Attic Beats 010 - Recorded September 29, 2005
It’s the MONUMENTAL TENTH EPISODE!
OK, so maybe it’s not really monumental, but hey, I haven’t missed a week yet. That’s something, right?

Attic Beats 007 - Recorded September 8, 2005
First thing’s first: if you’re easily offended, you’ll want to breeze right by this episode. Normally I don’t worry about the goofy “warnings” about naughty words, but since the show has been relatively clean to this point, it’s worth mentioning here. Not only does this show [...]

RIP, RL

( News )

Last night’s blues episode is dedicated to the memory of R.L. Burnside, who passed away this morning. R.L. was one of the last few old school bluesmen who could still tear the house down. I saw him first at college about ten years ago when he played to a very small crowd with [...]

This week we return stateside with the most American of music: the blues.
