This ended up being another jazz-filled show though with plenty of representation from other genres. My top tune this week was probably RT's "Demons in her dancing shoes" from the acoustic disc of the deluxe Dream attic release; I just love the instrumental that pops up in the last section of the performance. Mary Halvorson was wonderful as well; gotta like messing with the pitch! There were some great titles this week, too, including "I am doing better in a parallel universe" by B.A. Johnston and "The thing, and the thing that makes the thing the thing" from the Glenious Inner Planet (what does Glenious mean??)

"Mute" - Charlie Mariano (The great concert)
"A rose is a rose…" - Diane McIntosh (Pinnacles: music of/musique de Diane McIntosh)
Musically, I thought this was a strong show, especially the first couple of hours. Things came together well and hung together. There was plenty of variation but also a fair amount of inter-connectedness. I wasn't so fussed about my performance on the mic today; too much stumbling, gaps, gaffes, and errors; oh well, I will survive :-)
I played one of my favourite instrumentals today, "Sombre reptiles" by Brian Eno. I've been thinking that my show could do with a theme, something regular and recognizable to start the program, and the idea occured to me that "Sombre reptiles" could be a good theme tune. I'm going to mull this over for a while but I welcome thoughts from listeners and readers about this.
Best CD title this week: Louder faster more fun by the Johnnys. There's a good motto for life!
