1st Recherché of the Fall Season...from the home studio...welcome righteous ones!

Happy Fall Season Readie! I need to listen to more of the Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross scores, every time I hear them my ears perk up

Hi DSM, Yes, I just recently discovered the scores.

Aloooooooooooooooooooooooooooha

TAndy! hiya!

although I shudder at the idea of being "righteous" I hope to listen while watching the US Open men's semifinals. "righteous is just fraught with subjective moral implications and judgements that I only vaguely understand. It's all good, I guess... or bad Djokovic is a thrill to behold.

As I read you comment, David F- a thunderclap - won't read into it!

sun is shining and it's raining and thunder, et cetera

all weather all the time

all the weather all at once

yes, DSM, all in a moment's time

I got some really huge raindrops earlier..

much more than a pitter-patter...right!

TAndy, I heard a rumor you're on vacation?

Yes'm!

very nice!! how is it!

Very relaxing! Also this Abriction album kicks butt, one of my favorite drops this yar

glad you like it, and I agree wholeheartedly!

Hey TAndy. The California talk in last nights sludge chat has me plotting a visit myself

honestly the taco truck talk is most of the inspiration lol

I wish I was spening more than one day in socal so I could go to that donus shop mentioned in Jen's chat

Not sure which one she mentioned, but the mom and pop donut shops of LA are soooo good compared to Dunkin

I've been California dreaming for a while now. We're going to the Central Coast in the Spring for a Big Sur and Redwood thing if nature cooperates.

i think anything is better than dunkin lol

I signed in am listening to vapor king

cool low key

Hey Suki! Welcome to the chat! glad you like it!

laid back kinda ambient

Got a Suki Rae coming up next, righteous chatters!

*track*

Glad to have you in the chat, Suki - to celebrate "Slice of Moon" drop today!

Nice

@Suki- yeah - 1st set has a bit of ambience - as a rule!

Hey y’all!

Hi Addie! welcome !!!

So happy to be here! How was everyone’s week?

Lovely <3

BAMMMMM

Great love song!

Happy Friday, Readie! Kathy and I are soaking up the Righteous vibes while we can. Heading to the botanical gardens for concert and beer tasting in a bit, so we’ll just be catching the first act.

Hey Chef!!!! Bamalangading!

wow....wild

Jeff- Great to have you and Kathy for as long as you can, midwesterners!!!!

Suki on flute as well in this one- beautiful!

Congrats on the drop, Suki!!!

Hmm...thanks so much Readie Righteous

Where can we find the album, @Suki?

Really appreciate your playing the song....

My pleasure- been playing the singles...can't wait to hear the album!

This is one of the three big singles from " A Slice of Moon dropped today on Spotify,bandcamp(can be purchased there) and all major platforms.

Thanks, Suki!

This is really fun...Readie is the best hostess with the mostest...

Aww thanks, Suki! this is the funnest gig!

Great to drop by to hear some of these sounds emanating from outer realms...

Suki, sounds great!

Hey Addie!

Thanks so much DSM....wonder what that stands for....Don't Silence Me?

Don't Sing More?

I think the storms have passed. I thought I might lose electricity.

This past week our "Barge" -satellite studio flooded, hence the saga,@Suki - to catch you up!

Lots of electricity coming' on the air waves...feel like dancin'

lol, just my name, but open to (mostly) any variations

I actually don't know, what DSM stands for!!! LOL!

Oy so sorry to hear the Barge was flooded....

Yeah, we hope to be back SOOOOON!

Great song , Suki. I've been hearing that theme a lot lately. I think a Tyler Childers song.

Dancing is encouraged on Recherché, and singing along of course!

sounds Bowie-esque almost

Hi DSM! What’s new?

Happy to hear you’ve had a good vacation week, TAndy!

Good afternoon everyone!

@Suki- this Takahashi?

Hi Rob from Maryland!!

Honestly not too much Addie, but in a good way! Hey Rob!

Hiya Rob!

Addie how was work this week?

Takahashi is this now Prince Buster?

Suki- Prince Buster comes up in a later set...with all ska!

This is Chumbawamba one of my all-time fave bands!

Hi DSM, Readie, Addie!

I'm slow on the playlist update, Suki - sorry ! I'm a slacker...lol

ah...certainly eclectic...

ah...yes....love de ole chaps..

Pretty Paul..

@readie ended with a bang! You wouldn’t think an ear nose and throat office would be so full of excitement!

