Today marks the third installment of another archive gem from the 'vault' as I re-release TRANSMUSIC AIRWAVES (#149) my 'Best Of 2015' year end special from a program which originally aired on December 25, 2015 on SFCR (San Francisco Community Radio). On it I’ll play my favorite picks from 2015 and include a homage to those who have passed away during the year.
You’ll hear music from Robert Plant, Naytronix, Archie and the Bunkers, Wilco, Ray Sammartano, VietCong, Alexandre Desplat, Wire, Quilt, Calexico, Rhiannon Giddens, Modest Mouse, Sufjan Stevens, Laurie Anderson and much more. I’ll pay tribute to Daevid Allen, Clark Terry, John Renbourn, Edgar Froese, and several others who have left us in 2015.
