Bradley’s Almanac

[The Almanac Radio Show!] Episode 3 Stream & Rundown: December 2023

Posted on December 22, 2023 at 10:28 pm | 1 Comment

 

December brought episode number three, the last of the calendar year 2023. This edition of “The Almanac” first aired on Wednesday the 6th at 8pm Eastern over on Uncertain.FM, and got a replay the following day at 4pm.

By now you’ve hopefully got the drill: The first Wednesday of every month brings a couple hours of mostly new songs, ones from bands I’ve just seen or hope to see, with the random faves sprinkled within. This episode featured my first giveaway: A spiffy Buffalo Tom poster by Daykamp Creative to commemorate their Boston & NYC shows. So congrats to listener Stewart who was randomly selected as the winner.

Each month I’ll share the latest episode’s track-by-track rundown here, and a couple weeks after airing I’ll throw in an embed so you can listen later. Next month? Episode 4 gathers together my favorites from 2023, airing on Wednesday, January 3rd at 8pm EST (and again on 1/4 at 4pm).

Until then…

    hello do you still have the mp3 for “Red Cross With Silver Shine” by gregory and the hawk? I have been working to archive her early work for roughly 6 months, seen here (https://archive.org/details/@8bitredstone). The orginal upload on your website appears to be no longer working (http://www.bradleysalmanac.com/songs/misc/GregoryAndTheHawk-RedCrossWithSilverShine(live).mp3), please email me if you have it. Or upload it to archive.org and email me the link

    also if you know anything about Bob: The Album (https://archive.org/details/Bob-The-Album), or Gregory and the Hawk EP (https://archive.org/details/gregory-and-the-hawk-ep). If you know anything about them please email me, or if you have the orginal unsplit version of the bob project I would like to archive it.

    Thanks, John
