Episode 407

I’ve been thinking that I should start titling my shows like some other more popular podcasts do. Like, ones that tie into a theme such as “Silent Messages of a Distant Past” or “The Space Between the Dark Stars.” Let’s try it, okay? Here’s this week’s program, “Good Music That I Feel at Least Reasonably Sure You’re Going to Enjoy.”
Yeah, I’m not good at that.

Settle in. I want to tell you a story….a mystery, really, about The Albums That Went Missing. Oh, it’ll mystify you and maybe bring a chill to your soul, but in the end it turns into 90 really good minutes of music. Ready to hear the tale?

Happy Leap Year Day! (Is that a thing?) From a very New Age kind of start (c’mon, we open with a Reiki thing) through pulsing funkiness to a quite quiet endpoint, this one’s pretty much what you’ve come to expect. (I hope that’s a good thing…)

It’s all Holding Tank this time through, bringing you quiet drifts, New Age-y tunes, a bit of chant, and more. Plus, it’s possible that I offend an artist.

What do you do when you’ve reached 400 podcast episodes? Keep going, I guess! We’ll stick to the Holding Tanks this time through and for the most part keep things a bit on the down-low. (That’s what the cool kids say, right? Humor me.) Off you go.

400? What’s up with that? Yes, your presumably favorite podcast has now happened 400 times, and we celebrate with an hour in the library and an hour of new stuff. (Plus, I indulge in a couple personal favorites!) Enjoy, and thank you for listening!

*Likely out of print. From the page I linked to you can get to a page about the album, which says it’s on Bandcamp, but it looks like it used to be and isn’t now. Discogs has it listed, but I don’t link to resellers.

New year, same old show. You know, the one that brings you nothing but the best ambient, electronic, and contemporary instrumental music and has that host who doesn’t seem to take this seriously? Yeah, that one. Ready for more of the same? Coolness. Let’s go.

Taking our leave of 2023, we do so in a manner most casual, stretching out, biding our time, meandering as one does, unrushed and–oh, who am I kidding? We’re getting lazy for the last show of the year, airing out some longer cuts that have been tucked into the Tracks to Play list for a while. Get comfy. This is a very deep non-stop ride. Thanks for coming along on the journey this year, whether you’re new around these parts or you’ve been here long enough to hear the hold music more than once. You are appreciated.
