No warning, no show. What gives?

Hi there,

Sorry to be absent this Saturday past. Absent minded too. Forgot to leave a quick post to let you know I was not able to do the old show. I plan to be there this coming weekend. Looks like, at the moment, that we'll feature the new release from Iron and Wine...but like everything else in life, this could change.

I got a comment today asking about my favorite band. Hard to say. I can tell you what I've been listening to in the car. I have a rotation going between and among Beirut, The Cinematic Orchestra, and Kaki King. Past recent favs have included Fiest, Appassionato by Yo Yo Ma, Imogen Heap, Kate Havnevik, Rodrigo y Gabriela, Pacha Massive, Andrew Bird.....

I played Jack Johnson's In Between Dreams repeatedly for months, much to my children's displeasure. Now, my interests move with the winds. Like a bird, I don't stay in one place long. Each we I pick a feature artist that is someone whose music I like. I often start listening to them for a while after featuring them on the show.

Sorry if this doesn't answer your questions, except to say, I guess there are no favorites.

Have a great week. Be kind...to your selves and others. See you next week.

Bill

tomorrow on the big shoe

In just under 14 hours we'll be featuring the new release from Beirut - The Flying Club Cup - on the big radio program. Hope you will join us. This is exciting. Not only is it new music form one of the best new, young talents in the biz, but BaDaBing records is following other record companies by releasing the album on iTunes before the actual CD release date (in this case, October 9,2007). So, do join us for the debut of the latest from Beirut. Be there, or be square....

big love

Bill
