Seems like lately I’ve wanted to start shows by helping you get your groove on. I’m trying not to picture you twirling and spinning around the living room, but I must say I’d be glad if you were. You take it easy on the pelvic movements there, Elvis. This ain’t that kind of place. Fair warning: I do wax a little rhapsodic for a couple minutes about a meaningful-to-me album at the end. You know there’s a “stop” button, right?

From powerful sonic medicine to jet-fueled sequencer rides to dreamy flute-borne drifts, this one takes you from the tanks to the library, where we find something that’s been tucked away on a shelf for…well, you’ll see. Enjoy.

Bust out those dancin’ shoes because this one kicks off firmly in the funk space. We’ll all settle down a bit after that and glide into a pretty mellow ride. I must have been feeling contemplative or something.

I’ve got a bunch of piano tracks I need to hand out, and then we’ll explore some other spaces. Gets a bit droney for a while, but I’ll bring you back up by the end. No stops, just goodness. Enjoy.

Kicking it off with some energy this time around, forging a path that lands at a comfy cafe somewhere in New Age Valley. And that’s just the first set! In the back end we’ll dig through a batch of recent compilations that will make it look like I’m shilling for one label. But we know better, right?

Once the first set tells its lovely story, I talk to you about it a little. Then we’re off again from a somewhat odd launching pad, headed into dark and quiet spaces.

A spacey start brings us in time to New Age Valley and the border of Jazzville (actually kind of the corner of Jazzville and Classicaltown) before heading back into some deep realms. The end of the voyage glides back into a contemporary instrumental zone and a bit of piano for a quiet landing. Have fun.

Back in the 160’s I did an episode where I gave artists I’d only played once a chance to be heard again. Now, through the miracle of science and the power of random number generation, we’re doing it again. A second chance for the second chance show! Enjoy the mix.

Your enjoyment of the music time shall be undisturbed by your host insisting on speaking with you mid-flow. No, you’re on your own as this wends through drifty spots, familiar names and sounds, some grungy guitar, and…one of those.

I have nothing clever or interesting to say about this episode. It’s 90 in the Holding Tanks with a talky bit in the middle. I will say that the latter half of it, though it starts a bit uptempo and quirky, settles into a quite warm and reflective space by the end. Must be the first hints of autumn making their presence known.
