Episode 470

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…

Episode 467

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.

Hiding in here we’ve got music inspired by a novel, music that started with a harp in a tree, and music used in a healing ceremony for a loved one. Do I have your attention?

Episode 422

Back into the tanks we go for some spacey drifts, downright hypnotic piano, one amazing song title, and…a cover tune? Don’t look at the playlist before you listen–I think you’ll get a kick out of what it is. (And it’s definitely jazzier than you remember!) Let’s go.

Episode 409

This one’s kinda sorta not really got a theme. I won’t mention it here, so as not to spoil the oh-so-clever opening bit. (Were you around when oh-so-clever opening bits were much more of a thing here? Say hi in the comments if you were!) Away we go.

Episode 398

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.

Half a dozen from the Holding Tanks before we take a lengthy dip into the library stacks. Second set goes a little bit of everywhere, and has one of those artists who just happens to nail both song AND album title of the episode! Enjoy the ride.

Episode 389

After an episode with just a handful (literally) of tracks, let me toss a bit more than a dozen at you this time around. As a bonus treat, I mangle some Italian, reference Nikki Minaj, put you on hold at least once, and may or may not speak two words of Galician. If you’re new here…heh.

*This is a streaming-only release. As a general rule, I don’t link to said streams because of the way they treat artists. Although this artist has made the choice to not have the album available for download or purchase, I’m sticking to my guns here. The link in the playlist points to his website, from which you can decide how to proceed if the music interests you.
