Hopefully I’ll get weekly playlists back on track as weekly updates–they make for long posts if I get behind, but the holidays have kept me away from the blog. I like to post these so that artists can see when they’re getting a little airplay, and so that my faithful readers can get a taste of what they might hear when they tune into the Other Music show, every Sunday from 10-midnight Central Time. In case you haven’t seen the info before, you can hear the show on 89.3 in Lincoln, NE, or you can stream it anywhere in the world via http://www.kzum.org. You can also “like” our Facebook page at http://www.facebook.com/OtherMusicOnKZUM and get occasional updates about the show–sometimes we have interviews or in-studio performances in addition to playing music from the Beautiful to the Bizarre. Anyway, here’s what I played for the last month:
