I can't offer a best of, won't offer a comprehensive look at any important musicians, this is just my favorite artists, bands, album sides, and short mixes served in digestible sizes. It's music you eat with your ears.

The visuals are borrowed from the animated short The Oceanmaker by Lucas Martell, the music is what happens when non-musicians make "music".
I feel like I have hit on what I want this podcast to be, even s it continues to evolve: the radio station that I'd listen to. Typically I find myself bored by both radio stations and dance floors because they are constrained by genre but my sense of music that is worth exploring and experiencing is not. One of my favorite dance floors was Black Betty in Williamsburg BKLYN 2002-2006. There was a DJ, whose name I should know, who played great dance sets as if genre was somewhat irrelevant. As someone touched by music across genres, he was the first best example for me of what it meant to put together the expanse of music you loved with no regard to genre. He played great sets that sometimes left me temporarily ambivalent but, overall, incredibly impressed. I wish to emulate that with less respect to BPM. I want to beat match because I want to hold onto the skill but more than that I want to create sets of seemingly incongruent music that feel cohesive because, ultima...

I just realized that it's been a month since I last posted and so I'm serving up a double portion for the imaginary musical dining guests in my head. The first course is some classic Thelonious Monk with the forever brilliant John Coltrane on the side. Two great tastes, that taste great together, either alone will soothe and enchant, together they floor you. This selection comes from the first side of a Milestone double album representing "Thelonious Monk and John Coltrane" and "Monk's Mood" it's a part of the first release. Thelonius Monk w/ John Coltrane 1 Ruby My Dear 2 Trinkle, Trinkle 3 Nutty The second course is Scott Herren (Prefuse 73) in his guise as Piano Overlord from the release The Singles Collection 03-05. A bit more nouveau, it's built around some classic jazz and hip hop elements, and rendered with a thoughtful electronic sensibilty; light and surprisingly filling. Piano Overlord Singles Collection 03-05 Si...
