Transmusic Airwaves (Episode #297) - December 7, 2018 - with Paul Ciminero (host)

They say the hardest part is 'getting started' and surely that was the case while trying to assemble this weeks TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (Episode #297). I spent countless hours fidgeting over the first set before it fell into place and four days on, had barely finished the first hour. Then suddenly, like the fog and clouds surrounding Northern Ohio this time of year, it all disappeared and the ensuing clarity allowed me to finish the chore at hand. I believe you'll like the results too! More NEW selections are heard from THE BEATLES ( the White Album Esher Demos), RICHARD THOMPSON, DEAD CAN DANCE, BRIAN ENO, NENEH CHERRY, and also added this week are two new finds by PETER BLEGVAD and SUFJAN STEVENS. From the 'vault' you'll hear vintage DEVO, HATFIELD & THE NORTH, CAPTAIN BEEFHEART, SYD BARRETT, and STEVE HACKETT. There's music from international artists D'GARY, VARTTINA, and RADIO TARIFA, jazz from HAL WILNER'S 'Mingus – Weird Nightmare' album and AL DIMEOLA, and acoustic stylings from SPECK MOUNTAIN and DAVID CROSBY. Add to all that a number of 'covers' including BILL FRISELL covering The Beatles and CAMPER VAN BEETHOVEN interpreting Pink Floyd's 'Interstellar Overdrive.' WENDY CARLOS and THE FLYING LIZARDS both covering Burt Bacarach's “What's New Pussycat,' and the KRONOS QUARTET literally does 'the Funky Chicken' for string quartet.
