There are a lot of great flavors on this weeks song. We start off hot and streamy, get a bit frazzled in the middle and wrap it up with a cool minty finish. In that way it’s like drinking hot car wax poured over a mint chocolate chip sundae... hmmmm hot car wax!

I seriously can’t take this wacky fall weather here in Brooklyn. It’s absolutely freezing one days and then suddenly it’s like we’re on the surface of The Sun. That statement has nothing to do with nothing. Here’s a bunch of old songs I like arranged in on particular order.

UPDATE: There was a problem with this week’s episode. I fixed it.
Just Me and you this week as I try to clear my plate of new albums… New Danger Mouse, Mos Def, Blank Dogs, Rainbow Arabia, Fever Ray and YACHT. Phew! I barely have time in this episode for the theme song.

Welcome to a new feature here on Enthusiastic Amateur. We’re going to start doing little mini podcast usually centered around one band, one song or one album. It’s not going to be an every week thing but we’ll do it on a time to time basis. This first edition is dedicated to Brian Eno’s seminal 1973 album “Here Come The Warm Jets”.

Listen to this episodeThis week I’ve got a couple of new songs and a whole bunch of prog rock at the back half of the show. I’ve also got a mild cast of swine flu so don’t get too close to the speakers. It’s making me no fun so this is sort of a bare bones, right down to brass tacks kind of show. I don’t really know what that means. Is anyone even reading this? Enjoy. Merci.

Again I find myself all alone in the Enthusiastic Amateur studio with my Coors and pulled pork sandwich (Shout out to Kings County BBQ, best in NYC). No matter, we’ll have friends next week. For this week I’ve crammed together a bunch of songs I love. No order and no theme. If pushed on it, and clearly you are going to push, I’d say the first half is an eclectic mix with some avand-garde, some garage rock from Japan some Jazz and a little of the (relatively) new Animal Collective. The second half has a few new bands and some classic tracks from the last few years. After the regimentation of The Rece$$ion Mix I was ready to just cut loose a bit. Merci.
