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."

Friday I'm In Love: New Releases for November 11.14.25

An embarrassment of riches this November! Bands and musicians know that the end of the year is the best time to release their music, because music is a gift! This month I went overtime trying to fit in as many quality tunes as possible. Please search out these bands on Bandcamp, itunes and wherever the bands actually get paid from your purchasing their music. Because without music, life would be a mistake.
 
Friday I'm In Love can be heard live on the second and fourth Fridays at 6pm Pacific time. We always chat at www.facebook.com/groups/eardrumbuzzradio.

The Comforts of Madness Episode 14 (11.14.25)

For this Episode of The Comforts of Madness host Rob Levy spans decades of should-be-better-known acts (some of my favorite bands are included here) and some excellent new releases. We get a long-lost song from The Stone Roses' first single (sounding way different than their debut), a new song from The Charlatans, Sonic Youth's Kim Gordon as Ciccone Youth channeling Madonna, legends Depeche Mode and The Cure and new music from Hatchie, Moondaddy and The Cords. Rob Levy knows his stuff!
 
The Comforts of Madness is new on the first and third Saturdays at 7am and 6pm PST at www.eardrumbuzz.net
