The  next new show will be in two weeks – but stay posted to the Left of the Dial site for some bonus material later today.

So I’m pleased to announce the first edition of the Left of the Dial Muxtape!  I picked out twelve tracks from yesterday’s show to share with all of you, so even if you missed the show you can still hear some of the songs I played.

If you start your own Muxtape, let me know about it.  Until then, I’m going to keep thinking of ways I can use this for my own purpose.

See you next Saturday!

I’m dissapointed because I had lots of new music to play this morning (not to mention I’ve had one music show this semester).

I apologize for the absence again.  Entertain yourselves this Saturday morning by reading my blog Goodnight to the Rock & Roll Era or by looking for music on The Hype Machine.

Left of the Dial will return on Saturday, March 22.

Interspersed during the hour will be some of Elliott’s songs as well as others related to our conversation.  I hope that you find it fascinating, compelling listening!
