Sad to say that Frank, your favorite podcasting primate, is missing from our ceremony yet again. This has resulted in embarrassing monkey impersonations and much recrimination against Phoebe, who again forgot to bring him when we recorded this episode. Somehow in spite of this adversity, we managed to come up with yet another damn good playlist and podcast for you. A few returning artists, a bunch of new and obscure artists (though maybe fewer great videos this month?). It’s what we do for you.   Show notes from our September 2024 Spotify Podcast: We started with Phoebe’s ten submissions and Al’s ten submissions, but our finished, 11-song playlist is put in an order that we think makes sense musically. Which is not same same order that we pick the songs during the picking ceremony heard during our podcast.     Song notes (Quotes are from song lyrics):   Both our Spotify playlist and our podcast are updated and released around the first of each month. We’re recorded monthly in the warm and cozy hug of the OML Studios in lovely downtown Manchester, Richmond, Virginia. Thanks to Buffalo Trace Bourbon Whiskey for help in recording this month.

  August brings us to the 50th monthly version of the In the Distance, Oblivious Playlist!

  Frequent Obliviites know that we sometimes take our show on the road to record in odd places like beach motel rooms or state park campgrounds. This month we carried our laptops, mascots and various sounds effects up to the roof of the OML Studios for our July episode. So listen up as we bring you you eleven great songs, plus bonus sirens, traffic, train horns, jet flyovers, and other general city sounds! We always try and keep it entertaining for you, and remember, “this is not a professional podcast”.   Show notes from our July 2024 Spotify Podcast: We started with Phoebe’s ten submissions and Al’s ten submissions, but our finished, 11-song playlist is put in an order that we think makes sense musically.
