<p>Today’s guest deejay is <a href="https://8sided.blog" title="Michael Donaldson">Michael Donaldson</a>.</p> <p>I met Michael when he posted an <a href="https://8sided.blog/31-danielfuzztone/" title="Daniel Fuzztone interview">interview</a> with <a href="https://danielfuzztone.bandcamp.com/" title="Daniel Fuzztone">Daniel Fuzztone</a> on <a href="https://micro.blog/" title="Micro.blog">Micro.blog</a>. I enjoyed the interview and Michael’s other blog posts and Daniel’s music, so I invited both of them to guest deejay on Soundwave. We’ll hear Daniel’s mix in December.</p> <p>I got a kick out of Michael’s blog. It’s got a lot of 80/90s feel to it, so for me hearing Daniel’s mix was like putting on a comfortable, worn-in sweater. Daniel’s mix is wonderful, but the track that got me in the feels was My Bloody Valentine/Skylab’s "Incidental Peace.” It’s such an unlikely collaboration but somehow weaves a seamless blend of shoegaze and electronic music. It’s all kinds of wonderful and "Incidental Peace” is buttressed between music that is equally gorgeous.</p> <p>Okay, time for me to pack it in. Tomorrow is my boy’s first baseball game of the season. I’ll be honest, even with social distancing I think it’s going to be unsettling being around so many people. At lest we’ll all be outdoors.</p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejay will be <a href="https://bandcamp.com/gertdemeester" title="Gert De Meeseter">Gert De Meeseter</a>.</p> <p>See you then!</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://geminirevolution.bandcamp.com/album/supernova-remnant" title="Gemini Revolution">Gemini Revolution</a> “Crumarooned”</li> <li><a href="https://bjorntorske.bandcamp.com/album/feil-knapp" title="Bjørn Torske">Bjørn Torske</a> “HemmeligOrkester”</li> <li><a href="https://ralphkinsella.bandcamp.com/album/lessening-2" title="Ralph Kinsella">Ralph Kinsella</a> “Suffuse”</li> <li><a href="https://music.apple.com/us/album/chance-encounters-in-the-garden-of-lights/1256005824" title="Bill Nelson">Bill Nelson</a> “Night Tides”</li> <li><a hr
