Friday I'm In Love: Post-Punk

Here is about three hours of music, from at least six hours compiled, of songs that fall under the Post Punk genre. You'll find new groups, old groups and, hopefully some songs you know and love and some that you will love after hearing on this show.
 
Friday I'm In Love can usually be heard on the second and fourth Fridays at 6pm Pacific time.
 
According to Wikipedia: Post-punk musicians departed from punk's fundamental elements and raw simplicity, adopting instead a broader, more experimental approach that incorporated a variety of avant-garde sensibilities and non-rock influences. Inspired by punk's energy and DIY ethic but determined to move beyond rock clichés, artists drew influence from German krautrock and experimented with styles such as funk, electronic music, jazz, and dance music; the production techniques of dub and disco; and ideas from modernist art, cinema, literature, and politics.

Orchid Mantis Guest DJ Show

Thomas Howard, aka Orchid Mantis is an artist in Atlanta, Georgia but his music could be from anywhere, made at any time in the past 35 years.
Howard's music is lush, layered, textured, lovely and full of longing.
The music he's chosen for his guest DJ show is insightful, genre-defying, delightful and emotional.
 
The music on In Airports is all Howard, except for a few guest vocals and instruments. His second full length in his ten year career is In Airports and the inspiration came from his being stuck in an airport for a week, unable to return home.
"A few years ago I found myself stuck in an airport for about a week, spending every day walking around the terminals, watching people come and go. I'd always liked the transient feeling of temporary spaces like that. Being there for such a long time didn't detract from the magic, it only strengthened it. For almost a week, I had no purpose or goals beyond waiting for my flight. I didn't have to do anything, or change anything. Thinking back, I'm not sure I fully wanted it to end.
I think a lot of people live their life in airports. Stuck, waiting for something just over the horizon. Travelers come into their life, and leave when the time is right, but they just keep waiting. I've had a lot of conversations recently about agency and preserving your passions. About not letting yourself drift. Living with a purpose, and avoiding that sense of complacency that creeps in as you age. There's so much we can't control. So much so that it can blind us to how easily we could change. Tomorrow, you could catch that flight. You could go anywhere. You could be a new person. You could leave the airport.
Where does the time go? Everywhere."
