Testing the waters, and possibly your patience as well →[More:]While I was playing some recent downloads today, I decided to try a couple of fairly long tunes back to back to see how they sounded. As it turns out, they sounded good enough to get me digging around in the music file. Pretty soon I found myself with an hour and half set of really lengthy songs. How lengthy? The shortest track in the set comes in at 5:47; the rest average around 7 – 8 minutes, give or take, with one cut running over ten minutes. At any rate, I thought I might play the set on Radio Mecha tonight, around 12:30 AM PDT.
Now, ordinarily I wouldn’t whore out a show quite this far in advance, but it is a sad thing when the DJ is the only one listening. I’m aware that this type of music has a somewhat limited appeal, and I’d just as soon play something that has a fighting chance of being heard. So here’s the deal: if you’re gonna be at your computer at that time and would be interested in hearing some krautrock, post-rock, prog and psych, let me know here and I’ll be happy to play it. Otherwise, I’ll just throw together something when I get home and save the endurance test for another time.
