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.

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?)

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.

Episode 493

None of the following artists dropped out of the Freedom 250 concert. I mean, they weren’t asked, but if they had been they might have said “No thanks, I’m already on Hypnagogue 493.” Funky voyages, primal spaces, and meditative passages await. Enjoy.

This one’s all over the place, but you’ve come to expect that by now. A few dips into the new stuff, but for the most part we root around on the deep shelves of the library and come away with some nice sounds. Enjoy.

Quick story for you, related to the opening bit. In the 80s, I was somewhat renowned, among people who knew me, for my answering machine messages. As you might imagine, some of them were pretty heavily produced, always scripted, sometimes had background music, and more often than not were very silly. My friends would actually get mad at me if I answered the phone because they didn’t get to hear my latest marvel. Often I’d have to hang up, let them call back, wait for the message to play out, then pick up after the beep!
