We will be experiencing many anomalies of jazz, inlcuding intense communion with the gods. As doors creak open, bits of spoken word, gospel, funk, comedy, and "the world" will creep in.....jazz that "blows". Get ready.

Local artist G2 has a wonderful new cd out of home recorded songs he has written in this past 3 to 4 years. I was initially engaged in "Indie" music because I viewed the style as something I could conceivably create myself. With this idea in mind, I will be exploring the "Indie" genre this week, playing many home recordings, non-chalant melodies....products of garage bliss. What is "Indie" music exactly? Is it a reaction to vulnerability, confusion, track homes, strip malls, love, gadgets, beer....? You'll be hearing my perception of the sound, style, and culture of "Indie". Don't you just love silly genre classifications?

LSD March, who will be playing Maximum Freedom IV on October 7th. This week, we will be hearing psychedlic music that will make you see God and simultaneously shit your pants. Of course, some of the music I'll be playing, you won't even define as psychedelic, so throw your defintions out the window, and open that mind o' yers and catch the moment. Stop watching t.v. Stop believing in pop culture. The time is now, or the past, or the future. What is time?
