When's the last time I posted two "vintage" episodes back to back? I think... never? Well here we are. Turns out the holiday season stays busy right up until the holiday. Beyond daily life my "recreational" listening has been mostly consumed with rallying the usual year end lists, so I think you can expect a couple of semi-fresh episodes to round out the year. For now though, episode 005, again from the halcyon days of 2004/2005. Remember? Enjoy.

It's been more than a year since we've posted a "vintage" episode, but the various time consuming year end obligations make this as good a time as any to indulge. So here is one from the vaults, episode 004 from way back when. When? Well around 2004 / 2005 roughly. Enjoy.

Bill Orcutt has a kind of bifurcated musical history. Having started as co-founder of 90s noise rock outfit Harry Pussy, he took a very extended leave from playing and recording until the late 00s when his current run began. Though he has a greater variety of outlets and modes, we've stuck to his most recent guitar work taken from his own Palilalia Records on which his most recent, Another Perfect Day, was just released. He is this week's spotlight artist.

Jesy Fortino is not a tremendously prolific artist. That is why every new recording under her alias as Tiny Vipers or in collaboration with artists like Grouper, Balmorea, or The Sight Below feels like a gift. On her newest album, Tormentor, she returns to the spare acoustic sound that defined her early work. She is this week's spotlight artist.
