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.

Episode 393

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.

Episode 388

A lazy podcast, but with a purpose! I saw that in adding to my “Tracks to Play” doc I had noted several that were fairly long. So I decided to lump them together. There are only five, and as tends to be the case with long tracks, this episode runs pretty quiet.

Episode 383

’round about midstream, this flow decided it might like to be at least a little lazy. Pulled up at eight nice, deep tracks and we keep things mostly on the quiet side. Probably for the best since we’ve got a big party coming soon…

Episode 381

Holding Tanks 1 and 2 continue to drain even as I fill Tank 3, and the result is an interesting flow that weighs a bit heavily on the dark, quiet side. Some of this music has sat waiting for me to get to it for a year or so — but thankfully, good music doesn’t have an expiration date. Dig in and enjoy.
