But I can tell already it'll have to spill over into a second week because there's just too much RPI music to go over.

Not sure how to advertise those shows. I do not participate in any social media outside of this chat room.
Krista 7:44:15 AM
Good morning, nice to hear your selections this morning!
Christine 🦊 7:47:00 AM
Perhaps someone on the WPRB staff could put out the good word about Sangeet tomorrow & The New Abnormal next week on the WPRB Facebook page. 💻 I don't know if PRB has presence on Instragram, Twitter, and other social media platforms because I don't have them.

@Krista, good morning 🌅 Did you all ride out the storm OK yesterday?
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:49:18 AM
I did tell the program director, but am not sure if there has been any followup. (DTO often does not register on radar.)
Brian D 7:57:51 AM
Good morning all. I liked that Nils Petter Molvær track. I think that was the one that sounded a bit Hassell-ish. Great show
Brian D 7:58:59 AM
And Popul Vuh was great for coffee / breakfast time acclimating to the begin of the day
ǝɹnɔsqꓳ ǝɥꓕ ǝʌɐꓷ (host) 7:59:46 AM
Good morning, Brian. Correct about Nils Petter Molvær; he is one of the premier Hassell clones. And that wasn't even his most hasselliest.
-ᎷяMΔᏞᏨØИᎢΞNᎢ-💀 8:00:56 AM
WPRB needs a Social Media Director. (👃👆Not It!) There are all the social media accounts for the station including a Linktree and a Listener Newsletter. I don’t see posts for special upcoming shows with DJ DaveTheObscure. This is an outrage.

Yes, Brian, Covet's mathrock is one of the most virtuosic. And less harsh than others.

they are both distance runners, and their music represents the trancelike flow states and extreme physical exertion associated with that activity.
