Music, culture & politics. We'll also update Whitee's recording progress.
I've talked about his before, but I have a new metaphor to throw at you. Listening to a good radio show is like someone making a sandwich for you. It usually just tastes better than if you made it yourself.
Now, there are some crappy sandwiches out there - convenience store sandwiches are the equivalent of commercial radio- which is the norm. But when you listen to something like
Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight, it's like someone made you a sandwich. You kinda know what you're gonna get, but it's still full of surprise and it pretty much always tastes good, even if you've never had it before.
I just keep listening to the archives and having to go to the playlist to write down some of these songs then having to go find them for myself. It's the closest I can get to the "college days" when I would be able to just comb through new/old obscure (ie independent) stuff and find great music.
