Middle May.

Heading home along Cornwall.

For any of you still relying on the XML feed, you're markedly patient. You may have to remain that way for a while sadly.

Here are the most recent two regular radio shows.

rfg #67 - Straight outta Quincy [84.3 Mb]

This show wasn't totally scripted since a good chunk of it was improvised after coming back immediately from the 2009 Sasquatch! festival in the superhot climes of Eastern Washington. The good news for the other DJ's is I did manage a shower before arriving at the station. Mike Patton's score to Crank: High Voltage has been an odd wonder for me in the past few months; one show theme it reminded me of — good soundtracks to bad films.

rfg #68 - The full hazy gamut [82.2 Mb]

There isn't much in English (or good text properly translatable to English) on Franco Godi, but Mr. Jingle wrote a lot of music for various projects, and I think I played half of them in this show. The choral set has been kicking around for a bit, but somehow snuck into this episode, adding to the already carnival feel. I'm proud to say that this show isn't commercial radio by any stretch of imagination.
