No stops on this one, even when we roll into unusual territory. For the most part things stay quiet, with bits here and there to make sure you’re still with us.

Resisting the urge to do the obvious theme show, I instead opted to take you deep into the Holding Tank again. We kick off with some beats, wind down to drifts, and get a bit acoustic on the back half. There’s a quick stop in the middle, just to irk some listeners and see who sticks around. ;-)
Took a look at the Holding Tanks and the download queue and made an Executive Decision: time to go back to focusing on all the good new stuff I’ve had coming in over the last few months. You haven’t seen the last of the library, but we’ll close those doors for a bit. I promise you won’t mind much.

*The album was sent to me with no title, so at the time of recording I figured it was self-titled. On the release day of the podcast, the artist got back to me with the actual title, Inferno.
We’re off to a slick start with some smooth sax and sliding our way down into some drifty grooves. Then we’re off to the library to visit some old friends. (One going back to ’05!)
A smooth blend of styles, kicking off with some sequencery goodness and primal grooves. Another of the Forgotten starts the second set, and we’ll get downright homey before it’s through. Enjoy.
Maybe you’ve been here for a lazy podcast before–but you’ve never been here for one this lazy. Nothing’s under 25 minutes. Four cuts that run mighty, mighty deep. Drift on, my friends, and I’ll chat with you in about 103 minutes.

Now that the birthday party fervor has died down, we can get back to checking out new music for a bit. Then it’s into the library, beginning with a kind of new and possibly recurring segment…
Time to wrap up year 13 with a nice, longer-than-normal dive into the library to celebrate the music that’s kept me going (and kept you coming back) all this time. My genuine thanks go out to all the musicians and labels who’ve kept the show fed with delicious music all this time, and to all the listeners who’ve kept my ego fed just by being here. Let’s get the party started.

*It appears the artist has removed this album. However, if you like what you heard, hit their Bandcamp page (in the link) and check out their other work. **Most of Giles’ early albums are not readily available for download. You can find them for sale on various sites. As a rule, I do not link to those types of sites as the artist may not directly benefit. Also, check out his new work with Tony Gerber.
Oh, heck, you know the drill. There’s a bunch of great music to soothe your noggin and then some guy blabs in your ear for a bit. If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t keep coming back! (So thank you for coming back.)
