That is all there is

I have returned from my travels, which took me across the globe (the Great Lakes Region). Wizened and world-weary, I continue my pursuit for the swingingest tunes.

Not following a strict theme, but rather playing some tunes I enjoy.

A collection of randomly chosen tunes united by one shared attribute - they are Good.

Spinning some of my favorite recordings that feature vocalists.

Some of my favorite recordings featuring some of my favorite bassists. Ironically, no tunes from Paul Chambers' record Bass on Top.

More of the iconic Blue Note sound, featuring Horace Parlan, Tina Brooks, Stanley Turrentine, Blue Mitchell, and other artists that frequently recorded for the label.

Classic recordings released by Blue Note during the 50s and 60s. A distinct sound cultivated by the label and unified under the striking album art created by Reid Miles.

We are at the point of departure - starting to get avant garde in here, just a little...

First episode of Brilliant Corners - introducing the new show with a variety of relaxed and easy-going tunes.

Could this be the end of the Syndicate? It is, at least for now... Spinning a lullaby for the show, then Long Season, and finally, we shall Ascend Forth.

Happy (almost) six months to the Syndicate! Spinning favorites from past shows

Believe it or not, more 80s

The vocalist yells in most of these songs. Emo-adjacent, hardcore, post rock, etc.

Enjoy some more of the Syndicate Sound, with extra special guests...

80s again, believe it or not

A return to shoegaze. Rev up your Dyson

Spinning some more 80s tunes. But there is a twist - one track was recorded in 1995. What??? Amogus?!?!?

It is very hard to come up with a new theme for each week. Here is a set with some tunes that I enjoy and that are very loosely related sonically. Some post-punk, punk, jangle pop, etc.

No wave, no aloha
