Since I don’t really foresee very many people making it through this entire playlist, I’m not doing a “reading of the list” closing chat for this episode. In particular, I know that japaneseCARCRASH is a difficult cut to listen to, from the harsh squealing feedback to the odd, almost school-yard chanting… So why did I play a song that I don’t think many people will enjoy? Two reasons: (1) I love the song. It’s odd and uncomfortable (and that feedback is downright painful with ear-buds in), but the song is interesting and has a cool hypnotic quality. I also like all of the sci-fi noises. (2) This is EXACTLY the type of song that tends to get lost. It’s not on a gigantic label, it’s not a hummable pop hit, and it’s really, really strange. One of the most important factors, for me, in producing this program is to bring these little known gems to light so that, maybe, someone will take an interest and dig up a few of the other tracks by this group. (Or whichever performers might strike their fancy!)

I’m in it for the MUSIC. I’m sharing tunes that I enjoy in the hopes that other people will also love them and give the artists who made them a chance…(and, if all goes well, you might slide them a couple of bux, too! We want the people who make cool stuff to get a chance to EAT!!!) If you are interested in any of these songs, consider buying a copy, either physical or digital! Keep the music makers making music! (The tracks were included in this program were chosen for education / appreciation purposes only! Not everything is a goddam conspiracy…)

Thanks for stopping by!!!
