There's a cosmic event happening this evening that takes place every two years where the Mars and the Sun are on opposite sides of the Earth. The event is called "Opposition" and it's great for checking out the red planet. So i'm using the oppurtunity to play a few songs about space, starting out with Bowie's "life on Mars".

Since mail-in ballots are arriving in Hawaii's mailboxes, I figure it's a good time to pull together a voting soundtrack to encourage all of us to fill it out and get it into the mail ASAP.

Picking up where we left off on Monday night.  I wanted to do a follow up show featuring the music of the Eighteenth Street Lounge and it's record label ESL Music. So this session of Bridging the Gap will feature songs taken from many of their compilations and remixes, so expect an eclectic mix of dub, bossa and lounge, as well as a tribute to Johnny Nash who passed away at 80. 

Call this show a tribute.

The station is currently participating in BMI charting, so I'm using the opportunity to play a few artist that deserve some credit, where credit is due. So it'll be an eclectic collection of independent artists running over different genres.

In this session of Bridging the Gap we're playing tribute to those we've lost so far in 2020, some from complications from COVID-19. I'm sticking closely to Jazz, so there will be a few artists left out here.

I'm gonna Hana Hou last Friday's summertime session of rare groove for this evening's Bridging the Gap. Think Fender Rhodes vs. funky guitar.

So I'm starting this session of Bridging the Gap where I left off with Monday's show and Cornershop's Brimful of Asha, and then take it from there. Either way expect an eclectic ride filled with a few strange covers and curveballs.

Happy Labor Day to you and yours! I'm exhausted and running on auto-pilot for this show, so I'm taking the easy road and playing a bunch of fun yet familiar songs for this session of Bridging the Gap. Expect an eclectic stroll through, Indie Rock, Ska, and a little Electronic music.
