Ridgewood Radio features concert recordings by adventurous bands and experimental musicians and restored archival tapes from private and institutional collections captured at venues large and small across the five boroughs of New York. It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

Mayuko! Delighted! And Scraps, nice to have you here!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:13pm Webhamster Henry:

Hi David! It's hard to realize how ubiquitous Burl Ives was at one point in his career. Some of that might have been due to his tattling to HUAC, so other folk singers remained on the blacklist while he was free to sing and act.
Avatar 3:15pm fred:

Damn, this made me regret even more that I missed them last month (Marcia Bassett & Samara Lubelski)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:15pm Webhamster Henry:

What was the video like for that Bassett/Lubelski set?
Avatar 3:18pm david w:

Weisblat is unpredictable but this video was inkblot bleeding colors, kind of stained glass comes alive

greetings earthlings
Avatar 3:31pm david w:

Hey Fred. I miss so much stuff! Can't afford to feel bad about it. Then again Bassett/Lubelski is pretty wonderful.
Avatar 3:31pm david w:

steveo, spellcheck is killing me here. it wants you to be stereo.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:33pm steveo:

at least i don't have mono...
Avatar ♥ 3:39pm coelacanth∅:

greetings David and all
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:44pm Webhamster Henry:

Well this is nice & busy!
Avatar 3:46pm david w:

Greetings coela and Henry. Glad to keep your ears busy!
Avatar ♥ 3:50pm coelacanth∅:

spellcheck is like big brother; mind control.
last week i used someone else's computer and it really pissed me off. i literally was not allowed, no matter how many times and methods i tried to to correct its aggressions, to express myself freely. i wouldn't consider changing the settings on her computer...i suppose it's not as annoying to the more obedient of us.
- my laptops are set to underline what may be "incorrect" but not to change anything automatically.
Avatar 3:51pm david w:

Yeah, I go back and forth on this. Trying different things that intrude with a light touch.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:56pm stereo:

oh well this music is just what i needed, apparently
Avatar ♥ 3:56pm coelacanth∅:

well if i ever get a new computer it better be something i can at least turn off, if not reasonably adjust. i'd prefer no spellcheck at all than one that does the "correction" for me.
...(also - fairly often they underline words that are perfectly acceptable in any dictionary; or that are the original english spelling of words; which i sometimes use without thought - maybe because of the old novels that i often read)
Avatar 3:57pm david w:

And in glorious stereo!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 3:57pm steveö:

:)
Avatar ♥ 3:59pm coelacanth∅:

indeed. i have to work and move around though so cannot appreciate the stereo of it, except when i'm sitting right here.
Avatar 3:59pm davideo:

This is my name mutant.
Avatar ♥ 4:01pm βrian:

coelacanth∅: Amen to that. Until I corrected the setting, my phone was turning my kisses into bison. ("Bisous")
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:01pm steve∅:

wearing headphones all day is pretty nice except for when my ear itches and also it smushes my hair and i am very vain; aw, eo's for everyoneo!
Avatar 4:02pm geezerette:

Sometimes our mediated reality feels to me like an enormous casino.I just want to find my way through the labyrinth to the exit and walk out into the desert and the sun.

Thanks for that ringing bell.
Avatar 4:02pm Mayuko:

Enjoying this Ka Baird so much!
Avatar 4:05pm fred:

There's always room for more (cow)bell
  4:05pm gRoNaD:

there's a multi-layer chocolate/sweetsubstance confectionary monstrosity in my vicinity, this music is telling me to eat it.
Avatar 4:05pm david w:

Yes, Mayuko, she is amazing. (And your name gets mangled in spellcheck too!)
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:06pm steve∅:

well said, geezerette; perhaps that is why i find this so centering

Whoo! More Gary! And sending tissues and chicken soup to our sidelined Kenzo!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:13pm Webhamster Henry:

I like the year end fill ins - and the Marathon co-hostings
Avatar 4:18pm david w:

I always thought Kenzo was impermeable, but maybe he is diaphanous (I'm testing spellcheck).
Avatar 4:24pm fred:

Is autotune the spellcheck of music?
Avatar 4:25pm david w:

Oh, that is beautiful.
Avatar 4:28pm david w:

Equally invasive, and when used badly it makes you look like a moron.
  4:31pm gRoNaD:

awww yeahhhh this music is gooodddddd
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:31pm David D:

Checking in to say that this is some fine stuff.
Avatar 4:34pm david w:

Thanks you all! Some year end things to admire!
Avatar 4:38pm david w:

David D you should go hunt down Steffi G, she is in your town!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:38pm doctorjazz:

Enjoying the show, too busy to post...
Avatar 4:39pm david w:

Thanks, doc. Understood and always appreciated.
Avatar 4:44pm fred:

This War Hippy is really nice
Avatar 4:47pm david w:

They are an odd pair. Here's some info: warhippy.com, noisebored.com War Hippy is a Noise duo based out of Los Angeles consisting of Cole Miller (Vortal Curb/Human Hands) and Jess Coble (The Zero Collective/Island of Misfit Toys/NovaHead vs ChickenTron)
Avatar 4:48pm david w:

You are just as likely to find them playing on a mountain top as in a dance club. True.
Avatar 4:55pm david w:

I'm stepping out right after this so... enjoy Gary sitting in for Ken's Last... get better Kenzo and yay Gary! Thanks everybody!
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 4:56pm steveo:
