What do you do when you’ve reached 400 podcast episodes? Keep going, I guess! We’ll stick to the Holding Tanks this time through and for the most part keep things a bit on the down-low. (That’s what the cool kids say, right? Humor me.) Off you go. Start       David Arkenstone, The World Sleeps, Winterlüde4.52  […]

400? What’s up with that? Yes, your presumably favorite podcast has now happened 400 times, and we celebrate with an hour in the library and an hour of new stuff. (Plus, I indulge in a couple personal favorites!) Enjoy, and thank you for listening! Start      Bob Holroyd, Darwin’s Dream, In Motion/Hollowman6.48      […]

New year, same old show. You know, the one that brings you nothing but the best ambient, electronic, and contemporary instrumental music and has that host who doesn’t seem to take this seriously? Yeah, that one. Ready for more of the same? Coolness. Let’s go. Start       Carlos Dengler, Desert Flora, Private Earth12.28    […]

Taking our leave of 2023, we do so in a manner most casual, stretching out, biding our time, meandering as one does, unrushed and–oh, who am I kidding? We’re getting lazy for the last show of the year, airing out some longer cuts that have been tucked into the Tracks to Play list for a […]

A storm of fiery guitar kicks this one off, pulling bits of New Age and electronic music in its wake. Then we get comfy in the library, greeted by some post-rock (with its own bits of fiery guitar), and hang out until, as often happens, we reach a nice, quiet close.Oh, yeah, there’s also one […]

Kicking off with some fun uptempo stuff, we’ll work our way across this 90-minute landscape to end up somewhere much quieter. Start      Test Card, The Blank Code Re-Write, Channels5.48       Beukotreug, Hydra, Cosmic Spring10.33     Space Art, Across The Corridor, Personal Duty15.10     Andy Cartwright, Signal Loss, Below The Noise19.15     Daryl […]

Get the children to safety in the bunker! There’s a theme show a’comin!Yeah, it’s that time again. Mr. Shanahan gets a “clever idea” and runs with it. (And yes, this is the one I talked about on 393…) Look at it this way: you get 20 tracks of musical goodness out of it! Enjoy! Start  […]

Not only do you get 90 minutes of great music this time around, but the show hits a bit of a milestone. Any guesses? I won’t spoil it here. Thanks for listening! Start      Yulio, Acid Barcelona, Cosmic Fractal4.46       John Scott Shepherd, Titan, Steps To The Stars10.17     M3NASH, Hanging Over the […]

Half a dozen from the Holding Tanks before we take a lengthy dip into the library stacks. Second set goes a little bit of everywhere, and has one of those artists who just happens to nail both song AND album title of the episode! Enjoy the ride. Start      Cottage 42C, Weeds like an […]

Might as well start off in contemporary instrumental/electroacoustic territory since I’ve been getting a lot of good stuff in that fits that bill. In the latter half it’s back into the library to revisit some friends. Start     Michael Whelan, We Are All Made of Stars, Walk in Beauty, Like the Night4.17       David […]
