The A.M‪.‬ CJSW 90.9 FM

A meandering Monday morning, with a throwback to the one-and-only Moondog, a nod to late Quebecois singer-songwriter Jean-Pierre Ferland, and an hour of Cosmic American Music to wrap the show. That plus the usual strains of ambient electronics, meditative jazz, post-rock interludes, and other songs to start your week on solid footing.Playlist: Små Vågor, Henrik von Euler - Bron UtTristan De Liège - Muted - Lehto RemixBodywash - Kind of Light - Khotin RemixSalamanda - Sing TogetherYu Ching - Fly!

Tune into hour three for a mini-tribute to the Solar Eclipse (which is as close as I'll get to seeing one for the next few decades, most likely).

Trying my best to find the beauty in the wintry weather, exploring glacial sounds in the third hour of this week's AM. Before that, still a bit chilly, with icy synth-pop, interstellar electronics, and a little bit of warm-blooded jazz just to keep things balanced.
