"Hymn for Tunisia" - Afternoons In Stereo (The silence between phrases)
This week's episode featured plenty of new and newly-rereleased jazz that leans to the more "out there" side of the genre plus a variety o'stuff from other types of music. Highlights for me included the two MOI tunes from We're Only In It For The Money (one of my top 10 albums), the Soft Machine tune, "Happy for you" by Polar Bear, and the Frantics (boot to the head!).
Another highlight was the interview I conducted with singer-songwriter-musician Elizabeth Shepherd. She called from a phone booth in Lake Superior Provincial Park and filled us in on aspects of her music and talked about her latest tour (which will bring her to Calgary and Bragg Creek later this week). Many thanks to Elizabeth for taking time out of her travels to talk with us.

"Got a telephone in my bosom" by the Amazing Farmer Singers of Chicago - kinda crazed but just great stuff!
"Midnight sun" by Cobblestone Jazz - pretty groovy
"Coup d'etat" by Circle Jerks - got some props in a phone call from a listener after I played this.
"When I light your darkened door" by Damien Jurado - just a good, moody song and performance
But I very much liked almost everything :-)

Change of time on May 10, 2010
Here's something I forgot to mention on the May 3, 2010 show (sorry). The May 10, 2010 program will start at noon instead of the usual 10 am. Breaking The Tethers will be switching places with Her Royal Opinion, but just for this week. The normal 10 am start time for Breaking... will resume on May 17, 2010.
