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

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!

Psychedelic swami? Electric wizard? Information Age jester? Maybe all of those personages? Nah - I'm just some bloke with a lot of LPs and CDs. I select music which I think is mostly tucked away from mainstream consumption, from a variety of genres. If an eclectic mix of sounds appeals to you...sit back, grab your headphones and enjoy!
