It’s 50/50 time again with cuts from the Holding Tanks and the library. There’s some jazzy prog rock on the menu and, in fact, we end up (again, really?) looking off into the slightly foreign realm known as the Valley of Jazz. Enjoy.

*Said “August” because, looking at the track list that got brought into iTunes, that’s what it says. But when you port the track into Audacity, it reads “Augustin” which, according to Bandcamp, is correct. Did it make a difference to your enjoyment of the track? No, it did not.

Aside from having two strong contenders for song title of the episode, whatcha got here is a dozen tracks of goodness. We’ll start off a bit quietly and see where it goes from there.

It’s a 50/50 ride this time as we split the voyage between the tanks and the library. And what usually comes out of the library? That’s right: for the first time in 2025 we get An Artist John Forgot! Have a listen.
(And pardon the couple of Spotify links in the playlist if, like me, you don’t “do” that service. Sometimes a host’s gotta do what a host’s gotta do.)

Quite a few repeat guests on this episode, and it’s lovely to have them back! Plus, I treat one album like I’m including it for the first time–when I actually played it a scant four episodes ago. I’m all about attention to detail here. Cruise on, my friends.
