The other music

Hello and welcome to another special edition of the PB Podcast. Today we explore what I’ll call “the other music”, music I listen to that usually does not appear on the regular podcast. This is music that my wife yells at me for playing, so I’ve pretty much eliminated it from the podcast (although not entirely).

So today we explore some of that music. We start with Tin Huey, described in the AllMusic Guide as “punk-pop with touches of free-form jazz blowing and eclectic smartassness”, then head to its forebears in the Insect Trust before heading into the new Throttle Elevator Music. We then go to a prog rock set with Rick Wakeman, Emerson, Lake and Palmer before the updated sounds of Pocupine Tree. The last two sets showcase Robert Fripp, Material, Captain Beefheart and Frank Zappa.

Enjoy.
