	♥ 7:35pm Carmichael: These guys are Norwegian? Never heard of 'em, but sounding great!
	7:35pm ?: ↳ Song: "In Taberna" by "Wobbler" That opening sounded like a piece from Steve Hackett's "Please Don't Touch"

	♥ 7:35pm maestroso: ↳ Song: "In Taberna" by "Wobbler" Oh man, this is good stuff.

	🤯 ♥ 7:40pm tim: To make things really complicated, Sunn o))) were Earth worshipers and got the amp worship from Sleep who worshiped Orange amps.
	7:40pm erik-O-vert: ↳ Song: "Inanaki" by "Wha-Ha-Ha" Wha Ha Ha was a frequent WFMU spin back in the 80s. Absolutely top all-time favorite Japanese (or any!) groups. All their recordings (2 albums and a Dub Ep) are Highly Recommended!
	7:41pm Troy: ↳ tim @7:40 Ha! Orange amps look & sound pretty great.
	🤯 ♥ 7:41pm tim: ↳ Song: "In Taberna" by "Wobbler" You’re right, Dave. This song pulls out all the prod stops.

	7:56pm Jackie G: ↳ Song: "Walk Around the World" by "Adrian Belew" We loves us some Adrian Belew in all flavors.
	🤯 ♥ 7:56pm bleubombersune: Dave superb hour of prog, all stay safe and be well
