It's time again to dig into the dreaded "Unreleased" folder and randomly choose some old old old music I created back in the days when I knew even less about what I was doing than I do now.  What will we hear this time?  Only the Web Number Picker knows for sure!

It's time for another round of "Two Versions of the Same Song!"  This time it's about a track from the newly released Subdivisions EP.

If you're in Chicago, come see me play live on 2/13, 3pm Central at Tone Deaf Records, and if you're not in town, you can stream the show live on my Blast Radio Channel.

Later!

This week's episode is the first time we've done what we intended with this show - to share work in progress elements on a current work in progress!  My upcoming album Ronchamp is an attempt at capturing a specific memory in music, and improvisation is an important part of bringing that memory into focus.

Have a good one!

Today we're drinking the podcast favorite:  a Bitter Giuseppe!  

We're also listening to two collaborations with Jienan Yuan, a frequent music partner who recently uploaded two EPs to Spotify that feature work we've done together.  Here are the Bandcamp links to these EPs:

Note:  I'm playing a show in Jessica Risker's band on 1/22/22 at the Hideout.  

Note:  I'm playing a solo show on 2/13/22 at Tone Deaf Records.  With me on the bill are fellow Blast Radio artists Prokharchin and Cinchel.

Just some meditative something-or-other.  If you like the track and don't want my intro/outtro talking, head over to joshuawentz.com/podcast and you can download it there, for free.

Take care of yourself.

Ending the year without any fanfare!  That's how we're saying goodbye to 2021.  No countdowns or best-ofs, just a few tracks that I recorded from some vinyl records a million years ago.  There is a really fun one in the mix, though, so it's all worth it.

See you in 2022!

Today we'll listen to a selection of tracks from the Chicago Songwriting Club Holiday Compilation.  Please go pick up this selection of 21 songs, as the proceeds go to benefit the Greater Chicago Food Depository.

Have a great week, we'll see you on the other side of Xmas.

Later~Jw

We take a spin with the random number picker and listen to tracks from my mysterious "Unreleased" folder.  That about covers it!

Hello!  This week we listen to a few versions of my favorite traditional song, including a cover (of a cover) by yours truly.  Sometimes less is more, sometimes more is more, right?  Here's some work form John Keating, Mike Oldfield, and Sinead O'Conner.

This week we look at a song evolution, originating as a listless instrumental and ending in a fantastic collaboration.
