a chatterbot web application that uses an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to have conversations with humans.

Well I for one, welcome our new robotic dj overlords

Ha yeah I think I remember chatting with that..little early wasn't there yet

There's a big data doc that talks about an early AI therapist and it was apparently very well received by people

brian & these vibes could do an entire show about the topic

Good suggestion. Tell Brian, and he'll likely explore the topic for us.

That more data song by negative land would fit in that show

Oh yeah.

🕊🎻⚠️🎼 I like the pic added to playlist. Cheers, DJ DaveTheObscure! 🕊🎻⚠️🎼

Thanks, Mr. M!

And yeah this song has been great, it reminds me of something or sounds familiar but can't place it... and 49 min! You got errands ro run today? Extended smoke break?

Love Negativland. MY WHOLE ROOM IS A MICROPHONE!!

I just like the song, but it never got much airplay due to time constraints. But if Captain Ahab can play a long song, so can I!

Good morning, Brain D. Yeah, Negativland is a hoot.

And Jon Solomon. Great track by Unrest the other night. 30-40 mins

Mine is longer....

And i think i heard an hour long Osees 2 months ago on JS

😆

If I have to, I'll play a 79 minute Klaus Schulze piece.

Do. It.

Lehigh area station is intruding today at home must be another 103.3

And hear radios turning off across the world...

DJ DaveTheObscure, this is definitely an Independent Radio WIN to be sure! 🏆 Good on ya!

As The Band might say , it's all about the songs with Garth not length

I'm glad some folks are up early to hear it.

GOOD MORNING BREAKFAST CREW 👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳👨‍🍳

Good morning, Chef.

Epic to sat the least. Good morning.

Good morning, Corage Mike.

Is anyone else gonna eat a hard boiled egg? I'm about to garble these babies up

Just started seeing them again! 🥾

And yeah I'd love one, salt and pepper please

That was really cool Dave! Great way to start the day

And this one too. Ripping gtr

Thank you, Brian. 🙏 Yeah, Djam Karet has some good ones.

from CALIFORNIA‼️

I heard good old regular cicadas in the neighborhood last few days here in Bucks Co Pa

Yes, Mr. M. Even California sometimes produces music.

Brain, I too have started hearing the annual cicadas.

Marc Ribot has been putting out some interesting stuff under Ceramic Dog last decade or so

I’ve never heard of California before today 👻

I heard California might also make 'moving pictures'.

First heard of Marc on the Tom Waits records in 80s 90s. Lead gtr perfection on Jockey Full of Bourbon.

Then in 90s my roommate had some odd documentary on vhs titled Descent into Baldness about Marc. Really interesting

I like that title.

That’s an awesome title.

Never stays in 1 zone too long. Loved his Cubanos Postizos lps (The Prosthetic Cubans).

I like that translation of that title.

Another great title/ band name

Interesting assortment of musical instruments for ROVO. Thanks for including those details.

You're welcome. Sometimes, it's hard to tell the difference between electric violin and guitar.

Good morning, all 🌄

¡ ǝui̩ʇsi̩ɹɥꓛ `ᵷui̩uɹoɯ poo⅁

Good morning, Christine 🌞

That Rovo is definitely cool. Hey, MrM 💀!

I WUV DIS.

I also 😊

Just a dash, a sprinkle of magma

Magma was quite influential. Sometimes in a good way.

Small infusions of Zeuhl can make things quite interesting.

slight soupçon of le Magma

Microdosing Zeuhl can be beneficial.

I need a magma transfusion, tectonic platelets and all

It's easy to get addicted. Friends might have to stage an intervention.

I'll take a hit of that Zeuhl please, thanks

Good morning all (coffee emoji)

Good morning, DSM. ☕️

Morning, DSM ☕ and 🍵

Hahaha @ all ya. I've been experimenting with macro dosing wprb, it's really been going great. And there's plenty to go around DSM!

We can quit PRB anytime we want...yeah...

You know it's bad when you hit the power on the radio before you brew the coffee

This is your brain on PRB 🍳🧘‍♀️☮🤯

Been trying to quit PRB for 29 yrs and i just CANNOT.

First step, surrender yourself to a higher power

That higher power? 103.3

And I've been really digging all the Chris Forsyth I've been hearing

I'll second that, the Forsyth jams have all been very enjoyable!

DJ DaveTheObscure, many thanks for sharing all these nice selections! Appreciate all you do to make a great show! Cheers and kind regards!

Thank you DTO 🙏 Thanks, all you (totally non-addicted) New Abnormalists!

Cheers to all the Dears! ✨🌟💫

⌛ That’s it for "ፖዚɚ ቢⱸሡ ꬂꙎꝴፁꝵጢⲀረ” for today. Thanks for listening, and keeping me company in the chat. Stay tuned to ‘PRB for Summer Connection with Anika.

Great show Dave!

Anika has been so good this summer

🙏 Thanks, all. I'm working on my RPI show, maybe in 2 weeks.

Yes, Anika's show is fine.
