Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center6-28-25 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of CenterGreetings! This show took a while to assemble due to technical difficulties, requiring me to please stand by. I now have a new computer on order and have managed to coerce this one to be a bit more cooperative for right now. On board, lots of new releases, an older Jah Wobble track and a couple of things I concocted in my basement lair. Enjoy!

Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center2-8-25 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - - Mad Libs: acoustic instrument & non-instrumentGreetings! I treated this episode of PTE as if I were filling in required words needed to complete a Mad Libs, a word game that might be categorized as a phrasal template game. In order to create today's playlist, the compositions required the inclusion of an acoustic instrument & a non-instrument such as electronics, tape, digital delay, computer, etc. Enjoy!

Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left Center12-28-24 Pushing The Envelope: Music Decidedly Left of Center - SolsticeGreetings! The winter solstice, or hibernal solstice, occurs when either of Earth's poles reaches its maximum tilt away from the sun. This happens twice yearly, once in each hemisphere. For that hemisphere, the winter solstice is the day with the shortest period of daylight and longest night of the year, and when the Sun is at its lowest daily maximum elevation in the sky. With the winter solstice having occurred on December 21st and the advent of winter, it seemed appropriate to play music addressing these topics. Enjoy! Joel e-ma...2025-01-161h 59
