Look at the setlist..just look at it. We went all over the music map this week. We had a lot of fun. We checked out some new stuff, and God forbid we Danced! Of course the theme was Guest Artists. Thanks to everyone who played along with me in getting this one together. There were some big surprises for me and hopefully there will be for you all too. Also of note, new artists Underground Orchestra, New Peter Frampton, Miracle Train, Scissor Sisters, and ELO remaster outtakes.
Next week we transport you back to the year 1985. I was a junior in highschool, where were you? Please send me your requests and ideas for great bands and music from 1985. Prog was not dead in the 80s, just poppier!

The problem with a topic such as this one is a problem with time. There was no way to do justice to any one set or idea unless I did a whole show for each. Nevertheless we covered some ground. For those who are wondering more about the music therapy things that I try to discuss in an all too short period, I will be offering some information on my Blog this week. www.myspace.com/soundscape42 In the meantime this show offers new music from the Rocket Scientists, Manning, and Michael Garfield as well as some nice sets of music reflecting the various emotions music can create within us. I hope you enjoy what is offered and I always look forward to your feedback.
For something less cerebral, I will be host DJing the time slot for Epic Prog this Friday night (6-9 Pacific, 9-12 Eastern) as Lurker will be off exploring various alterations of consciousness. I think He said something about Float tanks and Vitamin K, but I am just not sure that he wanted to talk about it. So Suzi and I will regale you all with a spontaneous out of the box Soundscape experience that you will hopefully all enjoy. There will be drinking and debauchery so...come hither ye masses.
And Now for Something Completely Different! Next Weeks theme I am calling Owls Nest. Basically Owls Nest will be a set of music that has eluded us. I know you have all had the experience of hearing something and then searching forever for the name, or the artist. You caught a glimpse on the radio, you were at a bar, you were at a music store etc. but you could not discover what the song was without some considerable effort over time. As a music seller, I get the question often..Do you have that song that goes... (customer sings offkey and frighteningly mimics said song). In my own life, my sonic explorations often fall into the "OMG what is that, I have got to have more" category. I welcome your input and stories for what is sure to be a very strange ride.

****Next Week: Owls Nest: The Music That Has Evaded You****
Well as I figured there are more Weather songs than you can possibly imagine. Not only did I feel like I was turning down requests left and right but I also did not get all I had put together in the space I had. So we went from Sunny, to Cloudy, to Thunder and Lightning, and into Torrential downpours. Still to come is snow, freeze, tornado, hurricane, etc. All the tragedies will happen next week. If you placed a request it and it is not here it will probably make it into next weeks show. It looks like even if I just said rain was the theme I would have been overwhelmed with possibilities, but I like having options so its all good. Also new music this week from The Reasoning, Lamine Toure (a Sengalese drumming group), Fluttr Effect (complete with giveaway), Steve Hackett, John Young, and Anthropia. Also you will hear Suzi and I's wedding songs as it is our 7 year anniversary. It's all being shot into the archive folder right now by a trained monkey cannon operator, so grab it when it cools down. Meanwhile I will have to go get some bananas.

I know I have been saying this for a while now, but what an amazing thing music can be. I came in from a terrible day at work as you will here on the archive, but the folks in chat, and the music that was played totally cleared up my mood. Hopefully it will do the same for you. This was part 2 of our series "Enjoy the Weather" We traveled, and travailed through thunder, lightning, Icy Rains, Snow, Storms, Hurricane, and finally reached Blue Skies. What was that saying...neither rain nor sleet nor...can stop the Soundscape (Can't stop the Signal). Other goodies you will find on board, a tribute to my friend Shawn O'neil for his birthday, more of the fabulous new Rocket Scientists and Erik Norlander live, lots of interesting requests, and a Widespread Panic covers Talking Heads closer, City of Dreams (like a breath of fresh air).
Next week it's Progoween. For many years now I have been creating Halloween cd's for my friends Halloween parties and next week you will get to hear some of the fruits of those efforts. Having joined the DLBN, I have discovered quite a few progressive and spooky new tunes that will surely have you tossing and turning in your seats. Plus all sorts of halloween trivia. If you have a favorite Haloweeny sort of song, feel free to let me know. There are bound to be tons of things that I have missed. Until then keep on progging! And if you can't get enough and need more great tunes, drop into some of the other great shows here at Dividingline. We have 2 new shows on Mondays: Queen for a Day with Dave P, and Epic Concepts with Dana. Or you can just drop in on Under the Radar with Winkler and give him well wishes as he recovers from his date with appendicitis. See you all next week!

