Less Bells

<p>Today’s guest deejay is Julie Carpenter, AKA <a href="https://lessbells.bandcamp.com" title="Less Bells">Less Bells</a>.</p> <p>Several months ago, I did a deep dive on musicians on <a href="https://bandcamp.com" title="Bandcamp">Bandcamp</a> who explored ambient, classical, experimental, and instrumental music. Julie explores all those genres, so naturally, I invited her to join us on SOUNDWAVE. I expected to be surprised, but I didn’t expect <em>how</em> surprised by her mix. <a href="https://dirtyprojectors.net" title="Dirty Projectors">Dirty Projectors</a>? <a href="http://buffysainte-marie.com" title="Buffy Sainte-Marie">Buddy Sainte-Marie</a>? <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Star" title="Big Star">Big Star</a>? What the hell?!? I’m not complaining. In fact, I’m delighted!</p> <p>Speaking of delights, I urge you to go on your music streaming platform of choice and listen to Julie’s music. I’ve been listening to her albums constantly since first discovering her music, and I have a feeling you’ll do the same. Better yet, if you like what you hear, and you will, why not spend a few dollars on some of her songs or her albums. You can thank me later.</p> <p>Julie will talk about her mix below.</p> <p>I need to wrap this up because my wife will visit me for the next week and I need to tidy up around the house. The pandemic and work have kept us apart for months at a time. While I’m used to a solitary life, I don’t like being apart from her this long. But I have relapsed into my former bachelor ways and need to get things shipshape before she’s back in town.</p> <p>Join us next week when our guest deejay will be <a href="https://emilzapffe.bandcamp.com" title="Emil Zapffe">Emil Zapffe</a>, AKA João Guimarães.</p> <p>See you then!</p> <ol> <li><a href="https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B002BGJ91M/ref=dm_aw_dp_sp_bb_sfa" title="Dirty Projectors">Dirty Projectors</a> “Two Doves”</li> <li><a href="https://clintheidorn.bandcamp.com/album/pasadena" title="Clint Heidorn">Clint Heidorn</a> “Pasadena”</l
