The title of this week’s show pretty much says it all. Musically, I found myself over the last few weeks going down a number of fun and interesting rabbit holes en route to discovering some new sounds and artists to share. This represents the “tangents” part of the title—one known artist led to learning about other lesser known and less familiar artists. The “circle backs” involve returning to some Alloy favorite releases to dig even deeper to reveal more musical treasures. There was even just a wee bit of time to toss in a seasonal tune as well—a veritable melange of musical merriment filled the air this week.
Don't forget that you can listen to all of the music from the last episode, “Of Horns and History” (click here). This week's artwork, “tangents and circle backs” is a detail of a larger work by yours truly.
Thanks for listening!
