Some fave tracks from this week:

*The "Hollywood dream" instrumental from Thunderclap Newman. Nice melody on acoustic guitar and nifty use of pedal steel.

*Two songs from the Jad Fair compilation. Kind of "outsider music" featuring 108 tracks on 3 CDs compiled from 48 albums.

*Another great track from from Pysch funk sa-re-ga ("Incidental music").

*New Radiohead! ("Little by little") Kinda dense stuff.

I've been involved in the training of a new programmer, Mark, this week and last. He has done radio work before but not since 2002. He pretty much knows his stuff, though. His last day with me is next week, March 14, 2011. He will be programming the latter half of the show. I'm looking forward to hear what he has come up with.
