Radio Fragments

As a software guy it's hard for me not to attach importance to the powers of 2, and tonight's show is my 32nd, that's 2⁵. I won't get another power of 2 for another 32 shows, so I'm going to enjoy it for now. That's all the math I have for you tonight.

On tap tonight, music from Mexico, from Sweden, from Guinea and Turkey. Brigitte Bardot? Yup. Flight of the Conchords? Yuh-huh. 3 guys named Baba? Well how could I not? It's all right here on Radio Fragments.

The show is available from the streaming archive, or you can download the podcast/mp3 version by hour (below).
