Some changes...

You might see some changes around galacticfractures.com for a while. I updated the wordpress install, still looking for a decent theme.

UPDATE: I also changed hosting providers for the archives. If you notice any shows not linked properly, please leave a comment!

I'll be back with some new shows soon.

Best Dig Ever (Part 1)

Fruits of my recent two day storage facility dig.

Don't miss this 2 part mega show! Possibly the best dig I have ever done. Be sure to check out the Charles Vickers song poem on National Guild. I couldn't find much information about this record online, except the website about song poems. Who knew Gene Chandler had a big record on Constellation? Not me, thats for sure. 'Mr Big Shot' is an amazing soul dancer. Not to mention the female cover of 'I'll Go Crazy' by Ella Thomas, or the calypso funk by King Wellington! Wow...

MP3s are BACK!!!

No new show just yet, BUT:

MP3s ARE BACK

They are added in every show now, so if you have been holding off cause you couldn't figure out m4a's. Go ahead and have at it.

Have not played THAT in a while!

A couple of new ones toward the beginning, but mostly stuff I dug out of my boxes. I realized I hadn't played some of my favorite tracks on the show recently, so I wanted to make sure all the new listeners knew where I was coming from! Even got a little Soulelujah set in there for the locals!
