First of all, I want to thank each of you for subscribing to Radio Oscura here on Mixcloud. I am deeply grateful that you appreciate what I have been doing these past seven years enough to pay cash money to support the show. That is no small thing.

Several new-to-me bands this week, which is always a treat. Casual Worker is a band to watch.

It's Downtown Radio's 7th anniversary and now is as good a time as any to show your support of community radio with a cash donation, because that's all that keeps us on the air!

A lot of excellent new music this week, including the much-anticipated new Pilgrims of Yearning EP, and there are a few new-to-me, left of the dial choices that I was charmed by, particularly Chinese post-punk band FAZI.

This week's show feels particularly fresh for reasons I'm not entirely certain of, though it could be the infusion of some excellent deathrock? Maybe you can pinpoint it.

Apologies for completely forgetting to post this! Are these useful to you? Because they take so long to do, what was I thinking? (Support artists!)

With apologies, tonight's Radio Oscura on Downtown Radio Tucson will be an encore, and I'll be back next Tuesday, August 23 with a new show. Huzzah.

I may or may not have spent a lot of this past week playing "Eclipse" by Void Palace and "Super Creepy" by Fringe Class on hours-long loops because they had just the right groove to write code to for my day job. That's how I roll.

When I first saw the title of the new Gloria de Oliveira song (with composer Dean Hurley of Twin Peaks fame), I thought, "Surely not the Elizabeth Fraser and Jeff Buckley duet???"
