So, after a couple of excellent years of Everything is Everything, we are returning the Tangential Mind to the airwaves where the two hemispheres will peacefully coexist.  Everything is Everything  will continue on the 1st and 3rd wednesdays of each month on WBCR-LP, 97.7fm and the Tangential Mind will appear on the 2nd and 4th wednesdays of each month in the same time and space.

It is good for all.

I forgot to tell you.

But by now you have surely discovered that the Tangential Mind, as a radio program in its weekly state is on indefinite hiatus. I have taken to doing a rather different show in the same time slot. That program, Everything is Everything, also has a blog.

I have a co-host. we play music. funk, soul, latin, jazz, with some african, reggae, hiphop in the mix.

Someday, some time, I'm sure there'll be at least one-off Tangential Mind shows. If so, I'll let you know here. So, why not just stick this blog in your RSS reader of choice and when something new pops up you'll now.

I've also started an mp3 blog at www.silentradio.org. Subtitled "3 years behind the curve...and counting", it's exactly that. I thought of doing it years ago and am only slowly eeking into it. why not stick that in your reader as well.

best,
nick
