I made this mix for my friend Jessie who is in Australia. It’s mostly just songs I really like, but also kind of a strange mix of songs that are for summer time (which it is there) and songs for winter time (which it is here). So we’ll all just feel a little unseasonal sometimes I guess. It starts real quiet, so if you think it’s not playing, you’re probably wrong. Just wait, crabapple.
Adam and the Amethysts / “Dreaming”
Neko Case / “I’m An Animal”
Forest Fire / “Future Shadows”
Made In Heights / “Viices”
OG Melody / “OG Realness”
Air Review / “H”
Pat Jordache / “Radio Generation”
Fool’s Gold / “Surprise Hotel”
S.E. Rogie / “Please Go Easy With Me”
Bry Webb / “Undertaker”
And if I could gather my thoughts, I would awe all of you with my insight and deep deep…depth. I would kiss all of you with my unfathomable words of love and encouragement, and make the 1% experience remorse. I would change minds, change sleep patterns, change weather patterns, change diapers with my mind-blowing wealth of knowledge. I would allow all of you into this treacherous never-ending chasm of stomach churning blood chilling stream of consciousness I call my brain, or sometimes I call it my dome, but most of the time it’s my brain. But instead I must carry this weight on my own shoulders, in heavy silence, down these rainy streets and unraked alleys, until the day I can find a pen.
Late on a Sunday night after a rare November day in the sun…

This week I decided to play the entirety of Dick Gregory’s The Light Side, The Dark Side, which is a speech he gave at Southampton College in 1969. In the first half of the record he talks about how organizing mass boycotts of products will get the capitalists to listen to the people – an idea that is especially relevant today.

There’s a bit of Laurie Anderson’s live performance of Stories from the Nerve Bible that finishes up the show as well.
The Jimbo Show is now on Sundays from 8-10 PM PST! What a great way to start a week. This week’s episode is a bit scattered, as I was preparing to head to Dallas for a week-long solar conference and I was nervous about it. Maybe you can tell, and maybe you can’t.
