The Answer Is In The Beat

NIGHT BUS RADIO

This is a very special presentation… a mix that I pieced together digitally over the past few months, but had been formulating for a few months before that. It’s partially an audio document of my first year in Ann Arbor, but it’s also a way to represent night bus on the radio airwaves. There isn’t really a formal definition of night bus, but credit must be given to boarders on a certain forum for developing the concept, and especially for posting a lot of ideas which I pretty much stole for this mix.

More than anything else these are just songs I’ve had stuck in my head to various degrees over the last year, that I thought maybe sort of there was some sort of underlying mood to.
