I haven’t tried the new MP3 store on Amazon yet, but I’m quite pleased to see that it even exists. I wish it had existed a few years ago, even if it was just for the indies. I’ve added a few links to the MP3 store here, in case you prefer that over eMusic or iTunes.
You probably wouldn’t know this from listening to the show, of course, but I’m an easily distracted fellow. For some reason, those distractions really piled up tonight. Nevertheless, this turned out to be a decent mix of fairly new music for your listening pleasure…
I have no particular reason not to put out a podcast this week, save that I don’t feel I’m in the right mindset to do a show tonight. I’d rather not explain why. I’ll try to have something for you all next week. In the meantime, I hope all of you are enjoying the Dive Index special from last week and at least considering getting their CD.

The project is called Dive Index, and it’s the electro-acoustic brainchild of producer Will Thomas, who also releases music under the name Plumbline.

Thomas breathes some life into the typically glitchy IDM genre, and he blends it together masterfully with live instrumentation and fantastic vocalists. If you were a fan of Björk’s "Vespertine," you will really enjoy "Mid/Air."
