"Divine and bright" - Earth (A bureaucratic desire for extra-capsular extraction)

"Way of the cross/crucifiction/death" - Undivided (The passion)
Another "all over the map" show, with 30+ (32 to be exact) tracks played again. Some key items from today's program:
*The 5000th track played on Breaking The Tethers appeared today. This was "Tree of freedom" by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Wynton Marsalis. I had originally planned to keep tabs on what was being played and where the number was at but I forgot all about it. So, no big announcement during the show. "Tree of freedom" just ended up being the lucky track. I'm OK with that.
*Captain Beefheart checked out of the planet on Friday (credit to Scott Miller on the RT list, I think, for the "checked out of the planet" bit). He'd long since quit the music business (since 1982, I believe) to return to his visual art roots (he was a sculpting prodigy as a child) and was sick with MS but he left behind a remarkable collection of recorded music. In his honour, I chose to play one of my Beefheart faves, "Abba zaba".
*There was a Dutch feel of sorts to today's episiode. A pile of Dutch jazz and jazz-related music, both recent and from the last few years, crossed my path this week. Most of it was pretty cool so I decided to feature some of it on air. I actually didn't get to play all of the material I wanted so there will be more on the December 27 program (different performers and different CDs, of course).
The next edition of Breaking The Tethers will be a just slightly-post-Christmas (Day) show, as mentioned, on December 27, 2010, the last one of the year.

This was probably the least "jazz" show in quite some time. No more of a quarter of the tracks played this week would fall into this category. I'm OK with this but, for any folks who would like to hear more jazz on Breaking The Tethers, fear not, there will be programs with higher jazz quotients in the future (though it will always wax and wane, as will other styles of music).
Fave plays this week: The cover version of "I am the walrus" by Pert Near Sandstone and "Tidelands" by Moondoggies.
Just 25 tracks to go and we'll be at the 5000 level. I suspect that this will happen in the 3rd hour of the show next week, December 20. I'll try to remember it when it happens :-)

Also, there's only 51 tracks to play before hitting the 5000 mark. I thought that this might occur on the December 27 show but it now looks like 5000 will be reached on the December 20 program.
