sid smith's postcards from the yellow room: podcasts from the yellow room II

here's a lovely pic of sid's digs up in whitley bay.



hot on the heels of his first podcast of wonder and loveliness, sid has banged out a second podcast from "the yellow room" and it's a real doozy!! Sid Smith's Postcards From The Yellow Room: Podcasts From The Yellow Room II

here's the playlist for those of you who are "unsure" . . . just a "heads-up" - where the first podcast could be listened to as a sonic accompaniment to an evening of "wish i had wish i was wish i could (pensive, reflective, thoughtful music) . . . " this one drags you full-tilt, full-blast to experience first-hand that space between your synapses when they are on manic overload and then just as quickly drops you squarely into a gorgeous tone-poem that creates a huge and detailed space on piano and violin. "i buy silence" ratchets it up a notch again with some power-pop edged music and then into a beautiful piece by the (unknown to me) valgeir sigurdsson who crafts a space populated by glitch and drum machine and toy piano. finally into a lovely melancholy piece with accordian and voice occupying the middle-space.
