It’s been about a year since we last got lazy, so I figure it’s probably time. Half a dozen long tracks here, though I will warn you that the first one is a bit odd in spots. But I like it, so just…get odd with me. Taking off in 3…2…1……..

If I was you, I’d turn this off as soon as the music stops. I had a bit of a cold when I recorded the outro, which probably could have waited. But you’re 99% here for the music, right? And there’s a bunch of it, and none of it has a cold.

Okay, this time I’m actually shuffling the deck so you don’t know what’s new and what’s library unless you’re a good guesser. You get analog-style yumminess on this one, along with some metal-flaked post-rock, live performances, feel-good finger-snappers, and more.

*Out of print, far as I can tell. Available through resellers. **Well, on my copy it says “Cassidy,” but on the Bandcamp page it’s changed to “Fae.” ***Did I forget to mention this track in my outro? Yes, because I’m not actually good at this. And then I was too lazy and out of shits to give, quite honestly, to go back, cut in the mention, and then re-upload the file. Ever see a “-1” at the end of a filename here? (Those of you who download.) Those are the episodes where Johnny realized he’d screwed something up after he already uploaded, then had to redo and re-up. This time, sorry, Chris, I just didn’t bother. Also, I couldn’t find a link for it.
Skimming through the tanks one day, a pair of old-school-ish tracks caught my ear, so I decided to start there. After that, a quiet mood took over and I knew it was not the time to barge in and get all chatty on you. So we float, we glide, and we bring things back around in due time.
What’s in this episode? Oh, lots of new stuff, along with some remasters and re-imaginings, a single with a story, an album with a story, and…can you hit a curveball? ‘Cuz I’m throwing one.
*To no one’s surprise, I pronounced it wrong. It’s тої, pronounced “toy-ee.” It’s a Ukranian word meaning “that one.” I hear some podcast hosts do something called “research.” Sounds exhausting.
Since this happens to be dropping on Thanksgiving, I’ll say I’m thankful that you’re here to listen and that all these wonderful artists are kind enough to send me music to share. We’ll start our turkey day festivities in the library (and yes, there’s one of those…) and then, like that weird uncle who invites himself over, get tanked for a while–but more enjoyably so.
This is very much one of the episodes where we follow the motto “the flow dictates the show.” Which is why it winds its uninterrupted way toward some darkness at the end. Maybe the slow onset of New England winter is getting to me already…
