It was the usual nice mix o' jazz-type music on this episode of Breaking The Tethers, with a large chunk of the tracks being new releases. The word that came to mind to describe the proceedings was "moody". I know all music evokes moods of one sort or another but "moody" in and of itself seemed to fit best here. Define it as you will. And listen to the show here.

BTT hits mid-August next, with the show returning on Monday, August 17. To listen, head to 90.9 FM or cjsw.com at 10 am MT.

Thanks.

August 6, 2026 - Alternative To What?

Kerry was away from ATW (or A2W) for this episode so I filled in. Musically, it was the usual weirdo mix of tracks that I feature when my turn comes on ATW but there were a few slants this week. For example, there was a fair amount of ambientness, more than normal spoken word(ish) stuff, and a fair amount of blues; also less jazz than usual. I'm biased, of course, but this show is worth checking out and you can do that here.

I'm not sure when I will return to Alternative To What (Kerry should be back next week!) but I do know that I will be back at my usual CJSW gig, Breaking The Tethers, on Monday, August 10. Tune in at 10 am MT and go to cjsw.com or 90.9 FM.

Thanks.

I've said this before, probably a bunch of times now but, on occasion, a Breaking The Tethers show just works well, The music is great and fits together well, my patter works (well, as best as my patter can work 😆), and there are no technical issues. This was one of those programs. I'm not going to point out any specific tune as the whole thing is well worth listening to in one go. And you can do that here. 

There's BTT next week, on Monday, August 10, starting at 10 am MT. Go to cjsw.com or 90.9 FM to take it in.

In addition, if you're keen to hear me do more of my thing on CJSW, I'll be guest-hosting Alternative To What again on Thursday, August 6, beginning at 4 pm MT, at the same coordinates.

Thanks.
