Play That Heavy Music
It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl Mercury Retrograde Sanity Mixtape Series and Sounds Coming Out of the Land radio show updates, EMD in the official history of tape-making (!!!)
Hello everyone,
I am taking a swift break ahead of getting into the nitty gritty edits on the next Sounds Coming Out of the Land broadcast before submitting it officially to be aired once again at 10:00 Land Time, 16:00 ‘Dam Time this Sunday on Echobox Radio. The last broadcast is now available here, if you missed it and would like to experience what this is all about. This month we are talking about the development of “heavy music” and the central role of radio stations young people could tune into in Northeast Ohio. It features a lovely conversation I had with Robert Kidney of 15-60-75 (The Numbers Band) at this restaurant in an old train depot in Kent, Ohio a couple days ago.
Additionally, we just exited the shadow on the last Mercury Retrograde, so I accordingly completed my latest Mercury Retrograde Sanity Mixtape Series, titled It’s a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl. For this series, during one of the most demanding and stressful and basically unreal seasons of my life, I made tapes for eighteen people—nineteen tapes total, as one is a double cassette set.
I think my pirate radio show is Scott Krauss-approved, because he sent me this rare document. Tune in Sunday to discover why I have such cool and important fans.
Lastly, I am in the official history of tape-making. Look for it in on bookshelves near you in the fall or preorder it today. Shout out to Marc Masters for putting my blog (and my commitment to the old school of underground musical networks) in the canon.
Yours in music,
EMD
