episode 1 - coast road

i've thought for a while that writing and curating a blog would be a worthwhile endeavour, but i have been sorely unable to think of a single subject in which i could really inspire and compel a readership to continue beyond the opening sentence. then someone turned me on to podcasts. so, here i am, subjecting you all to the music which excites and inspires me each day (or, for the purposes of this podcast, each week). the best thing is that i barely have to write anything.

ultimately i intend on formatting these podcasts as one would a radio show with me talking between tracks, etc. right now, it's all i can do to make the confounded thing adhese to the internet in a music only format. i keep throwing mp3s up here and they keep falling down again. hopefully by the time i go to bed, anyone who is interested will be able to listen to:

dick gaughan: bonnie jeanie o'bethelnie (from 'gaughan' lp)
alasdair roberts: andrew batann (from 'you need not braid your hair for me, i have not come a-wooing' ep)
lau nau: kuula (from 'kuutarha' lp)
erik enocksson: think of me as the sea (from 'with its dark tail curled 'round the garage' lp)
ben reynolds: here toucheth blues (from 'ben reynolds' 3"cd-r)
six organs of admittance: it was written (from 'it was written' 7")
afrirampo: kairaku do re mi (from 'kore ga mayaku da' lp)
park attack: toes (from 'half past human' lp)
essie jain: glory (from 'we made this ourselves' lp)

should i write a little about these artists and their tracks? i can. let me know. i'm a total novice at this lark.

anyway - enjoy and please give me feedback because i want to make this as interesting for anyone who cares to listen as it is for me.

thanks!
