Radio Crystal Blue, my 13-year freeform radio program, is in danger of ending, due to my own financial status. I am intending all good things and to stay afloat. Necessary funds will go toward replacing batteries, microphones, bill payment for electricity, Internet connection and phone. This program is my proudest creation, and it deserves to continue. Won’t you consider supporting my efforts to keep myself and show going? Donate here:

PROGRAMMING:
NEXT SHOW will be published on or about June 19 and will be available for about 1 year. I usually publish on Wednesdays or as soon as possible thereafter. You will hear music in several segments of top indie/DIY/underground songwriters and bands.
RCB Novus Ordo is a separate podcast with 8 songs, one each from a brand new recording. I spin the music and give you some backstory of each.
***
RCB Novus Ordo: HuDost returns to my airwaves with a more acoustic-folk affair this time around, and just one original song on the album at that. The song I spun included cameos from 2 songwriters who wrote the original. Mugga, a prog-psych (psych-prog?) band from Madrid is debuted. Cold Satellite releases their second album; this is the latest effort from songwriter Jeffrey Foucault along with Lisa Olstein. James Durst exemplifies world music; I included a 500+-year-old Viatnamese song in the mix.

Late programming/publishing this week
With my life suddenly in upheaval between bills, job interviews, and a derecho which is headed in my path, and this week’s show still not full programmed or published, I’m estimating that it will first publish on Friday. I am seeking shelter away from home all day Thursday.
I’ve told the story elsewhere about why it’s late. All I’ll type here is that life frequently intervenes, and I’m allowing this to flow through while I wait out the storm. You have my apologies in advance. I hope to regularly publish shows on Wednesday again starting with the next one.

Stats for the month of May fell this way: A very slight downtick in terms of eyeballs to the website but typically there’s been a slowdown in the warmer months. The posts relevant to the podcasts have remained most popular, alongside the home and archive pages. No reviews were done in the last month. Not sure I’ll do any in June just yet. Outside of the US: Canada, Sweden, the UK and Italy have viewed my site the most.
Thanks to these websites for helping to distribute the good word:

RCB Novus Ordo: The Trailerpark Idlers from Stockholm present a unique alt-country sound. We hear from The Stereofidelics, who have released their latest CD. Best promo item of the year I’ve received (and I get my fair share) are the 3-D glasses. They are provided so that you can read the lyrics within the liner notes. Lengendary bluesman Hans Theessink is heard once again, along with Lisa Biales who presents another assortment of old and new blues. I also spun a fan favorite that appears on Jill Cagney’s newest EP.
