RoCM Playlist: 13 Sept 2025
So yet another odd week in the world of “being alive” as every day seems like a new adventure in surreality.
I am hoping the schedule will settle down that last week will be my last and final re-air of 2025, but as recent events indicate, the universe works is mysterious ways so I’m not really promising anything.
As for the show this week, a few tracks from artists never before featured that include the group Little Women and the debut album of Norman Connors, the latter of whom has appeared on RoCM in ensembles led by other including Archie Schepp. We also have soon to be released music by Yusuf Mumin in the form of some pre-released tracks. We round things out with tracks by Frank Lowe and the always amazing stylings of the Irreversible Entanglements.
Here is the playlist in full. Don’t forget that you can listen to the RoCM online at KCSB-FM’s website and there’s an online archive available for two weeks after the show airs.
