Happy New Year, Earthlings. Today I'm broadcasting live, ringing in 2023 with some favourites from 2022, some new releases and some I missed through the year.

Tralfamadore here. Checking in with you Earthlings. And looking forward to off-beat, off-the wall, grooviness. Too bad to see Trump in that bright orange jump suit.

Rob Bitschofsky (host)
ZPB, off-the-wall grooviness is, of course, my stock in trade. Always good to have Tralfamadorian visitors here on This Island Earth!

Heather
Awesome show, digging the Swedish "Beatles"

2:06 PM, January 1st, 2023
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Right? Very Beatley, I thought. Glad you're here and digging the tunes, Heather!

Choice cuts! Some solid overlap with my faves from last week's show but some albums that are new to my ears.

2:16 PM, January 1st, 2023
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Yep, some overlap was inevitable since we are both gentlemen of extremely terrific taste, Manmohan! I think only one track is specifically a repeat, Resila from Congotronics International.

2:18 PM, January 1st, 2023
Manmohan Panesar (host)
LOL, we have refined taste indeed! Happy New Year, brother.

2:27 PM, January 1st, 2023
Rob Bitschofsky (host)
Likewise, Manmohan, and Happy New Year to all of you other listeners out there too!

True story. Got to see Congotronics at Ottawa Bluesfest, back when it was really good (yeah, that long ago) ... Came back from a conference in Montreal just for that. &%#@ sweaty mess of a dance party ensued. Instruments for the band probably measured in $20 each. THEN big-ass thunderstorm rolled in fast, low and real close, like nearby high rises got whacked and total drencher. SCRAMBLE. Several doobs were exchanged in the huddle i was hiding in. A night to mis-remember accurately. ;^)

Go PB! Sounds like a time!
