You know your eyes are too bleary from yesterday to read… listen instead!

Also song of the week… All in 38 commute friendly minutes!

Here it is, folks. I taught myself Garageband in a day, so bear with some of the odder edits! (but some of them are beeeyoootiful). I can’t figure out how to fade the underscoring in and out — Garageband seems to only want to fade out whole entire ENDS. I do know better, and am thinking wistfully of turntables. Not that I want back the days when I had to splice with actual tape (remember those? KZSU Stanford, where I hosted the show “Wild and Beautiful.” And I am sure there has got to be a better way to move interviews around on the timeline than the analog slog way I was doing it. Help meeeeee….

Still, I had a ball, even when I was (literally) pulling my hair out! 5 great interviews, that run the gamut of International music, local (and great band), great New York exhibit, international star, and book review– we’ve got you covered.


TICKET GIVEAWAY: What is Sean Smyth of Lunasa’s day job? The first responder gets a pair of tix to the show at Highline on Monday!
