Thursday, June 10 Strange Light Playlist

When I came rushing into the studio last week, Rich was closing out End of Radio with Freddie Hubbard. It made sense, then, to start the show with some jazz of my own before diving into blasted pysch-rock zones for the rest of the first hour. I picked up that Pharoah Sanders record at Mystery Train earlier in the week, where they’ve recently had a bunch of great jazz, specifically of the avant-leaning early seventies camp (grabbed that Alice Coltrane record from a few weeks back there).

Hour 2 kicked off with a cut from the recently reissued Mark McGuire Tidings/Amethyst Waves. Buy this thing from Weird Forest, please! It’s such a great package, especially if you can manage to snag the turquoise/purple marbled vinyl. Plus they included that Inca Ore album for free with my order. How great is that. (Really great!)
