Klezmer!

This is a somewhat delayed posting of my klezzie set. Klezmer is eastern European Jewish music, which in the U.S. blended with jazz music in the 1920s-1940s, and then helped spawn surf music. In its more recent revival, it has crosspollinated with other genres from hip-hop to reggae to new age elevator music. I neglected to include any new age elevator music in my set :P.

Fracture Radio is back up....

Hey, gang! Just letting you know that the Fracture Radio outage starting at 2:40am this morning has been resolved with a little help from our malevolent net overlords at Time Warner. Full service has been restored.

All 2 of you listening can tune back in. <3

(thanks to pyroclastichawk for the image - if I was a computer, I'd look like that every morning!)

This post is the size of Tokyo

So, I was irresponsible last time, and didnt post my set. I can hear you now- "why foley?? why would you DO THIS TO ME??"

Well, my friend, to make up for it, I have made giant mp3 files, zipped them up, sent to sendspace, and said 1000 hail whatevers.

So without further ado, I give you my last two sets. The files contain one loooong file, but you can request individual tracks and, while I would neeever do aaanything illegal, some kind of "arrangement" might be hypothetically reached. You know, in theory.
