Episode 418

The new stuff keeps flowing in this little jaunt. As is often the case, it goes a bit of everywhere and mellows right out at the end.

Episode 417

Oh, kids, this one’s got it all! Supergroups, weird titles, albums I got by mistake, strange and perhaps slightly discomforting songs, names I had to look up or ask how to pronounce, and at least one well-known artist I never thought would end up here. Curiosity piqued? Let’s flow.

Episode 416

If you’ve been here before, you know that the rule is that the flow dictates the show. So this one starts off fun and funky with an infectious track but in short order turns into something drifting and just a little bit lazy. As Vonnegut said, so it goes.

Episode 415

Music can get a little weird at times–ever notice that? Well, you might this time around. But it all flows and lightens across time, so that’s good, right? If nothing else, you get to hear your host apologetically mangle someone’s language for the umpteenth time. So worldly. Enjoy.

The quest to clear out the older stuff in the Holding Tanks continues! (But only for a bit.) I’ve also got fresher stuff to offer–and watch out for that track with lyrics. Hey, it happens.

Episode 413

The unfortunate reality is that sometimes, artists hang out in the Holding Tanks for a good long while–too long, in fact–waiting for me to get around to putting them into an episode. So this time out my goal is to try to clear out some long-lingering music and give these folks their due. Quite a mix of styles here, including an excursion to the border of smooth jazz, and in the back half I’ll treat you to two long drifts.

Even on my best days here I’m just making it up as I go, trying to find the way one piece rolls into the next to keep you immersed in the sound. So let’s do that again. Let’s see if I guessed correctly. Quick stop at the midway point to say hi.

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.
