Daylight Savings and some other S

I brought my friend Matt Steinberg in the station today. He's a homie, otherwise he wouldn't be here. I'm new to this blogging thing, I never know quite what to say, but I'm gonna do something new and highlight a couple of the song and artists I played today.

Here Goes:

Adron
Adrienne McCann, under the stage name Adron plays 60s Brazilian Tropicàlia music, just her and a guitar. The music stays unpredictable, with whispers, harmonies, and even some obscure noises thrown in that you wouldn't expect. String Song for instance, has the faint sound of waves and a woodpecker. The music is peaceful and should be enjoyed while laying in a hammock watching clouds pass overhead. She's originally from Atlanta, but has since moved to New York. Her music is released on New Street Records, based out of Georgia.

Matthew Herbert Big Band


This guy is huge. He's a master of sampling and recording non musical sound and making something magical. He's produced records for a huge list of artists, including Bjork, REM, Yoko Ono. But enough about that. His music, mannn. I played the song Knowing, which was described in the liner notes "100 people from around the world singing one word each. 70 simultaneous text messages." It really needs to be heard to be understood. The beginning is smoothly strung together, and the second half with the text messages, is simply erie and omniscient. His music is on Accidental Records.
