Episode 507

Shuffle served up what I think is a pretty nice start to this one so for the most part I just let it pick. Some days this job is pretty easy. As you might imagine, this one goes a bit all over the place. Take the ride.

*This will bring you to a page for Equinox Deschanel, which is Joe’s stage name, apparently. Had no idea. It’s in my library under his name.
**Can’t find it for the life of me. I believe the artist switched to using his real name, but this album isn’t listed with the work on his Bandcamp page.

Episode 506

Would I lie to you? I told you last time that we’d be diving into the compilations folder to see what’s there. Look! I found 16 things! There’s even some jazzy prog rock. And will I mess up a title in Welsh? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Episode 505

Seems I’ve gotten into the whumpy-thumpy habit lately, since this one kicks off like that. But along the way we go to space and swing by New Age Valley, we grab a shot of neo-classical and then we come home. We’re so eclectic, you and I. Enjoy.

Episode 503

It’s getting tougher to find something interesting to say here. You already know you’re getting good music. That’s why you’re here! But let’s see…there’s some old-school-style tastiness, I get to say “whumpy-thumpy,” shuffle pulls a part-time shift, there’s a maybe mildly uncomfortable song title and also an album title I pronounce poorly, we spend 20 nice minutes with Mr. Roach, and you get extra music because something sounded nice. How’s that?

Episode 501

I told you I’d be back. And guess what? There’s music.
We’re starting this time with a short tribute to two musicians, long-time contributors to the show, who sadly passed in July. After that it’s new stuff until I stop finding things in the tanks that went well with the flow. So, two from the library close it out.

Episode 498

Who’s up for uptempo? And a flavoring of funk? And a nice view down into Jazz Valley? ‘Cuz that’s where we’re headed. Throwing in some post-rock for the ride as well. Toes, start tappin’!

Episode 497

Got some new music from some big names, so we’ll start there. After that, it’s a winding path from the tanks to the shelves. All in all, this one stays pretty quiet–with just a little energy here and there to keep you from dozing off. (If that was your intention, um..sorry?)

Episode 496

Spoiler alert: this ep has one of those. Beyond that it’s pretty quiet, goes back as far as 2005, and even gets a bit Floyd-ish … on purpose.

Episode 495

I know I tested your musical tolerance levels a bit with the last episode. None of that here. Just a break-free 90 minutes of old favorites and new names. Plus, perhaps the most “I’m just gonna say it” album title ever. Have fun.

Episode 494

To be honest, part of this episode isn’t for everyone. Gets a bit dark and droney and maybe a li’l rough. But that’s why science invented fast forwarding. If you make it through the full non-stop 90 without skipping, you may have a cookie.
