There is some good news on the ink mathematics front. First off, the college radio station where I DJ, KBGA, has at last re-acquired a device with which one can record their radio programs…and I have been diligently doing that for the last three shows. Second off, I am rededicated to my radio show and I have begun to unearth all sorts of new records that I hope to post up here one day. Third off, the weather here has already started cooling considerably (I saw snowflakes today, september 5th) and that means I will once again retreat to music and this website in order to maintain my sanity over the winter months. Now, for some music and some bullets:
- Bob Dylan played here last week and I decided to wander down and sit outside the fence. I could hear the music alright but I can’t say Bob’s voice is anything but downright haggard. I sat there and drank a milkshake for a couple songs and then a teenage kid walked up to me and asked me what high school I was in. I told him I wasn’t, but I wish I was. I biked on home.
- Saw a bear the other day while mountain biking in the Rattlesnake. So nice to see a bear…I’ve missed every one of them so far this year.
- Also, I heard what was probably a mountain lion scream the other night. This is the second time I’ve heard that terrifying scream.
- Spent a little too much time watching this Psychic TV video down below. Not only is the song and video all out sweet, but the lyrics are about Brian Jones, once a member of The Rolling Stones who died a mysterious death.

Hello again,
A lot has been going on over the last month or so but I’ve managed to get this one nice early 70’s African & Brazilian funk-psych mix together for ya. There are some really nice cookers in this mix that have been destroying me daily for the last couple months…I simply can’t stop cranking them on high-fi the second I get in the door after work..Music like this really makes me wish I could seriously dance. Oh, and there are some early James Brown tunes in here as well.
I hit a pedestrian bulb-out a few weeks ago on my bicycle while biking at night. It was a bad wreck, one of the worst I’ve been in for sure, but somehow I walked away with only emotional scarring and a beat-up bike and helmet. I know these bulb-outs probably won’t disappear anytime soon but I decided to write a letter to the newspaper and they published it, so maybe city official folks will start rethinking these things before they put more in. This Missoula woman wasn’t as lucky as I was.
I’m heading outta town for a bit so I’ll see you in August.
Have a nice one, Collin

Hello,
The last few weeks in Missoula have seen a whole lot of rain and last wednesday, during my radio show, was no exception. With that big window in the studio allowing the grey dark skies to look in at me I put together a sort of slower, folk-influenced set that seemed to fit the mood just about right. Here’s that.
Thanks for stopping in,
Collin
