Hello listeners! This is the first new episode I've created since all of my older shows were inadvertently wiped by MyPodcast.

I hope to be back with another new one soon. Enjoy!

A Vote For The 'Stroboscope Is A Vote For Fun (re-post)

Download this episode (61 min)
Hello and welcome to the Kaleidophonic Stroboscope! An hour (sometimes a bit longer and sometimes a bit less) of music that I choose to showcase from my collection. The tunes can be anything from progressive rock to modal jazz to art-punk to Indian ragas. I try to make it pretty eclectic...as much as I can, anyway.

I started this podcast in May 2008, mainly to use as a 'demo' for a prospective radio job. I still haven't heard back from the stations who replied to my e-mails (heh heh), but I've continued on with the podcast. It's been fun to create the playlists for the shows and to mess about with Photoshop for the show's banner.

I had 8 shows completed over a 9-month period. Last month, My Podcast upgraded their servers (I think) and unintentionally wiped out all of my shows, except one. I didn't have anything backed-up on our hard-drive, as we had so little memory left on it.

The only one I had left was this episode. I originally intended to create it last November, in time for the U.S. presidential elections, but didn't have time. I opted for the inauguration of Barack Obama--but I missed that deadline as well. It was finally finished at the beginning of February and that's when I posted it. We're upgrading our PC in the next few weeks and once that's done, I'll re-launch the 'Stroboscope with a brand-new episode. Enjoy!

The track-list for this one is:

Intro
Alice Cooper - Elected (from the "Billion Dollar Babies" album - released in 1972)
Parliament - Chocolate City (from the album of the same name - rel. in 1975)
Matching Mole - Starting In The Middle Of The Day, We Can Drink Our Politics Away (from the "little Red Record" album - rel. 1972)
Mick Farren - Trouble Every Day (from the "Vampires Stole My Lunch Money" album - released in 1979)
Stevie Wonder - Big Brother (from the "Talking Book" album - released in 1972)
Super Furry Animals - Presidential Suite (from the "Rings Around The World" album - rel. in 2001)
Bob Marley & The Wailers - Them Belly Full (But We Hungry) (from the "Natty Dread" album - released in 1974)

A Trip To The Vinyl Vault:

Featured LP: The Firesign Theatre - "I Think We're All Bozos On This Bus" (released in 1971)

'Meeting With The President' (excerpt from Side 2)

Cream - Politician ('Top Gear' session - January 1968) (from the "BBC Sessions" album - released in 2002)
The Steve Miller Band - Industrial-Military Complex Hex (from the "Number 5" album - rel. in 1970)
