For one reason or another Autumn is the season that resonates most for many people. Leaves go from smooth green to crinkled red husks. Coats and mitts must be dug out from closets as breaths begin to show. Lives must be dug up and moved as students are forced out of their summer solitude, leave […]
Episode 105. mp3. cue. Released October 29, 2008
Starts sparse and wisftul with acoustic and electronic turns, then it hip hops, then it gets down and dirty out in the countryside and town. I would say this episode can generally be described as gritty but still captures a wide array of different sounds. I would […]
There is no originality in the world.
Almost exactly 3 years ago (jesus!) in honor of a special Halloween party called Valloween I made a mix CD based on a radio playlist. I was never totally satisfied with it, and always intended to remake it. Eventually I decided there was enough material to just stretch […]
Episode 104. mp3. cue. Released September 13, 2008
Hellohihey.. time for some more MUSIC. This baby is muchamore synthesized than the last episode. It starts out tempered and dreamy, then layers on serious doses of funk. Then it scurries around the world, goes into the future and has a little apocalypse (albeit a fairly […]
It’s been a while, but things are percolating nicely; have no fear! I realized yesterday that the real reason I was being so sloppy at actually getting the next show done was somewhere in my subconscious I was waiting for TV on the Radio’s Dear Science to leak before I carried on with things. […]
Episode 103. mp3. cue. Released August 07, 2008
Maybe we’re getting into a bit of a groove with the long delays. I apologize. But hopefully you shan’t be disappointed with the wait. Hopefully the wait will even be seen to have been well worth it? This one starts off in the sun in the country […]
If there’s one thing Valerie doesn’t like, it’s driving in the car with measured or meandering music blaring outta tha speakers. This mix CD was designed expressly to neutralize such occurences. Mixed and beaten from only the most energetic of ingredients, this delightful musical confection will surely stir you to “dance-action”(tm)! Balls to the […]
Episode 102. mp3. cue. Released June 29, 2008
I know, I know… it’s been an awful long while. I have my reasons of course, but you’ll have to listen to find out. At any rate, this episode focuses on slow, beautiful experimental and modern classical works at first and then settles into ambience and summer […]
Episode 101. mp3. cue. Released May 19, 2008
What better way to spend my birthday than slaving away in the basement on my podcast, with an ear infection? That was a rhetorical question! But it’s sweet. y’all… some melty, spacey, stuff after the git go, then it all goes south. What does that […]
Episode 100. mp3. cue. Released April 29, 2008
This is a centennial celebration of sorts. If to you an episode is a year… at any rate… one hundred 2-3 hour episodes ago, the little radio slipstream breathed its first breath. Of course if you consider that was 40 months ago, that’s not extremely impressive. […]
Episode 99. mp3. cue. Released April 9, 2008
Another one for y’all, finally. This puppy starts off drenched in 80s synths and melodrama, shakes that off at a circus and then wanders around in seasons of languid acoustics before briefly assaulting a cowboy.
Kate Bush / Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God) / The […]
I’ve been running a bit late with the show for this week. Well, for this 3 weeks I suppose. I got a little overzealous in my song selection period, and left the actual making of the show a bit late. The tracklist is almost finalized, though. So expect to see it very soon. […]
Episode 98. mp3. cue. Released March 17, 2008
Apologies for the delay… working 8.5 hour days really reduces the amount of time I have to comb through old music and listen to new tunes and carefully (+ocd-ishly) arrange them into podcast playlists. Don’t you wish I was still a bum? At any rate, until […]
4 entirely sweet episodes from late 2007/early 2008 condensed to fit onto 80 minute CDRs
a fairly spectacular nonstop groove-a-thon with some sultry, slamming and serious synthbeats from the greatest in house, techno, breaks, and more.
Episode 96. Released February 2, 2008
Back into the swing of things! As per Mr Normal, a delectable selection of that what’s been making my ears dream. Chilled electronica to danceybits to quirky poky pop and mellowed out epics, with a bit of dirt (delicious dirt!) tossed on the tail end.

Episode 95. Released January 22, 2008
Radio Slipstream counts down what it sees as the best albums of 2007! The tip top of my top albums of 2007 list that was fiddled with constantly throughout the year (and in its entirety went up to 280…uhps). Sure it’s a bit late, but that just means it’s more […]
I’m running a bit late with my top albums of 2007 podcast, I know. Mostly because I’m being OCD about it and cramming in relistenings to as many albums as I can.. new and old and oft-heard already… you know, just so I can be sure of my rankings. POINTLESSS. BUT! When […]
A little look ahead at what I have to look forward to in the coming 12 months, musically
Episode 94. Released December 22, 2007
[NOTE: As of Jan 3, 2008, the mp3 has been fixed so it is no longer full of blips and artifacts]
This one’s got a flow, yo! Bit of a counterpoint to the pop and rocking of the last episode… Starting electronic with some ambient and spacey stuff, then into some […]
