Idyllic Music

Episode 25 finds us globe hopping once again, from Copenhagen, Prague, Raleigh, San Francisco and Warsaw. We'll hear from Thulla, The Grooveblaster, Floex, Dan West, Curium and FSP.

Stephen McAlister has a new feature this week that points out some great streaming music by influential artists found on MySpace. More on that later in the show. This week we'll hear from USB, Indy, Putty and Gen. Fuzz. I'm Jim Nye

A reminder that many of the songs you hear on this podcast can by purchased through the Cornershop at idyllicmusic.com to help support the artists. This week, we'll hear from Bipolar, Authist and Dubone, The Hellbus, Mangomad and Youth Reference.

This podcast plays podsafe music or songs played with specific permission of the artist. This week I was lucky enough to obtain that go ahead from 5 bands I have admired for many months. They are Lendi Vexer, Sexmusic, The Silk Demise, Puracane and more recently, Profetas de Zion.

The music that I find most interesting is often least likely to be heard widely. It might be a bit off kilter, unpredictable or somewhat out of balance. Koyaanisqatsi, if you will. Each of the next 5 songs displays those qualities to one degree or another. We'll hear from Invisible Asps, Vim Cortez, Queenie, Kommbat and Shadowproject.

This 20th episode of Idyllic Music reminds me how utterly universal a language music is.We'll hear recordings from Russia, the U.S. France and the U.K. from the likes of Compulsive Behavior, Victoria Mosley and The Sublimes, Cyndi Vellmure and a Coisa Louca.

This week we celebrate the Grand Opening of the Cornershop at idyllicmusic.com. You will find links to many of the songs you hear on this podcast and a quick, easy way to support those bands and this podcast. Musically, this week we'll hear from Sunburn in Cyprus, the Maido Project, Judith Owen, 22 and Refrag.

Idyllic Music always invites introspection. Sometimes you'll find it in a rural village, sometimes a stretch of beach or a large American city. This week we'll hear from Falling You, Portal, Tems and Minor Chill.

This week a trans-Atlantic exchange sets the mood as we hear from Mellow Dramas, MI:GFU, Shagg, Isotrak and Sideway.

This week, we hear the music of artists from the great cities of Milan, San Francisco, Montreal by way of Caracas and also the hinterlands of Wales. They are represented by The Warheads, Musetta, Subtronix and Triple Erre.

On tap this week we'll hear from Sunburn, elika, Huttenlocher, The Geminiac and Jigli B
