Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for August 3, 2019

A variety show for you today. The first hour starts out with jazz as usual, winding it's way towards some senior citizen Americana. The second hour passes starts with some lawn mower powered avant-rock, through some contemporary classical from Soviet Union escapees, electronic music (both abstract and not), a guitar-synthesizer duel, and a wah-wah trombone rock-out to wrap it up.



See the playlist after the break...

In all the excitement, (K)ein Sommernachtstraum and Action Passion Illusion were flipped in the webcast, but are in their intended order in the archive (and the playlist.)