Freeform all the way- 😉😉

There are two American Flamingos near Chambersburg PA, less than 2 hours from my house. I almost went to look for them today, but I didn't. Maybe I'll go Sunday.

These birds and many other flamingos in the east were brought north by winds associated with Hurricane Idalia.

Car repair shop drama for me this week...it's been a week!

Glad you made it through, Addie!

Ooo, that would be super cool to see, Rob! How do you find out about such things?

Flamingos on OBX and even Ohio. It's wild...

Yikes, what happened, Readie? (My car's AC needed to be fixed and that took 4 days, so I can relate)

I’m loving every minute of it, Readie!

13 flamingos in the Outer Banks, in one place. That's just a little far for me even if there are 13 and not 2

Great to stop by Readie...thanks for the memories da da da da...on my merry way...until Niagara Falls...

My sister just left for OBX today. hopefully Lee goes north and misses the coast.

@Rob from M- Struts, Serpentine belt....

you are the best and I greatly appreciate everything you've done...rock on!

Thanks for stopping, Suki! Congrats on "Slice of Moon" dropping today!!

i wanna hear Swirlies momm

@Addie, many sources. A thread on https://forums.whatbird.com/ about really unusual sightings across the country. For areas close to me, county- or state-level rare bird alerts via eBird.org/alerts (type in the county or state), word of mouth, and a groupme local group that I just joined.

@David F, there is just about every indication that Lee will miss the southeast and mid-Atlantic coast, so your sister should be ok

@Readie, those belts shouldn't be strutting ...

Hello Suki Rae

Most reports say these Flamingos come from the Yucatán peninsula. Caribbean Flamingos.

@zeroo, me too!

Ahoy Mateys!

@David F, yes. They were brought north by winds/steering currents associated with Hurricane Idalia, which originated near the Yucatan Peninsula before heading to Florida

Nice faint rainbow forming in Bucks Co here. Just heard about the flamingos stories yesterday on the Googly news. Crazy. Apparently not uncommon birds being redirected hundreds of miles due to storms. And they pretty much make their way back to their main habitat after their rerouting. It may take a bit but they just have that gps homing instinct

Lots in Florida too. Let's hope they stay. They were hunted to near extinction here .

@David F, one of the flamingos now in the US was color-banded in the Yucatan with a unique combination and maybe a band with a bird-specific number that can be read through binoculars and telescopes

Hello Matthew M!

Other crazy story I heard is the guy who keeps getting rescued by the Coast Guard when he builds these floating hamster wheel contraptions and tries to travel across the Atlantic Ocean. By running inside the wheel to power it.... can't make it up. Latest story he was trying to travel from Florida to Europe.

what a birdbrain!

@Brian D, I read about Hamster Man, and his threats to kill himself with the knives he claims to have with him

Yes that too. And he has dvd to play movie on wheel yes

Hamster Man would run smack into Hurricane Lee and that would be the end of him

cl....imate change ya say/? Sal..ami rose joe l.ouis

I missed the part about dvds. Does he have Rocky Horror Picture Show or Mad Max?

metaphor?

Coast Guard always try to stop me. People get on boat no problem. I get on wheel they stop me... The latest time the Coast Guard was like dude...there's a HURRICANE. Guy was oblivious.

🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 i sawr a finities rainbow

This one wants to be a double rainbow ya. The main one is pretty strong. The outer double is faint and incomplete

i wasnt invited was i oops

Usually the ones we get are like that. One strong, double there but faint

i'l..l.. uh,,,

put on swirl..i.es n tak,,e a dip

Hi Matthew, zeroo!

And another time the floating hamster wheel man was on the water and the wheel tipped over on the side. Coast Guard got a ping signal from him for rescue. Hamster man sez... oh I send signal by accident ya

@Rob from Maryland- Suki had to leave us...but- yeah those struts...it's apparently a big deal to install those babies in the rear of a rag top!

Hamster Man story with good picture: https://www.npr.org/2023/09/07/1198252469/coast-guard-hamster-wheel-reza-baluchi-atlantic-ocean

I hope it all holds together! THey had to keep her overnight - I get a little worried about her away from home unexpectedly!

That is hilarious!

It reads like a fake story in parts but it seems to be true. His dialogue seems so written but I guess not...

Godspeed, Hamster Man! I hope he makes it some day!

Right. You'd think The Onion was involved....

They got him for conducting a "manifestly unsafe voyage", and it's too bad they didn't catch the submersible to the Titanic before its tragic implosion!

Readie, I hope your car comes home tomorrow all healthy

I'm rooting for him too!

