This is the 389th edition of the Epileptic Gibbon podcast music show and the playlist to accompany it. You can CLICK HERE TO DOWNLOAD but note that the shows are large files. The show is also available to stream via Mixcloud and the Progzilla Radio Network (the show appears on Progzilla in alternate weeks). There are three main themes on this latest show, as we reflect on the life and sad death of musician and audio engineer Steve Albini, the most recent Bandcamp Friday, and the recent and forthcoming gigs to celebrate the music of the late, great Tim Smith. There will be lots of music to reflect all three of those themes. Other than that, we’ll cover the usual diverse selection of styles and genres across the playlist. Below you’ll find the track list, plus weblinks from where you can find more information about each artist.
