Hey really great mix. Don’t know why but I always have been fascinated by airports. Should get this one on my mp3 next I’m at airport.
Great mix man, just found this amazing podcast of post-rock. Has to be my most favorite new genre (new to me at least) to listen to. If I had any feedback it’d be the recap section. While great info, I really would like it to be at the end or maybe just on the blog so the podcast was all music, with an intro an outro. I listen to these at work and they’re great, I just get bored listening to the tid bits. But I do like the info, so maybe if it was just on the blog. Less talk more post-rock!! 🙂 thank a million for putting these together! Great tunage!
Thanks David for your input. I appreciate your listening and I’m glad you’re enjoying the tunes.
I hope this doesn’t sound like an overly negative response to your comment (really, I appreciate when people leave comments,) but I don’t think the format of the show is going to change much in the near future. Sorry.
Here’s my reasoning: There are a lot of excellent sources on the internet for unadulterated access to great music of all genres, i.e. Pandora, Last.fm, etc. When I started this podcast, I wanted to bring a human element to the show. I enjoy the format of radio (we were actually on the radio for three years prior to podcasting), but not the content. So I felt that merging post-rock and all things tangentially related with a radio format was the best of both worlds.
Of course, I always try to tighten up the talking breaks. I’ve gotten input before from others asking me to get rid of the talking or at least shorten the breaks. But I’m just naturally a chatty person. I can’t help it.
So David, although I appreciate your comment, I unfortunately cannot really help you out here. I hope you keep listening to the show and that your enjoyment of the music outweighs my bumbling.
Thanks,
Armand
