It’s the last show of 2022, but we’re not going to look back. Oh no, my friend. We are going to stare straight down the barrel of a fully loaded Holding Tanks and say, with an appropriately unnerving grin, “Let’s see what you’ve got.” Seventeen cuts of goodness, that’s what.As ever, thank you for being […]

Oh, nothing much. Just 90 more minutes of really tasty musical treats. Things get a bit droney for a while, and we spend a good bit of time with contemporary composers. Definitely an episode for those with eclectic tastes. We’re all over the map here. Settle in, open mind. Start      Audio Mainline, Butterfly, […]

There are a lot of drone textures in this episode, designed to take you to a deeper place. Okay, some of this gets down into some darkness, but I’ll energize the ride as we get toward the end. Enjoy. Start      Jeff Pearce, What Summer Leaves Behind, In Late Summer17.25     Ross Gentry, Tusk, […]

Here’s my prediction: you’ll love the first part of this episode, and then you may wonder what the heck I’m thinking. My show, my rules. :-) Hang on and dig the ride. Start      Ryan Summers, Harbor Buoy, Deeply Divided5.25       Seigo Aoyama, First Gale, Prelude for the Spring11.39     Grotta Veterano & […]

Start      Darkroom, Our Damage Catches Up With Us, The Last Sense To Fade10.26     Ryan Huber, Quickening, Subterrane20.38     J. Doursou, Foliage, […]

Resisting the urge to do the obvious theme show, I instead opted to take you deep into the Holding Tank again. We kick off with some beats, wind down to drifts, and get a bit acoustic on the back half. There’s a quick stop in the middle, just to irk some listeners and see who […]

Took a look at the Holding Tanks and the download queue and made an Executive Decision: time to go back to focusing on all the good new stuff I’ve had coming in over the last few months. You haven’t seen the last of the library, but we’ll close those doors for a bit. I promise […]

We’re off to a slick start with some smooth sax and sliding our way down into some drifty grooves. Then we’re off to the library to visit some old friends. (One going back to ’05!) Start      Gian Berselli & Jérémy Marais, Insight, Creative Stillness5.52       Headland, Bullfinch, Bullfinch21.59     Alan Matthews, Andalusia, […]

There are great themes for podcast episodes … and then there’s this theme. But let me circle back with you once you’ve gotten around to listening. Have a ball. Start      Michael Bruckner, Circles of Joy, Recycled Life8.53       Dave Preston, The Circle Around the Sphere, In These Storms12.23     Failover, North of […]

Now that the birthday party fervor has died down, we can get back to checking out new music for a bit. Then it’s into the library, beginning with a kind of new and possibly recurring segment… Start      Radium88, No Place but Down, We are All Dreaming Now5.56       Glossographs, Woodend, False Owls10.24  […]

Time to wrap up year 13 with a nice, longer-than-normal dive into the library to celebrate the music that’s kept me going (and kept you coming back) all this time. My genuine thanks go out to all the musicians and labels who’ve kept the show fed with delicious music all this time, and to all […]

Oh, heck, you know the drill. There’s a bunch of great music to soothe your noggin and then some guy blabs in your ear for a bit. If you didn’t like it, you wouldn’t keep coming back! (So thank you for coming back.) Start      David Pedrick, The Golden Hour, Aurora4.35       David […]

Once again we start in the Holding Tank to see what’s been sent along. (Turns out it’s a bit of harp, guitar, and piano, among other things.) After that we’ll shuffle through the shelves and see what musical delicacies we can uncover. Bound to be tasty. Start      Trine Opsahl, Do Not Simply Pass […]
