74: Running Through Your Dreams

I fully intended to start getting these out last weekend but, once again, life got in the way. Some notes on this set: I decided to include the Nelson Bragg song after hearing him interviewed on Pop Garden Radio last weekend. If you're free on Saturday night, Adam will be doing his annual Christmas show from 10PM to 3AM EST. I plan to be in his chat room during the show, so it should be a lot of fun.

Also: The Axe Riverboy track really stood out for me. When I went to research the album info after recording the show, I discovered why. Axe Riverboy is the pseudonym taken on by Xavier from Tahiti 80 for his solo project. I suppose I'll just have to go and buy the CD on iTunes now.

73: The Words I Never Spoke

Another music-only episode. The rest of the shows up to Christmas will feature a holiday song at the end. This one features a sci-fi Christmas song by one of my very favorite musicians, Jonathan Coulton. His Thing a Week box set would make a great gift for anyone with a love of science and a sense of humor.

72: Make It Last All Night

This is the first in a series of music-only episodes designed to help me clear out the backlog of great music I've been wanting and needing to play. Time has been a luxury these last couple of months and I fear it may not ease up in the next month or so. There will be hosted shows this month, but expect several of these music-only shows in the next few weeks.

71: Platters of Purest Gold

As I mention in this show, I'll likely be doing a handful of music-only shows in the coming weeks. I've got a backlog of great music to play and been too busy with other projects to devote the time to put together the shows. Hopefully things will ease up in the next couple of months, though, so try and bear with me.
