Ridgewood Radio features concert recordings by adventurous bands and experimental musicians and restored archival tapes from private and institutional collections captured at venues large and small across the five boroughs of New York. It is produced by David Weinstein and Outpost Artists Resources operating out of the Ridgewood section of Queens, NY, where you'll find more yellow bricks than on the road to Oz and the cemetery of your choice is never more than a few blocks from home.

It's supposed to get in the 100s in NY? Freeze some small bottles of water, tie 2 together in a sock, and hang them over your neck like a collar, is one of the things I do to cool off.

Thanks, chresti, I'll fire up the freezer to try and freeze up the fire. 90s and humid, like air muck.

Not sure you get these after the fact but catching up a bit and so love the Frederic Rzewski piece. Here's a quote I found on Wikipedia I thought you might like: "He is furthermore a granitically overpowering piano technician, capable of depositing huge boulders of sonoristic material across the keyboard without actually wrecking the instrument."