37 Shows down the line and I have quite a bevy of left over material that just has not made it off of my playlist for a while. Funny that, it was a catching up show but I only played maybe 5 songs from my backlog. Nevertheless there were some highlights to the show and overall it turned out to be a rather eclectic set. We have a set of music from Ozit Records who recently released material from String Driven Thing and Tractor. There is also a jam session from the String Cheese Incident 4/7/05 show, check out the last 3 songs, they will force you from your seat and into the nearest boogie you can find. Next week will be dinner and a movie. Dinner will be obvious, that will be songs about food, so if you have any special dietary requests please drop me a note and I will ammend the menu as need be. The movie part will have to be a surprise as I no more know what this is than a dingo knows the history of the east india company. Your thoughts are always welcome and my thanks to you for listening.

This weeks show is a little chaotic. Perhaps that echoes the fact that I work in retail and I am running around like a madman every work day. Nevertheless there are some nuggets to filter out of things. Our Jam session this week gives us a taste of the Warren Haynes Christmas Jam (although I did not actually have any music from any of the jams, I improvised). We also have the top 10 christmas wishes for a progfan, and some christmas tunes as well. Please feel free to drop me a line and let me know what you think.
Next week, I am unsure if i will be on the air. Suzi's parents will be here and we want to spend as much time with them as possible. However, If Jerry (Suzi's Father) wants to go on with me, then the theme will be prog does classical. As a classical fan I feel sure that this may entice him to hop on the air with me.
Regardless of these things, I would like to wish you all best wishes for your holidays. You have all made my last 9 months full of joy. I am an amatuer DJ again, and next year should usher in some new surprises for us all. So Merry Christmas, Joyeux Noel, Jombo, Shalom, Happy Solstice, May your days get Brighter and your new year be full of great things, and portents of mystery.

In honor of my Father in Law's presence here during the Holidays I chose to play a show devoted to the classical side of prog. Jerry has been a listener for quite some time and has developed a taste for some of what we play here at the DLBN. This evening focused on Progresives rock use of strings, and Classical interpretations of Progressive Rock. This is by no means a complete catalog, but it does give a nice feel for the ways in which rock uses classical instruments and classical sequences in newfound and progressive ways. We end the show with a Jam session from The Grateful Dead on 5/15/70 the late show, which is just a snippet of a 7 disc set re-energized by the love of some true fans who brought this show back from the abyss. If you enjoy this piece let me know and I will get more of it up here. Also included is a rare Jon Anderson cut from Charlie Bisharat's 1993 album Along the Amazon. I hope you all Enjoy and Happy New Year to you all.

****Next week- Jam Session with String Cheese Incident, New music, White Album Outtakes, Happy New Year ****
Welcome to the first show of 2007 from your friendly neighborhood Soundscape. Amongst the frivolity you will here a dazzling display of dj dexterity as I play with my new mic and mixing board. I am sure there is a lot to learn about good sound production and such but I will just have to stumble in the dark until I find the right light switch. However when the music does play, the treasures arrive in full force. Some very rare material from acoustic duo Pruett and Davis starts our set, a couple of Brazilian prog bands, New music from the Progrock Records Label, a jam session from String Cheese Incident's Summer Travelogue, and a set of ad hock new years resolutions just to show that I am still festive. I was not able to get the White Album Outtakes this week unfortunately. I believe that tape has degraded some over time, besides you can Rely on Rene for that sort of sampling. Next week we will take you on a journey through Space Rock and Early Psychedelia. If you have ideas of what should fall into this little set I would love to hear from you. Until that time, Happy New Year, May you hear great music, meet wonderful folks, and be prosperous in your endeavors througout this year of 2007.

