in other news, An Awkward Pause has moved to a 1 hour 10PM timeslot. which means i’m finished before i even start, and in bed much, much earlier. with all this thesis work, i certainly need it.

next week: an awkward pause gets personal with an up-and-coming musician, tom dickins. this is the first episode of a sporadic series of documentaries i’m slowly putting together and it will be super good. i promise.

the black plague+galapagoose.

a dance macabre depiction of the black death.

a danse macabre depiction of the black plague.

two weeks ago, a good friend of mine named Amanda joined me to talk for an hour and a half about the black plague. the week before that – the last week of january – trent gill aka galapagoose performed an awkward pause’s first live set.

right now, i’m on another beautiful japanese music streak. please tune in!

this blog has been a little dormant, but will start being used a lot more over the coming months. lots of cool stuff happening, and i’m also arranging podcasts of the show’s live guests. more on that soon.
