The Signal: EP048 - Sweetness and Light. How's everyone doing out there? Here's a pick-me-up, if you're feeling blue. It's roughly 45 minutes of music I think is good. And you should too. There are doctors available for those in the audience who disagree. Just raise your hand and you'll be attended to, compassionately.

Link is up for a limited period of time. Time is fleeting. Carpe diem. One day we will all be dust, and then no one will have mp3s, and then where will we be? Full of regret. Act now.

Good stuff from NPR today. You can listen to an entire Radiohead concert for free or you can watch a newcomer on the Kill Rock Stars label, Thao Nguyen, play a few of her songs including "Bag of Hammers," featured on a recent Signal mix.

An embarrassment of riches.

The Signal: EP047 - Bing, bang, boom! Sequential noises! Whee ha! Why not download and listen? Wouldn't that be novel?

The file's available for a limited time. For purposes of review, I guess. Tracklist is in the id3 tags. Comments are after the MORE link. What else do you need to know?

Oh! And the image for this Signal was stolen from James Jirat Patradoon, a super cool illustrator. Seriously, go check out his site. Something to look at while you listen.

Here's a download recommendation for you: Diplo vs Santogold Mixtape.

Contains exclusive Santogold tracks, and the usual eclectic mix of Diplo production touches.

The Signal: EP046 - ON FIRE! I hope you are well hydrated, lords & ladies, because we've got a hot one. More or less. Pretty much.

File's available for a limited time, so don't sleep. Credits are in the id3 tag. Notes are after the break. Contents are wide-ranging when it comes to genre. Some "art-rock" (or something), dubstep, jazz, indie rock, international pop, a couple interesting covers and some zombies.

I hope you dig it.

Acknowledgment of receipt in the comments is appreciated.
