It’s the time of year when we don our finest sweatpants (even Karim’s doing it), grow a fuzzy beard, and plug ourselves into our beloved coffee I.V.’s. Study period is almost here, and finals are peeking their deformed little heads over the horizon. This week I have prepared a pleasant one hour mix of relaxing, [...]

The first conversation Warren and I ever had revolved around craft beer and good music. Since then, not much has changed, save your occasional friend bracelet and scrabble match. Mr. Lowell is a member of Glee Club and the Hangovers, and on this episode Sonic Landscapes explores the idea of the voice, and covers some [...]
Sonic Landscapes presents a new mix focused on some foot-stomping, moonshine-sippin’ American Bluegrass, spanning generations and styles, from the hardscrabble banjo picking of Kentucky’s Osborne Brothers to the classically minded compositions of Béla Fleck.
