April 9th ShowNo show tonight, as I was returning from Ithaca and a visit to Cornell. More on that in later posts…
I finally post archives from shows over the last month and a half…enjoy!
For a number of reasons, I featured a few tracks from Rachel’s tonight, spanning the entirety of their oeuvre. Also, a couple tracks from Do Make Say Think who are playing at the Middle East Downstairs in Cambridge on Tuesday night. And, amiina is playing at the MFA on Saturday night, although tickets are sadly […]

Zion show, available (along with a number of other live shows) at archive.org . it’s natural to be afraid by Explosions in the Sky. all […]

What’s nice about this later slot is that I’m now free to play pieces that might, ahem, use foul language. Thank you, FCC! For those listening via podcast, there really isn’t any […]
New music from Explosions in the Sky tonight. Unfortunately I’m going to miss seeing them play, as the show is already sold out! Bollocks. Also! New from Jesu, Eluvium, and some really interesting improvisation from Mike Pride. A good friend of mine suggested that I listen to Tycho, but in the record library I instead […]
February 21st ShowNo show tonight…enjoy the day listening to the sounds of múm, sigur rós, the rachel’s, or others. I’ll be back next week at the same time.
