Happy New Year everyone!! I hope you all had decent holidays, however you celebrate (or not), and are feeling rejuvenated and ready to take on meaningful and inspiring things in the year ahead. I’ve got a lot of great new material that arrived in the past month to cover on this installment, ranging from ramshackle DIY pop music to bizarro sound collage to tranquil ambient drift to lively free jazz aktion. I’m hoping you’ll discover something of interest along the way. One minor note of clarification: that’s “tearable” artwork I’m referring to when discussing the inserts in the Bert Scholten album, not “terrible”!! Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments about this episode. As always, thanks for looking and listening.
