My, how things have changed since the last podcast show. Two weeks ago when Chris Berry joined me in the studio, it was 90 degrees and disgustingly humid outside. On my way up to the studio today, the temperature gauge was hovering just a few notches above the freezing mark. In fact, I actually had to break out the winter jacket this weekend. I feel like a dramatic change in weather like this usually signals a shift in my listening preferences, too, but glancing at the playlist for this episode, I can’t really tell if that’s quite the case yet, as things seem to veer all over the place. But, I do have a bunch of great new stuff to play this time around that I’m excited to highlight throughout the show, including solid new full lengths from Quietus, Thomas Ankersmit, East of the Valley Blues, Andrew Chalk & Jean-Noël Rebilly, Simple Affections and much more. I hope you enjoy this installment! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
