Rare Frequency Podcast

  The RF podcast has hit the quarter century mark — woot! In honor of this quasi-auspicious occasion, I bust out not one but two new tracks by COH (including a cracking semi-rarity), as well as not one but two tracks from Pedro Carneiro’s Improbable Transgressions 2CD (which I inexplicably misidentify on mic as Impossible Transgressions — whoops). There’s also fresh music from Giuseppe Ielasi, White Williams, Frank Bretschneider, and Jessica Rylan (yes, I mispronounce the name of her song, “Phantasia,” just to make things extra special — whoops again). There are also some golden oldies in the mix for your listening pleasure, so enjoy! Rare Frequency Podcast 25: Supremely RF (opening music: Raymond Scott, “Portofino,” Manhattan Research, Inc.
