Hey kids! Show's a recording, but I'll be here (at least intermittently) in case any of you need me. But like I'm not expecting much of you all. It is the holiday season, after all. You can just sit back and eat bon bons and listen...

Hi Rob, Clarice is tuned in, and so am I, to the last edition of T.I.E. 2020. I might never have heard of Harold Budd but for CKCU FM! All the best for 2021!

Hey Shelly Ann and Clarice! I know, the double-posting happens sometimes. It's not just you, others have had the same issue. Little ghost in the machine somewhere.

...anyway, glad to have you aboard for the afternoon! And happy 2021 to you too. Harold Budd is terrific, may he rest in peace. Couple of cuts of his coming up in a while here.

Whatever is playing now is absolutely beautiful—sounds like an escape!

Ha! That's Harold Budd! With the Cocteau Twins. "The Ghost has no Home" from "The Moon and the Melodies". An old favourite of mine.

Wow / Meow man! That is sure a great listen thus far. Cocteau Twins + Harold Budd ... How cool is THAT! Oh, 11....

yeah peebee, some premium trancey vibes there. Whole album's great, but that's the standout track to me.

Just wanting to wish all Earthlings Peace & Beats. Happy Community!! Take care of yourselves, and the planet. Gotta go for a walk with my Girlfriend and make a meal to share!

Nice Peter. Happy New Year to you and everybody else. 2020 was a long, strange trip. Here's to better things in '21!
