The day ahead on WGXC 90.7-FM
1 a.m.: Vital Weekly: Seth Cluett Episode 955 of weekly experimental new music show, by folks formerly behind Staalplaat. Click on title for playlist 955.
2 a.m.: FFFoxy Podcast: Samantha Glass There were loads of new releases to sift through for this episode (#46) of the FFFoxy Podcast, several of which are surely going to be in the mix when it comes to year-end list time (too soon??). In particular, there was lots of great bizarro cassettes to spin; we’ve been especially loving the latest sounds from Samantha Glass, White Fir, and Ernest Gibson. We’ll likely be doing an all-cassette edition of the podcast show within the next month or so to spotlight more of this cassette activity. Can’t say enough good things about each of the LPs that made their way into this podcast, too. The latest full-lengths from Giant Claw, Panabrite, and Ulaan Markhor feature some of the strongest work by each of these artists who have been long-time favorites of the show. Hope you enjoy the music throughout. Please forgive the overuse of the word “phenomenal” during the talk breaks, though. Apparently, adjectives are much more difficult to come by when under-caffeinated at six in the morning Feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or comments.
