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.

Episode 457

The ride this time opens with some New Age/contemporary instrumental style loveliness from the Holding Tanks, eventually finding its way into a territory lightly laced with a bit of funkiness because sometimes that’s how we roll. A talky bit, then it’s off to the cool comforts of the library where we start with a powerhouse combo of song and album titles. (Plus, the music’s good, too.)

*Oops, have this in my system as “Hand of Glory.” Might be that I’ve been reading Charles Stross’ “The Laundry” series, where the hero often uses a mummified pigeon foot called the hand of glory.

Episode 439

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.

Episode 406

Settle in. I want to tell you a story….a mystery, really, about The Albums That Went Missing. Oh, it’ll mystify you and maybe bring a chill to your soul, but in the end it turns into 90 really good minutes of music. Ready to hear the tale?
