Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard :: Linda Thompson Special

Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard :: Linda Thompson Special 

Y'all, I’ll be back on the Dublab airwaves this Sunday 4-6pm PST for another installment of Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard, which Chad DePasquale and I put together every dang month. I am unclear who out there listens to this thing (hey I’m unclear who reads D&GFTT, now that you mention it), but I enjoy doing it, getting some sounds out there for anyone who needs/wants it. 

This month, as a follow-up to my recent interview with her, I’ve made a mix of Linda Thompson deep cuts/rarities/favorites that stretches from the late 1960s to the singer’s new one, Proxy Music. There’s plenty of Richard Thompson in there, but also Bert Jansch, Sandy Denny and even Elton freaking John. A good listen — it’ll be archived via Dublab a few days after it airs, but what the heck, it’s more fun to tune in as it happens, right? (Semi-related: I encourage you to check out my infamous brother’s ongoing Sandy Saturdaysseries, which is only rarely published on Saturdays.)

Radio Free Aquarium Drunkard is free to all; Aquarium Drunkard, as of this spring, is a member-based website these days. I’m biased of course, but AD is better than ever in 2024 — just this week we’ve published my Danny Paul Grody interview, a Jake Xerxes Fussell Q&A, an insightful appreciation of Herbie Hancock’s Fat Albert Rotunda and a look at Anne Phillips’ hidden gem of jazz noir, Born To Be Blue. And more!

Just when you thought you’d given up ( I don’t post links to any pay purview sites (sic!) and patreon people; too expensive, we’re not made of money and far too eclectic a taste to pay for all the sites and sounds I am interested in so Aquarium Drunkard had to go to the wall! But apparently the Radio Free AD is actually FREE!

Let’s test it anyhoo!?
