Listening to this makes me think I'll switch to Crystal Radio for a while. At least  until my headache's gone!🐨

Four Tet must be a pseudonym for B.J. Leiderman.

Holy cow ! I just thought, I should turn on NPR and this came one. I was very confused.

 Now that Tom Ashbrook is GONE! LOL!
 
Franky, I couldn't stand the guy, always interrupting expert-speaker guests with his inane and really dumb questions. I was always thinking, "Dude. Don't you do any research whatsoever?" WBUR/ NPR's "On Point" is so much better now without him.

Too bad the Connection and On Point don't both go away. Actually I have listened to both so that I know what the Dems talking points are. The On Point host give a big "Uh huh" every time a guest or caller makes a point that follows the party line. And that Jack Beady — has anyone ever figured out who he is? He is always introduced as "and here is our own Jack Beady" and asked to weigh in on the topic and counter whatever slightly conservative argument might have been poised. Why aren't we told who Jack is and where he is from? He is brought forward as some sort of expert, and yet his credentials are never mentioned! I guess this is one of those forever unsolved mysteries.

 
Oh, what an interesting comment from my "12 year ago self"! I'm glad I wasn't a time traveler back then to see how the media has devolved since then! In this day of fake news, white nationalists and antifa, Tom Ashbrook is looking more centrist by the day. I still listen to his show almost daily, and he still gives me insight to how the old school leftists think. I still hear Christopher Lydon every once in awhile on Boston NPR radio, but he definitely sounds like a relic from the 60s. On Point is still very relevant though.

I love Nirvana and Kurt Cobain but he's the meat puppet pushing up daisies. This song rocks.

Tom Ashbrook? That was unnerving. Can you follow this with that Ry Cooder tune from The World?
Posted 12 years ago by h0n0rb    [ Reply ]
Couldn't figure out how iTunes had jumped from RP into a podcast. Then I realized it hadn't. Really weird to hear this in the different context.
Posted 12 years ago by jukes1    [ Reply ]
Can't hear this for the music, waiting for the radio show to start.

Never heard it here before...

Dubstep?

I like - though for a second I thought this was NPR - the local station uses this song as it's program theme.
 

Actually it's a nationwide call-in show called "The Story" and I always wondered where this track came from. Great show too.

Love this track! Great to hear Four Tet getting some airplay. The whole 'Pause' album is fantastic - highly recommend it to all people interested in quirky electronica.
  I second this- the album is well worth buying.

And if you get a chance to see him live (because the stage show I saw was just him- standing on stage with two laptops), do go- utterly amazing music.

Too busy.  All the different pieces seem to be just barely not quite in sync... 5 for effort.

I like Múm and Tunng. Wikipedia also mentions Juana Molina and Beth Orton in their article about folktronica; I wouldn't think of them as folktronica, but I like them, too.

is this really a single song?, it sounds like the drum track from another song overlayed.

Why should he? I mean, mainstream media is totally funded and filled with conservatives, but they aren't required to show their pedigree all the time. In fact, they are presented as the "middle" heh.
