Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for November 23, 2019

The first hour is typically jazzy. As for the second, well...

I kind of fell down an prog rock rabbit hold on YouTube last weekend, poking around a genre which I've been intermittently interested, but never as much as I was in high school, in the years before I discovered jazz. And sure, it's occasionally shown up in the webcast, but not like today. So strap yourself in, turn on your black-light, practice counting seven, five and thirteen, and enjoy.

For reasons we don't need to go into, we were again late to organizing today's program. The folder where I park candidates for upcoming programs was full of what's usually second hour material, so some of that has crept into the first hour. After a jazzy (if maybe long-winded) first set leads to a contemporary classical set is bookended with some some aspirational jazz, followed by an eight minute pop song. The second hour is obviously more typical, with some electronics, and things that sound electronic, and other somewhat pretentious stuff. Enjoy!