Thanks Rob! she's got over 125K on her and still going...

You like drivin' around with the ragtop down?

@David F- whenever weather and temps cooperate...

Well... he threatened the Coast Guard with bombs (which he said later were not real) and rescues estimate about $140,000 each. So maybe he should stay home or in "a home"

Oh yikes, that’s a big price tag, DSM!

a Miss Ohio... Orwell said "On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good and not quite all the time"

I love how this is not the first time heh... several interactions before. And his running across the country and back Gump style allegedly (more than once allegedly plus infinity). Coast guard one time is like "Where are you going? Hamster dude: "New York. Guard: "Did you start on a bigger vessel (thinking this guy must have LEFT a bigger boat on this pod contraption like a sane person would think...). Hamster man: "Huh?" One of my fave stories of late heh heh

@Brian D- thanks for the update- I knew way too little about this story!! (good evening to you, btw)

Flotsam and Jetsam....

We were just down in Ocean Grove for 5-6 days. Thought of you. Hanging under the boards in the shade. Toes in sand.

@Brian D- oh wow! Cool- we missed each other by a couple of weeks! I stayed on the oceanfront this time.

Hi Readie Rainbow

I booked last minute for an impromptu visit, so my room had a view of a wall...but I was out most of the time!

Welcome Ossy!! how are you doing?

Great!! With these unique sounds!

We got so lucky w/great sunny days the whole lot. And that breezy, 10-15 degrees cooler effect is great too

Cool, Ossy!!! glad you're digging it!

One Sunday evening on Wide Wonderful World of Butter in July, saw a rainbow after a heavy storm and gazed for minutes!!

@Brian D- very good - while I was there- there was more controversy about the cross-shaped pier and the closing of the beach on Sunday mornings....

I love the shore after Labor Day. Soon, the ducks return! More birds than people is just right for me.

@Ossy- I do the same thing! gazing is the only way!!!

@David F- for sure - after Labor Day is when I sometimes go- this year I may do a repeat trip to the Poconos...

Love the autumn up there.

Went to World's End in the Endless Mountains last year..

I used to think a pot of gold existed, whenever I saw a rainbow in the kid days

@David F- where are the Endless Mtns?

@Ossy- that's cute- like Lucky Charms!

it's a region a bit west of the Poconos

Hey! It's the Raincoats!! :-D

@David F- never been! I usually head to the Poconos, because I can usually connect with my brother and friends from the hometown!

Love some Hank!

Bucket fits into the Barge saga lol

Hi Readie and Righteous chatters!!..Late to the partay because of some interesting weather here in Bucks County...

Traveling along US 6 up there is always nice. and if you head further west to Pine Creek Gorge (the PA Grand Canyon) it's almost heaven.

Readie - And tried setting an adventure with peers to find the pot of gold, LOOOOL

Heya Alan!

Hey Alan! Did you get the severe weather we New Jerseyans were promised???

Hi Addie!!! S&S Ssssssssss!

@ Ossy - 😂😂

The snakes hiss their greetings as well!

Readie: Yes, "Thunderbolts and Lightning, Very very Frightening Mama Mia Mama Mia"...

@David F- sounds like Heaven! Have you been to Fallingwater in the Laurel Highlands? (way west)

...checking to see if Brian may wrote that...

Bo Rhap is Freddie all the way, @Alan

No Laurel Highlands the the house that Frank built are on my list though.

But really, you know, Alan, it's almost always everyone writing with Queen

Freddie's Cadillac sold for two Million this week...

@David F- I encourage it! Amazing!

Whoa... 2 million dollars or pounds?

Readie: Dunno, sometimes I listen to BBC and I doze off...

DBT are so good. Ohiopyle is my most wanted of the State Parks I haven't been to yet.

CONGRATULATIONS!!

My guess is if it was a BBC presenter, it was probably pounds...

Ohiopyle is great...it is my dream to have a home built ito the natural landscape...a stream under the living room...on top of a waterfall- whoa...

I think it's Frank's masterpiece.

Agree, David

Pa has amazing state parks. Not as good as CA but really nice.

Reade: With Hurricane Lee intensifying, let's hope that everyone here doesn't get a stream below their living room LOL

@Alan - of course - extremes of weather are here to stay!

We went to Big Basin in 2017 but it burned down in 2020 or 2021. There are some amazing sea birds that nest high in the trees there.

Readie: "The Universe is Not required to be in harmony with human ambitions"...

