It’s “ኻᶒ ᚻєឃ Ⱑᛔᚥፀ𐌓ᛗⲀᶅ” on uoʇǝɔui̩ɹꓒ ꓭꓤꓒꓟ

Good morning, Mr. M.

Isn't it bedtime for Mr. M?𓀿

Corvus, the crow.

It's a constellation just like the others.

No less valid.

Good morning, Dave the Obscure & MrMalcontent 💀 Happy October! 🎃

My horrorscope for today says good day for music and chat.

Good morning, Christine.

Looks like I ticked off Mr. M. again 🐼

My horrorscope 🔮🦇🎶📻 🎙🧛🏽‍♂️ calls for emojis, tea, and groovy music.

@MrM, where are u?

So amazing how accurate that is!

I have a headache. Boo. I shoulda waited to join a chat. SillyMrM. Have a nice day! 🖤💀

Have a good rest, Mr. M. 𓀿

Lol did you delete your chats Mr. M?! Good morning Abby normal crew

I'll fix your tea for ya Christine, hot today?

Good morning, Dude.

Sending analgesics your way, MrM. Yo DTO Christine and Le Dude!

Good morning, jimbeaux.

@MrM, take care of that skull of yours. 💀 💫

morning all, a chill 48 degrees, tea time to be sure

Good morning, Kentman.

@dude, hot tea sounds wonderful. What are you having?

Yo jimbeaux & kentman

I'll take some too beaux! And yes, actually got cold on my ride today, so maybe a cappuccino to start the day?

Dave, I was wondering about why a few DJs don't have chats open. Is that a personal preference on their part, or is a budgetary issue?

Ooh, just had a stovetop cappuccino!

Good morning all. 49 on the car thermo. All about the numbers. Constellation Cuervo!

The chat is available to all DJs. I can only speculate why some do not use it. Some pre-recording DJs may simply be unavailable while the show airs.

Oooo hot tea… good idea. Been massively resonating with this morning mood. Guten Morgen!

Guten Morgen, Guelo. And Brian D.

thanks DTO, Moroccan mint for me

Travelers Chai ( ＾∀＾)

I know Mike from Music With Space has run a chat on another platform for a while, so sticks with that.

rainforest blend cafe . Damn good. And HOT

No cherry pie

Is that Laura Palmer talking to me through the radio

What year is it?

Year of the (percolated) fish

This is great. Bouncing around sound

Yeah, Saint Abdullah creates some interesting sound collages.

These beeps & boops are beneficial for the brain

Maybe even cures somebody's headache.

I like that numbers track bouncing around earlier I think it was Nelson?

Not Ricky's twins with the lion's mane white hair

Yes, Bill Nelson sampled some old recordings.

Do y’all let your tea stew forever or take it out as directed…

Brew rather

As directed. Bitter otherwise

Mine gets bitter. So I add a tsp. of sugar.

Floating oils off flavors etc

Agreed

Some tea you want just before the boil pt water as well. Not full on raging boil

@Brian, agree. 🍵 like green tea.

mhmm

the galaxy/storm image pairing and this music really is conveying it all to me right now.... like what Peter Gabriel is talking about at the end of lamb lies down....

😊

one of my favorites, thanks DTO!!

Glad you are enjoying.

Ya Abercrombie (Mraz) and this Towner both great

That whole decade, ECM could do no wrong.

I remember going to Philadelphia to Gino Wong's record store in the 80's to pick up this Cacciapaglia LP.

This Roberto Cacciapaglia is gorgeous. 🎹

Mornin!

I never thought I'd see that LP reissued on CD. But it was - with bonus tracks! 💙

Good morning, Andy.

Sonanze has bonus tracks? Cool!

Primus is playing at the met tonight

Doing a primus set and then Rush tribute

I'm unaware as usual. Thanks for alerting the others, dude.

We tailgated the end of Primus concert last week in Asbury Pk. Heard the rumblings of Southbound Pachyderm & some solos during encores. Then it was Gene Wilder over the PA saying goodnight via pure imagination....

Ha we'll get you out one day Dave! And damn yeah just tailgating sounds fun, did that with willy Nelson at the Mann recently. Idk if tailgating the Met would work though

"I'm busy that day", as Mr. M would no doubt have said.

Ya they are doing a full lp cover of Rush "Farewell to Kings" this tour. 1st set Primus hits and rarities and cool segues etc. 2nd set Rush Kings lp. Encores multiple.

setlist dot fm has the stats. Been checking that out.

The Met is a beautiful venue with great acoustics. I hope to get back there in 2022.

97 sounds like a reissue date on the Steve Vai. I think that was orig released early 90s?

You are correct, Brian. I get mixed up a lot. Plus they use this tiny tiny font on the CDs that I can barely read.

Spinitron actually got it right 1990 i see.

For a change, yeah. Usually it defaults to some random rerelease date.

Like this Djam Karet for example.

Out out djam karet spot....

Sounds like Spinitron makes a lot of work for the DJs; having to double-check it like you're babysitting a drunk pixie. 🧚‍♀️

We generally do not obsess over these dates. It ultimately doesn't matter a whole lot.

It actually makes things easier when it prepopulates the fields.

It takes much more time adding descriptions and photos.

Those two features are often the best part of the playlist, imo. Like the side-by-side of the galaxy and hurricane.

🙏. I like to see those added details, too. Puts the music in better perspective.

Better context I should say.

Yes Dave, Deirdre, Jon Sol, LizBot, Paxn Rosasolis and many others have some great eye candy in chat

This 1980 FZ band & release really just so cool. Loved when this came out (2007 ... ahem Spinitron)

Just some great interplay . Really listening to each other it seems

Yeah, the 1980 tour is the ONE time I managed to attend Zappa's concert.

Sometime during late October or early November, I'm planning to air a 3-hour survey of "Zeuhl".

Magma, and all the twisted groups they spawned.

Excelent, looking forward to that one!

Good morning, Bud. Hopefully I'll include stuff you aren't already familiar with.

Honestly, my Zeuhl knowledge is pretty slim once you get past Magma.

There's a lot of dreck, but plenty of gems too.

As MrM 💀 would lament, final 10 minutes? I'm cry

I only my show didn't give him such a headache...😞

Thanks for enlightening us for 3 hours, always a pleasure listening tour shows

Thank you, Kentman. Positive feedback means a lot to us.

Ya it's been a time. Great show. Have a great weekend everyone!

🙏 Dave the Obscure, excellent show as usual today. 💯 It's always a mind-expanding, educational experience.

DJ DaveTheObscure, thoroughly enjoyed your show even during my annoying headache that started hours earlier!?! Many thanks and kind regards to you! Cheers!

Chat with ya laters, Christine!

Thanks for listening, and for all your kind words in the chat. Stay tuned to ‘PRB for 🏃🚦Running Redlights with Jen.
