GIMME TINNITUS

Quick before the month is over, let’s stop and look back and reflect on on what we were listening to one year ago.

I must say it feels weird posting a live WOXY track the day after they stopped live broadcasting. There must be something we can do to bring back live broadcasts to WOXY. Let’s get on that, ok?

Oh, this is the March 2009 Mix. Listen.

Guillermo Scott Herren a/k/a Prefuse 73 has a new album set for release. It is entitled Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian. The “ampex” of Ampexian refers to analog Ampex tape. Apparently, Prefuse 73 eschewed the digital on this one. The 29 track “concept” album may be recorded using analog technology, but at the same time it sounds futuristic (much like The World Of Tomorrow?). To be honest, this is kinda what I thought music was going to sound like in the future when I was a child. Be sure to check out the “Yes-worthy” coverart below. The album drops comes out on April 14.
