I just stumbled across David Bryne’s radio stream. You know him from The Talking Heads, you remember Once in a Lifetime, Psycho Killer, Burning Down the House… Anyway, his music has changed a bit since then, but if you dig that sort of thing then you will definitely enjoy his choices here. […]

As you may or may not know I’m addicted to Rhapsody. Well I listen to the Downtempo ‘Radio’ stream a lot and this is where I have been picking up some interesting CDs. Tonight my recommendation is Mr Scruff - Trouser Jazz. If you subscribe to Rhapsody, then take a listen.

Day One:

Nora O’Connor - Any chick who does a pretty good Tom Waits cover, “Looks Like I’m up Shit Creek Again”, is okay in my book!

One thing I really miss about Austin, TX is Waterloo Records! I could waste a whole afternoon there searching for new music. Now don’t get me wrong Amoeba is an excellent store with probably one of the largest selections of music around. But the one thing they are missing is CD listening […]

If you are looking for a decent, FREE, radio stream. Look no further than SOMO FM! There’s nothing like coding to Grove Salad…
