Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center

Greetings! This show took a while to assemble due to technical difficulties, requiring me to please stand by.  I now have a new computer on order and have managed to coerce this one to be a bit more cooperative for right now. On board, lots of new releases, an older Jah Wobble track and a couple of things I concocted in my basement lair. Enjoy!

Greetings! Just back from Providence, Rhode Island where I experienced the I Heart Noise Fest 2025 in all it's noisy ambient, drone, experimental, rocked out, spacey glory. Today's program will serve to present the featured artists in the order they played that evening. Kudos to Ilya S. who put the whole thing together! Listen & Enjoy!
