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.
1. the power of myth by omar rodriguez lopez
2. a letter from the front by david cross & naomi maki
3. i buy silence by the david cross band
4. focal point by valgeir sigurdsson
5. has been cavalry by jon boden

Brilliant post sir, If I was bit more technically inclined I might try that podcast!. Say, Steven, do you read alot of books?
OK, Steven. You got me with this one. I'm going to head on over to Sid's site.
Interesting! Didn't much care for "II", but I liked numbers "I" and "III" well enuf to add his site to my favorites list.
He's got quite a setup there, doesn't he?
