It's time to get this blog going again. UMFM now automatically uploads my show onto their server so that you fine folks can enjoy the program via podcast. So I'll be posting links to my show and playlists here on a weekly basis. If all of a sudden I feel like doing more (admittedly, this is unlikely to happen) you may find even more stuff here. But in the meantime enjoy my program from yesterday. I spent the entire time celebrating the wonderful Chicago-based collective AACM (the Association for the Advancement of Creative Musicians). If you want even more on AACM, check out Alexander Hawkins' excellent piece on them here.
In the meantime enjoy my program here.
