MLFM episode #20: Spotlight: Macedonia



Relaxing, Quirky, Timeless.

Words to describe this podcast...fun. The music was fun to find, the podcast mix that my brother in podcasting, Jason Smith aka Macedonia put together was right on the money.

When recording this podcast it hit me on how to describe my podcast to anyone and in a way this is how I describe Jason Smith aka Macedonia's podcast shows. You can't put a finger on his podcasts...he finds the coolest and many times off the cuff music, public service announcements (PSA) to intertwine into his shows. He finds music that I know will not be played on today's radio and his commentary of life in general I wish I could bottle it and sell it because I would be a billionaire.

MyLoveForMusic Episode #21: Spotlight - Atomic Skunk

Here it is 2011 and it seems I have known Rich Brodsky for many years. It's one thing to listen to an musician's work and admire them but when you get a chance to chat with them about the process of their work and then see it come to light it's a blessing. I came across Rich's work (aka Atomic Skunk) music back in 2009 when we first met on Twitter. I have to admit, when you listen to music like myself and a musician post a link to their site to check out their work you kinda shrug your shoulders and hope it's not a hot mess. When Rich posted a link to his music I have to admit, his music made my jaw drop. "Binary Scenes" was the type of music I had been missing in my music life for a while. His music took me back to when I first began listening to sound scape/new age back in the early 90s.
