This episode is dedicated to the strange, sunny, and special place of Craven County, NC. Lay back with tunes from Hailu Mergia, Lena D' Água, Loose Ends, and more. Find the secret spot and jump into the rhythm river. ~ Dj Nails

Whether the star attraction or a subtle accent, I consider all of the tunes in this episode wonderful due to their essential six-stringed ingredient. Two hours of mellow & energized guitar music from Steve Hiett, Joan Bibiloni, Ryo Kawasaki, and more. ~ Dj Nails

Because Brawndo has electrolytes....

Loose Discs #2 starts off with meditative, pre-dawn sounds before stretching fully awake to the embracing songs of Javier Bergia and Lonnie Liston Smith. After a strong jazz shakeup, the beat organizes into a Mother's Day-approved spread of house and disco dancefloor classics. ~ Dj Nails

"All cosmic and cellular tunes from the golden era of German sound experimentation...Dream in and drop out of the cosmos with Schultze, Froese, Göttsching, and friends. Gute reise! ~ Dj Nails

Freeform selections tonight. Does this record spark joy? Yes. Give it a spin... ~ Dj Nails

I first heard Carl Read’s cover of Bruce Cockburn’s, “If I had a Rocket Launcher” sometime in 2013. It was the first time I had ever heard the song. I’d not heard the original, so Carl’s version became my favorite immediately. No offense to Bruce, but I will always like Car’s version better for many reasons. 

Radio cannot convey the way this video made me feel. Shot in black and white, the editing makes Carl look ghostly, intensifying the message in the song and in the description of the video.  Read the full story.
