friends,

episode 305 is here, and i'm happy to present it for your listening pleasure. tonight brings us to the end of july... i hope you're well and warm (or, not too warm, if you're near one the heat-wave zones of the world). tonight's podcast features three songs - two operatic and beautiful ones from kris hauch and ryan (aka julius caesar), and one small quiet one from me. it's not much - just under twenty minutes - but, all the same, i hope you'll take a listen... :)

the title of kris' song, and tonight's podcast, reminds of an absolutely beautiful and moving and sad song by gene eugene and adam again. one of the more perfect songs ever written... you can listen (and/or re-listen) - here.

wishing you well.

love,
russell

friends,

hello, and welcome to episode 304! i hope tonight finds you well. tonight's podcast features three quiet 2012 in-process songs from me, alongside some thoughts about art, connection, bipolarity, empathy, and the tragic events that occurred in aurora colorado last week.

between the songs, i also mention a few things and people who've inspired me, and whom i admire. they are songwriter fiona apple and religious leader the dalai lama.

you can see some thoughts about kindness - here.

i hope you can listen. :)

love,
russell

friends,

this evening brings us to another week. and episode 303. as a follow up from last week, i'm honored (again) to share a few more brand new songs from ryan tonight. these songs are more stripped down quiet/acoustic-guitar/melodic tunes... i'm not sure why exactly, but they feel like the perfect songs for a foggy san francisco summer night (which tonight is).

in-between the songs, i ramble on a bit about another youtube clip - this time featuring the philosopher/thinker kwame anthony appiah from the film examined life.

you can see the video clip by clicking - here.

i hope you'll watch and listen and enjoy. it makes me happy that you're here. :)

love,
russell

friends,

good evening and welcome to episode 302! i'm very pleased and honored to be able to present some brand new music from ryan (aka d'wayne hoover, julius caesar) tonight. as always, ryan's songs are interesting - both musically and lyrically. i'm a fan, and definitely recommend your listening... :)

in between ryan's songs, i also point to a clip featuring cornel west from the movie examined life.

you can see the clip by clicking - here.

cheers,
russell

friends,

things are hectic and busy for me these days - but episode 301 is here in persistence... ;) it's not much - just nine minutes - but (happily) that's enough time for two great songs! special thanks to kris hauch and ryan (aka julius caesar, dwayne hoover, among other literary stage names)...

hope you can listen!

love,
russell
