Hello,
Thanks to everyone that has decided to sign up for subscriptions to this site recently…it’s kind of neat and makes me actually believe that a few people listen to these posts every now and again. Oh, and I am going to eventually update the link section one of these days, do you want in? I’ll do it.
I am thinking about getting a new pair of headphones, a damn good pair, do you have any recommendations? I was thinking about getting another pair of Grado Headphones, maybe these, but I need to do a bit more research I suppose before I drop bookoo bucks. The pair I have right now, also Grado, have been very good to me but are over ten years old and are starting to break down a bit and I’ll take any excuse to buy new headphones.
Well, I’m sure you’ll dig this set of music up above. It’s kind of an amalgamation of music I have discovered over the last few weeks. The Fallen Angels album, “It’s a Long Way Down”, gets heavy rotation in this set as it is one of the most amazing albums I’ve come across in quite awhile. There is a relatively inexpensive reissue out there that is worth getting.
Bye,
Collin

SETLIST! (each set is an hour)
Here’s a two-part set I did last week on the radio…It was a good one, a touch of psych and a pinch of folk blended into a mind-melting pre-christmas stone-out. There are a lot of gems in these sets. I’ve been totally blown away by Jim Sullivan’s psych-folk album “U.F.O.” and a cut off of that is in here. Another album, and one that can be found easily, is the album “A Lovely Sight” by a group hitherto unknown named “Pisces”. It’s astonishing that an album as good as this could remain in absolute obscurity for almost 40 years until a recent re-issue. They possess all the juicy parts of The Jefferson Airplane with a slight Velvet Underground edge… I compel you to hunt down their album!
Oh, and I came across an album the other day by Bill Clint…A super depressing loner/downer folk album called “The Crying of a Generation”. I don’t have any problems with the music itself, it’s actually very good and melodic with John Denver-esque vocals, but the subject matter is so goldarned sad that I have trouble listening to the entire album straight through. Point in case, listen to this track, “Angels Don’t Need Friends”, and tell me you don’t feel a slight twinge of sickness in your gut around the 8-minute mark when Bill Clint starts crying, really starts crying! blubbering to be exact. Seriously, that is some downer-folk, seriously.
Thanks for stopping by, Collin

Hi There,
Here’s the deal. The studio at KBGA has been rebuilt and has yet to install a device with which to record your radio show. This device will soon be here, but for the last few weeks I haven’t had any show recordings and have thus had no new postings. Now, what I have started, is a “song of the day” thing on facebook…each day posting some tasty little nugget I’ve stumbled across that seems to fit the mood. Not all of the people who come across this blog are my facebook friends, at least not yet, and those poor folks haven’t yet tapped into the wealth of Mp3 tracks chosen for my facebook “song of the day” postings. So, non-facebook readers, here is a link to the folder that contains all the tracks chosen… (unfortunately you might not be able to tell the artist and name of each track)
Dutifully Yours,
Forever and Ever,
Sweet Cheeks

Hello,
This deer above was poached near my house a few days ago. I heard the shot, saw the deer die, saw the illegal hunters on the side of the hill, and called I-800-TIP-MONT and reported the sunsabitches to the warden. The hunters saw me, I guess, because they didn’t come down and try to claim the deer which now lay dead in front of me. The warden was excited, a real live crime happening, and on the way up the road he took the time to write down the license plate of a vehicle parked about a mile down the road. He drove up to my house and I hurriedly gave him the facts, he jumped back in his truck and sped down the road. An hour or so later he called me and told me he got the guys, some college kids, and now he was going to make them gut the deer (but they can’t keep it), show him where they shot the deer from, and hand them down some fines for illegally shooting firearms (you can only bow hunt around here), trespassing, and failure to wear hunter’s orange. I got the guys.
I wasn’t able to record last weeks’ show so I took the time to assemble a mix on the computer here. The new studio at KBGA is running and looks downright gorgeous. We’ve got a new board, new cabinetry, and a cool hiding place for the turntables so they don’t get damaged needles any more. This mix would be a good one for headphones, what with some subtle soft dreamy downer psych and some sweet orchestrated parts within. I am absolutely obsessed with the band, “Gandalf”, who have two tracks in this mix….hunt that album down if you can.
Bye,
Collin

Howdy,
This weeks show was kind of a recap for me…having played half of the music on the air during previous shows (maybe even posting a few up here in the past). I was in a sort of rock and roll mood so this set has some nice crunchy rawk within it.
adios,
Collin
Faintly Blowing
Hello,
This last week on the radio was a sort of rough one due to the fact that two of the needles on the turntables in the studio had mashed up needles that made even the most clean record sound like scratched-up garbage so, I decided to clean up and edit the set a bit before I posted it up here for you, hope it sounds nice.
What’s new? Any requests?
