Hello fellow Alchemites and Confluxians. This week we are delving into the music I most recently have added to my collection. Most of that is brand new music, some if it is older content I recently became aware of, or just finally got around to picking up.
Special announcement: Next week for episode #028 we will have a special guest, Mia d’Bruzzi. Mia is one of the pioneers in the SF Punk Scene as a member of Frightwig and an Mudwimmin. We’ll be discussing her current project, Dizzy Twin, as well as her history in the SF scene, early and current influences, and future plans. It should be a fun evening, so be sure to tune in on 2/9/2022 for that.
Check out her web page at http://mamamiadbruzzi.com/
Follow up with The Alchemist on FB and join the Friends of Alchemist group.

Welcome fellow Confulxians, the Alchemist here…..that’s a word now….if you listen, you are a Confluxian. Which means your spirit is in harmony with the abundant sonic cerebral flow of the universe.
Tonight’s aural concoction is called the Mute Aunts….Vol. 1. I have a lot of instrumental music in many styles, so I will revisit this theme often. This show is also dedicated to the late great Charlie Watts who just passed away a day ago at the age of 80. Sounds like peacefully in his sleep.
My apologies, due to some technical issues, the first song is cut off at the beginning. The trim application is not allowing me to remove that section of the show as of now, so FAST FORWARD to 4 minutes and 20 seconds, and pick up the show from there.
