This week's podcast is brought to you by the letters "N" and "O." As in "no new music again!"

This week's episode is brought to you by the letter "M." The usual process of assembling a new show is gathering interesting tracks over the period of two weeks between shows... lately usually from Bandcamp posts. This week, in a moment of bone-headedness I deleted the current folder of tracks thinking it was the old one... leaving me without anything to mix. So.
Concurrently I am in the process, undertaken periodically, of listening through my collection of music... my physical collection of music... to refine and eliminate titles that seem superfluous, making room for new albums. Ongoing. In the part of the collection that relates to Surgery I am in the "M"s.
Doing the show this way is weirdly nostalgic. In previous years it would always be put together from CDs. Compact Discs that I'd get as play copies and ones I'd buy. These days I still buy CDs... I'm too poor and space limited for vinyl and too old for cassettes... and the increasing number of labels that don't support the format is a little troubling. But maybe it's a blessing. Music I don't feel compelled to buy? No it's sad. I still feel compelled to buy... Sigh.
Enjoy the show... the oldest track is from the Roy Montgomery album I bought second hand from a fine (CD only) store in Montreal that no longer exists. The newest (to me) is from the MKWAJU ensemble album, originally released in 1981 and recently reissue by the wonderful We Release Whatever The Fuck We Want label.
