No holiday to help pass the time this week, so I've been working on my next live set, mostly just writing stuff down at this point. Plus preparing for "work surface" thats lower than expected. That and Imay have to splurge for new headphones. The "Serviceable but not expensive" pair I use for live stuff is starting to flake apart. People have justifiably joked that my "last performance" has happened several times. Well call my Terry Funk then. This week we've got some great stuff from synthpop to aggro!

Its labour day weekend, so I'm getting everything done a little bit early so I can enjoy the long weekend. I'm actually heading to the local cemetery to take some pictures and feed the fattest squirrels in the city. I'm also taking the time to gather songs for my first live set in a couple of years. I've said it before, but this may be the last time you get to see me live. I take it all year by year.

Had a really nice 4 day weekend, went to the CNE, did some cycling, and listening to music for both this show and a soon to be announced Sanctuary gig in November. Keep your ears open. I'm going to be doing longer sets. But this week we've got some great music for you on RSA, possibly even a track or two I might play live.

I got a lot of great feedback about last weeks extra long theme show! I'm really glad you folks liked it, I haven't gotten that many emails about a show in years. We'll have to have another one.

Hereinspaziert, hereinspaziert, meine Damen und Herren! Jawohl, die letzte Folge unserer vierten Staffel riecht nach Theaterschminke und Sägespänen, denn unser Thema ist der Zirkus. Dabei geht es nur bedingt um Clowns, Akrobaten und Trapezkünstlerinnen, sondern um Songs und Musikstücke, die (in irgendeiner Sprache) das Wort "Zirkus" im Namen tragen. So haben wir eine gewohnt abwechslungsreiche Mischung zusammengestellt, mit melodischem Folk-Rock, düsterem Synth-Pop und Big-Band-Jazz an der Grenze zur Avantgarde. Das älteste Stück, das wir diesmal vorstellen, ist eine Komposition für Xylofon und Orchester und stammt aus dem 19. Jahrhundert. Sowas hört man selbst bei uns nicht alle Tage. Neugierig geworden? Dann viel Spaß beim Hören – und Manege frei!

A few weeks ago I promised a theme show, I like to do extra long shows when I come back from one of my two "breaks" every year. It would appear that I've used up all of my RSA vacation time, so its smooth sailing from here to the end of the year. This week we're going 2 hours into the period of time from the late 90s to the early 2000s. I've tried to pick bands that were of that era, and are now defunct, but you'll probably notice a few bands that are going strong all these years later. I hope you enjoy this stroll down memory lane!

A much better week than last, so I'm here with a show for you! I've made some progress on the upcoming theme show, the list of tracks has made it from my phone to my computer. The tracks picked came out to an even number, so I can use everything without making any cuts. The one hint I'll give away is we're looking at a timeframe from the late 90s to the early aughts. This week we've got a great show for everyone as I put a few discs to bed and play some more new stuff!

So my vacation didn't come off as I expected. I had a very, very large flare up of my anxiety disorder so I made the smart decision and stayed home rather be in distress while visiting friends. Its not the first time its happened, so I'm going to put a pause on overnight flights and multiple time zones. William Gibson once wrote that flying allowed us to travel faster than our souls, and it usually takes ~18 hours for them to catch up. But I'm much better now, almost back to normal, so what better way to celebrate than put out...

Getting psyched to get the heck outta here for a few days, crossing my T's and dotting my I's, and while doing so I was listening to stuff and the outlines of an idea for a theme show were formed. I'm still in the planning stages, but I think we'll have something special when I come back for the 21st.

I'm actually getting everything posted nice and early this week because I got up for my club Bike ride, and while I was in the shower it was cancelled due to the impending first heatwave of the year. While this is kids stuff compared to some places, I'm going to agree that cycling in temperatures including humidity reaching 43c (thats 110 in Freedom Units) is not a good idea. Discretion is the better part of valour and all that. But since I'm up nice and early I figured I'd get the show posted and have a cup of tea as I contemplate breakfast. Elektrostaub - Falling f.

A beautiful weekend, so I made myself go for a walk and enjoy the sunshine before I posted the show this week. A small reminder that I'll be taking my last week of "vacation" from RSA shortly. So we'll be missing the July 14th episode as I bask in the sun in Scotland. Unlike a couple of years ago I'm not being an idiot and bringing my computer with me. I'm allowed to take a break, and I have to leave you wanting more!

I actually made it out and got some sun this weekend. This of course left me crashed out on the couch for a bit, and then a little bird whispered in my ear "Oi! Dork! You have a radio show to post!" So before I go and hunt down some food lets get RSA up for everyone to enjoy! This week while doing my "proof-listening" session I scrapped and re-did a bit of the show.

Ontario weather struck again, and while its nice and sunny, its downright cold in the small town I grew up in. So the weekend trip of nostalgia and family duties will have to wait until the end of the summer. But that just means that I have extra time this weekend, so RSA is out at the usual time! I doubt we'll be going back to the old "Summer Hours" where I'd post the show on Mondays. I don't live in the saddle anymore, so I have time for all of my various hobbies! Now who wants to import a Jonsbo N5 computer case or two into Canada so I can save some space! Great show this week with some new and some returning names!

We follow up our DJ A to Z episode by talking with deep house juggernaut DJ 35X.  We learn about his process for creating his songs, his use of artificial intelligence to make that vision a reality, and we take a tour of the DJ 35X Universe and the many fake bands that live there.

A quick heads up that I'm already hard at work on next weeks show. I'm going to be away most of next weekend, so I'm trying to get everything done ahead of time. Fingers crossed that I can get everything done on time (and its looking good) and I can just get home on Sunday evening and hit "Publish". Its been a good week though, having the extra time to myself meant I could listen to more music. While I can do that while working, I'll "lose" time where my attention is 100% on work, and then have to figure out how far back to go to restart. I just wish the weather had been better. I quite enjoy sitting on my balcony with my headphones. Still too windy. Still too rainy.

A gray overcast day makes sense while we in Canada celebrate our ever increasingly anarchonistic holiday "Victoria Day". Traditionally this is known as the May two four weekend. Two four being common slang for a case of beer. While I don't really drink anymore, I'll be going out to resupply my stock of Root Beer, as I seem to have slightly regressed a bit back into childhood.

Managed to get some cycling in this weekend, so I get to spend Sunday morning lamenting the lack of exercise I've done in the past few months and get RSA complete! I'm going to take another week off some time in July as I take a vacation of some sort, but we'll burn that bridge when we get to it. A happy Mother's day to those that celebrate at this time of year. I always make sure to call my Mom if I can't visit. I mean, she's on the membership Friends of RSA! Have a great week and enjoy this weeks show!
