This was the post-funding drive show, the return to the usual format of Breaking The Tethers (i.e. mostly music, a bit of talk, rather than the other way around, which is what happens during funding drive). I think what was played this week was a nice mix of things, perhaps leaning to the avant/experimental side. Also, I actually played four tracks with vocals (excluding Keith Jarrett's vocalizations on "Flying, part II"); what is the world coming to? Fave piece: "Look to the neutrino" by Greg Burk.