- Carl Sagan.

But you have to see the way the steps in the Fallingwater Living Room lead right down to the stream...it's miraculous...

I like that, Alan

Readie: But there was once a day when I went down the stairs to a 6 inch pool... It was hurricane Gloria..

( But don't get me wrong, we really needed the rain today)

@Alan- that's awful - must've been horrible!

@Alan, the vast majority of modeling has Hurricane Lee missing the US. So I don't think anyone (except maybe possibly in New England) is going to have a stream below their living room

Readie: Not horrible, I reserve that for other things, just troublesome..

Hi Rob!!! Possible high waves at the beach, rip currents, so look out for that...Please!!

@Alan, Hurricane Gloria lightly flooded one room in the basement of the house I was living in in DC, from a brief heavy downburst. The center of the storm hugged the Maryland, Delaware, and New Jersey coastlines as it passed to the northeast.

we generally seek stability but weather and climate are chaotic systems that are unpredictable.

@Alan, Oh, I will look out for the water at the beach (though I don't think I'll be heading that far from DC)! You be safe too!

Rob: It was a defective drainage system that I fixed after that.... No Prob!

I guess that's why we find them so scary and intriguing.

Murderer still on the loose near Longwood Gardens

David: So many times I used to sit outside with my Dad watching Lightning bolts as a storm came in...went inside just in time..

@Alan, phew! I was the only person home during the daytime flooding from Gloria. I was able to mop it up pretty quickly

@David, are they still playing the recording of his mother's voice urging him to surrender from the copters?

Readie: With all this vegetation, It's nearly impossible to use Infrared Imaging cameras to find that guy...

oh I don't know Readie.. i was out that way today though and it kept crossing my mind.

@Alan- they're still playing the voice recording - hoping he'll hear it !!!

@David F- I'd have it on my mind too...did you see the vid of him crab-walking up the walls to escape?

I did. He has some moves...

The only way to get the guy for sure is if he gets hit by Lightning!..."The problem is not that we have all these idiots running around, the problem is that Lightning is Improperly Distrubuted" - Mark Twain

and nothing to lose I guess.

Yet the barge will riiiise to the top

THE CREAM OF THE CROP

I love X (twitter) and Elon. He will not let his Starlink be used for war and offense but only for defense. War sucks. It needs to stop.

@TAndy oh YEAH! 👏 🫶 🙌

lol, Alan. Twain was a genius.

Yeah, love that Twain quote, Alan

" The funniest thing is the truth" _Twain

arriving at the truth is quite a journey sometimes. So much static.

this is great. I've never heard Prince Buster.

Glad you like this, David F - this is the classic, "Al Capone"

Me neither David!

the human guira!

This "Don't throw" song was used as the theme song for the Brit Com "Coupling" but by another artist https://www.google.com/search?q=TV+series+British+Comedy+Coupling+theme+song&sca_esv=563870670&sxsrf=AB5stBirWxXVMAbiifa6vARRiyQ_h29lcQ%3A1694216700711&ei=_LH7ZMmKK-OlptQP866C0AI&ved=0ahUKEwjJ-PiEmZyBAxXjkokEHXOXACoQ4dUDCA4&uact=5&oq=TV+series+British+Comedy+Coupling+theme+song&gs_lp=Egxnd3Mtd2l6LXNlcnAiLFRWIHNlcmllcyBCcml0aXNoIENvbWVkeSBDb3VwbGluZyB0aGVtZSBzb25nMgUQIRirAkjJOFClE1j2M3ABeAGQAQCYA

I actually watched every series of Coupling. It was good. I remember that song in every episode.

David: Same here..

David: one of my fave episodes is when one of the guys has to go to a sperm bank, and it gets real compicated..

...with the help of his "freinds" LOL

Is Coupling still streaming anywhere? I missed that one!

I love some BBC. Yes Alan, it got a bit awkward a lot.

I dunno, but it was great because only the Brits could frame that topic in such a funny way..

Acorn TV has a lot of good stuff, mostly detective and crime, but Doc Martin too...

David: Yes the later episodes could get that way...

Thank you very much for the show, DJ Readie Righteous 😎

Thank you, Readie . Another great show.

You are welcome, David F and TAndy, et alia! Thanks so much for hangin' out !

Thanks to everyone!

Thanks for the show Readie, even tho i was late because of ⚡⚡⚡. Be safe! ☮️ bcnu!

You be safe too Alan- C ya!

Stay butter, rainbow! :)

stay smooooth, Ossy!
