Static on the Wadio - Episode 5

Every time I listen to "Replay" by the Visioneers, I think about the journey I've taken over the years with music. It's always had a strong affect on me and I can go back to certain songs at certain times in my life and still feel certain emotions that were a crucial expression of who I was at that moment. It can be a visceral experience that is enjoyable and strange and awkward and interesting. So, I've decided that, as part of this series, I'm going to use this song by the Visioneers to replay some of those times in my life, to capture an era, as it were.

Here's my first attempt.

Static on the Wadio - Episode 4

I hope that these segments of music have been enjoyable and are providing at least some entertainment. I tend to find that my musical preferences tend to gravitate slowly, like an iceberg shifting across the landscape. I may find myself obsessing over a certain genre or musical act for months at a time. If that is somehow reflected in these episodes, my only wish is that what you hear isn't tiresome or dull. Feel free to let me know if that's the case and I'll try to change things up a bit.

Take care and may your aural landscape be a blessing.
