Dave’s Lounge #41: Obscurity is the enemy

It was more than 3 years ago that Tim O'Reilly wrote this column, in which he famously proclaimed, “Obscurity is a far greater threat to authors and creative artists than piracy.” With that in mind, I thought I would shine a spotlight on an artist whose music, in my humble opinion, shouldn't be nearly as obscure as it is.

Also, you'll hear from a prolific group that I've featured before that just released a new full-length CD. It's a shorter show this week with a slightly different format (Hi, Jason!), but I think you'll like what you hear…

While I was tempted to make this a big show — 40 in Roman Numerals is XL, after all — I didn't think you could get much bigger than the return of Puracane, a band that quickly became one of my favorites after I spotted their debut release on Epitonic about six years ago. They're back with a new touring band and a new CD that you don't want to miss.

Speaking of things you don't want to miss, be sure to check out The Chillcast with Anji Bee, another new downtempo podcast that covers a wide range of chill tunes. Anji, of course, is the lead vocalist for Lovespirals, another favorite here in the lounge…