****Next Week: Space Rock, more new music, more cassette rareities****
Well after last weeks masterpiece, I wanted to create the same kind of flow. However, when you try to recreate magic, sometimes things do not go as planned. Some of my favorite new pieces of music are in this mix, but due to an experiment to mix them around thay are not as highlighted as I would like. The new bands are Cannata, Tinyfish, Galahad, and Sylvan. The show starts with an archival Genesis set from 1972, and also contains some rare work by Sting. I had promised a top 5 this week, but last year had so much good music to enjoy that I did not want to rate or even offer them side by side, so amidst the mix I added my top 5 tunes/bands of last year. So next week I will attempt to return to form. The theme will be Cats and Dogs. Yes I have done animals before but not the domestic variety and I have a lot of stuff to offer in that vein. I will also have a special set of music from George Hrab and many other new goodies. Feel free to contact me with your requests. I missed quite a few this week but that was due to not having the material that was requested. For those who are out there waiting, I will keep looking for what I missed.

Sure the show aired at an earlier time, but we still pulled together a lot of great and interesting music. The math theme, as you will see, pulled together very well. Plus we have great new music from the Blue Man Group of Prog...Von Frickle! Within the Jam session you will discover new band Underground Orchestra, as well as pieces from the new "Band" tribute cd Endless Highway. Plus some choice cuts from the newest Grateful Dead Vault Release "Live at the Cow Palace, New Years Eve 1976" (This is one of the spaciest and most exploratory Playing in the Band versions I think I have ever heard- sonic bliss). We round it all out with another Hrab spot, and some choice cuts of more recent prog.
The show itself will hit the archive this evening, but look for show notes tomorrow evening with all kinds of extras for you to bite into.
Next week we will be showcasing music that explorers the indigenous peoples of the America's. That would be Toltec, Aztec, Maya, Yaqui, Native Americans, Inuit, Eskimo, and any one else that I missed. If you know of great prog songs that explore these peoples, drop me a line and let me know. I have quite a few in mind, but I am sure that all you out there in the vast audio radience can turn me on to the things that I would not catch. Also look out for new Motet, Blind Ego, and who knows what other surprises will lay in store on the next Soundscape.

****Next week- Some continuation of Floyd, and a week off of themes. Requests are Welcome****
Thats right this week we are themeless in Kennesaw once again, but that simply means that there is room for a ton of great music that you are going to throughly enjoy. This week marks the soundscape debuts of Dial, Kite, Speechless, Imogene, Amorak, The Reasoning, and Touchstone. All of these guys are amazing new additions to the library here. I will leave the webpages and pertinent info in this weeks blog which should hit the shelf by tomorrow this time, if not before.
Next week we are back to our themeing. This time around we will follow this question: What does prog music have to say about God and the Great Beyond? What bands intone spirituality within their lyrics? This however does not have to mean that we will follow any particular theology. Prog like any other music is a mirror of our own lives, it speaks to our philosophies that we follow, and it most definitely makes a number of statements about metaphysics, and transpersonal experiences. So you as listener and follower of the show please send me your favorite songs and artists who speak to these concepts.
Next week we will also have a few new bands to keep your appetite whetted!

****Next week- Springscape: What are your favorite Spring Songs? Drop me a line at woody@thedividingline.com
It turns out that Spring is hard to put in musical terms, but the attempt was made. Special thanks to those people who suggested theme material. I know this one was a tough one. Maybe we will have better luck next week as I attempt Earthscape. The theme for this show lines up with the upcoming Earthday, so send me your ideas for songs that speak to the environment and the politics involved. I know there are quite a lot, but I need input from you folks. I like the group effort involved. I like to keep you thinking.
Speaking of which, a more in depth theme approaches and I am giving you all extra time to think about this one. The theme is songs with a tempo that is contradictory to the nature of the song. Upbeat songs that are sad, down tempo songs that are happy, angry songs that sound like lullabies.
I hope you will enjoy this weeks show: Thanks for listening and see ya next week,
