The weather here in Melbourne ground to a halt this past week. As the news put it, a blocking high parked itself in the Tasman Sea, and according to the forecasters it intends to stay there for a few more days yet. Some inland towns have been looking at the same temperature for seven days running. The sky, for the moment, has decided it has nothing further to add.
It has been an interesting few months. A motorcycle ride around Tasmania with my good friend Jason retraced a trip we did more than twenty years ago, while a weekend in Adelaide with Andrew gave a chance to see Marsh play a very cool free laneway set. A very warm Easter in the tropics with family (and similarly stopped weather) rounded out early autumn, providing a great sense of connection. My mother spoke often about travel as a kind of slow-release lesson in personal growth, and about how the fun parts and the harder parts both had something important to teach.
This is episode 126 of Music For Small Audiences. It was recorded live the week before Easter, and I have been road testing it in the weeks since. Bit of a delay getting this one uploaded, in line with finding time between work and personal priorities, but I think it sits well. One of the gentler privileges of releasing infrequently is the freedom to release when the mix is ready, rather than when the calendar insists. Appreciate your patience, and hope you enjoy.
