Mixtape :: Machine Shop
KAFM Grand Junction, 9pm - 10pm

This is MACHINE SHOP, a special one-hour mixtape from yours truly featuring songs about all the weird devices we humans have imagined and constructed out of musical parts. I’m closing it out with the Smugglers’ “She’s A Machine,” which inspired me to put this together when a search for it revealed all sorts of inexplicable gadgetry lurking in my library.
In this episode: Blonde Redhead, Chad VanGaalen, Fluid Ounces, Goldfrapp, Jason Falkner, Kassin+2, Nortec Collective, Oranger, Pixies, Robyn Hitchcock, The Scofflaws, The Smugglers, Spot 1019, STRFKR, Sukia, Thomas Function
