How shall we begin year 16? I thought maybe some really good music from the Holding Tanks was the way to go. I think you’ll agree. Enjoy.

And that’s a wrap on 15 years in production! The podcast turns 16 with a two-hour bash in the library and let me tell you, it’s a pretty eclectic blend. Thank you for listening, whether you’re first time or long time, and for indulging my frequent foolishness. Trust me, it comes from a place of pure joy in having the chance to share amazing music with you. All righty, let’s get the party started!

Who ordered 90 minutes of really good music? Was it you guys? Because I brought some. There’s a little post-rock, some clubby dance stuff, a spacey thing or two…you know what? Just crack it open and let’s dig it together.

Here’s another one that comes rippin’ out of the starting blocks! We’ll spend a good chunk of our time together digging around in the library to round out the voyage. And as it turns out, one of those people snuck under the radar. See my note below the playlist. Hold tight!

*I’ll be honest–I would have sworn I’ve played Andreas before, but the Giant Spreadsheet of Goodness says otherwise. I was so confident, in fact, that I didn’t realize it until I was plugging in links and was having a hard time finding one for this album (well, one that wasn’t Spotify…). Checked the sheet and….huh. And thus, with this realization, I hereby welcome Andreas to the ranks of Artists John Forgot!

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.
