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.

Hey David! I think you isolating yourself in Williamsburg makes sense. There are lots of dinks out there and the second places “re-open” even at 50% capacity I think the streets will be filled with jerks sitting on stoops and just being selfish and indignant… I mean imagine the brunch a-holes but now with no place to really sit?

Buddy of mine bought the 11CD vocal GTM set from last year, retained the digital download and handed the product to me. It's spectacular. Same buddy just saw Chadbourne here in town not long before everything shut down.
