Episode 105 - Ontology (Hauntology pt1)

Another of my favorite styles of music. Its like being in a Jess Franco film, that ends with the a visit to the hotel from the Shining, as most hauntology music is based around these concepts.  I love this genre, both old and new artists keeping that nostalgic and weird feeling alive.

Episode 104 - A hint of hope in every cry of desperation

Some standards and popular tunes in this mix.  I got into blues music through Stevie Ray Vaughan first, as I am a guitarist and was trying to learn some of his songs.  Then through Led Zeppelin, when I found out many of their songs were covers or loose interpretations of classics.  I also recall reading an interview of David Tibet (Current 93) where he expressed appreciation of Blind Willie Johnson, Charlie Patton, and a focus on Delta Blues.  Can't fail to mention the PBS Ken Burns documentary on the Blues. The more I opened myself up to the blues, the more I enjoyed the classics.  I never really found enjoyment in the more modern styles that seemed to be appearing in bars and small concert halls I came across, but those did draw a good crowd.  As expected, these are very old recordings and the sound quality is rough in some places.  That is part of the charm for me.
