Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for October 27, 2018

Putting himself in meteorological peril merely by traveling to the studio, your host cast his fate to the wind to create a program with titles first reflecting the inclement weather, then the upcoming Hallowe'en festivities (boo). It sort of turned into a jazz show, but there's some pretentious 80's pop, plus a couple of rockin' selections. (For a proper Hallowe'en program check out John Funke's Backwoods Halloween Spooktacular on WMBR.org)

Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for October 20, 2018

Today we bring you a program unafraid to put Bartók and Stevie Wonder in the same set, among other choice pairings. A program which hopefully doesn't reflect the dreary morning in which it was assembled but rather the sunny fall afternoon when it was presented. (there's at least one song appropriate for that.)

Playlist for the Unpopular Music Webcast for October 13, 2018

So, you took a few weeks off and had three weeks to put a program together. Surely it was finished well before 10:30 this morning? Ha! I say, Ha!

Truth be told, I did spend a good chunk of yesterday putting the results of a rainy day spent out-of-town on a street full of record stores1 on to the hard drive, so there was a bit more work than usual involved. Also we'll pay tribute to the late great Hamiet Bluiett.

Webcast info for October 6, 2018

Today is the third and last of some personal obligations keeping me away from the Somerville Media Center. Today we are successfully rebroadcasting the episode from May 2, 2015.

Recorded on a beautiful spring day, rather than a promising early fall day, with open studios, rather than Honk! getting people out. (that's not where I am by the way, not that you were wondering)

As I've said before, it's a good variety show episode, and one of the first to get much attention on Mixcloud. It starts out jazzy, and then goes through a Latin phase and a somewhat mellow section in the second hour. I think you'll enjoy.
