Orinoco Flow

KAFM Grand Junction, 9pm - 12am

No pan flute, no washes of synthesizer textures, just Olivia Jean doing her best impression of a land-bound siren and kicking up the octane in the Enya original to unsafe levels. It’s a hot summer so far, with lots of great releases crowding the older stuff out of the playlist, and it shows no sign of letting up. There’s a new album from the Boo Radleys (it’s been a while!), and I am obsessing over motorik sounds from Orange Drink and Motor!k. It’s far more than will fit on a single cassette, unless you get one of those ultra-long ones that your car deck will eventually eat up.

In this episode: 14 Iced Bears, Alison Goldfrapp, The Boo Radleys, Boygenius, Cake Like, Chinese Man, Circa Waves, Com Truise, The Dandy Warhols, Daughter, Deer Tick, Desorden Público, The Dismemberment Plan, Disq, Django Django, Draag, Easy Star All-Stars, Fort Lauderdale, JAWNY, Kid Koala, The Lemon Twigs, Luna, Mandy, Indiana, Manu Chao, Mark Mothersbaugh, MC Honky, Me Dicen Jos, Melvins, Mexican Institute of Sound, The Monkees, Motor!k, The Murlocs, Olivia Jean, Orange Drink, Protomartyr, The Revox, Salami Rose Joe Louis, Single Mothers, The Snitches, The Stepkids, Stuck, The Unicorns, Wargirl, Worriers, Yaqub Zoroofchi, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Yves Tumor
