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.


See the playlist after the break...
There probably should have been a joke after "we're getting started with Genesis" but I was not on my game.
