Chaos. Sometimes leaving things up to chance is a good thing. This time out, I combine a full-library shuffle with me checking what’s playing at random times. The result? Judge for yourself in this uninterrupted, mixed flow.

Strap in for another uninterrupted flow from the New-ish queue. There’s a pretty deep, drone-packed stretch from around 15 minutes in to just shy of 45 minutes.  You know, to give your brain some time off. Enjoy.

For the first show of the new year, we’re sticking to some new-ish music. There’s a pretty broad range of sounds here, and the ride takes us into some upbeat analog territories. Plus, it’s uninterrupted! Enjoy.

Here comes your look back at albums that stuck with me as we went through 2017. From the stuff I reviewed in the first half of the year to things I received after I stopped reviewing…it’s all very good music, and we’ll take in almost two hours of it. Enjoy.

Since you all did a fine job of surviving last episode’s dark and murky spaces, I’ll reward you with lighter, brighter tones. There’s quite a bit of guitar in the front half.

(Clever me, originally putting all those ampersands in between the artist names. Well, turns out that screwed up the RSS feed. So, after the episode posted I have to switch them all to “and.”)
