Episode 109. mp3. cue. Released March 6, 2009. So maybe ‘world’ music would be more descriptive, but what comparably lame puns could be made with that? … I rest my case. And anyway, why would the traditional music of British and Americans be called folk and that of Nicaraguans be called worldbeat? That’s not exactly [...]
The first 2 episodes of the year condensed to fit on one mix cd; presented in mp3 with a cue file to help you burn it. Yay! And apologies to the songs that didn’t make the cut. I may make this a tradition if I can actually get around to making at least 2 new [...]
I started this tradition last year, though someone else started it first a couple years ago and continues it. It’s a neat way to sum up a year of music: 100 great songs by 100 different artists. If you’re a regular listener you’ve probably already heard almost all of them but this is a chance [...]
Episode 108. mp3. cue. Released January 17, 2009. Continuing right where we left off, 80s tinged synthpop gives way to strangely catchy psychedelic folkpop, and it all caps off with an opulent synthesizer soundtrack finish. Cut Copy / Lights And Music / In Ghost Colours (2008) The Source / You Got The Love (feat. Candi [...]
Episode 107. mp3. cue. Released January 01, 2009. The first episode of 2009 and the first episode featuring brand new fractionized length! Content-wise wes is tying up some loose ends of 2008. And you know when the last episode is all dancing and electronics that you’re soon due for some REAL pounding drums and some [...]
As a gift for all of y’all my glorious listeners, this Christmas Eve I am officially announcing that I’m gonna cease with the 2 hour radio showpisodes, because i don’t think anyone really wants to spend that much time listening to the same thing. As of Jan 1st, or whenever the first new episode is [...]
Episode 106. mp3. cue. Released December 19, 2008 So a new computer and the semi-annual end of term procrastinator-punishment-derby may have contributed to this most unprecedented of podcast interims. But fuck that. Cause now it’s up! This guy is my sham summer within this dullest of seasons… you will find blissed out psychedelia, hard-hitting dub [...]
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. 3 years ago 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 it out to a full-on sequel. So here it is! This is [...]
