There's great music on the Internet that's available at the click of a mouse. Lots of imaginative, wonderful music has been made available free by its creators, just so it can be heard. Host David Garland has been filling his hard drive with some obscure treasures, and offers some of the best on this show, with links so you can get the songs yourself. There's great stuff by groups you probably haven't heard before, but will probably want to hear again: Golden Ball, Shapes and Sizes, Au Revoir Simone, The Physics of Meaning, W-S Burn, and The Weird Weeds. The centerpiece of the program is "Seven New Songs of Mount Eerie," a beautiful suite of songs about the woods, thoughtfulness, and what braids might say if they could sing, by Phil Elvrum, a guy eloquently connected to his unique muse.
