Final episode for Life Out of Tunes!

by

As Life Out of Tunes goes on hiatus after this week’s episode, one of the things I came to appreciate over the past nine years hosting the show on Asheville FM is a recognizable fingerprint: a forgotten psych single from 1968 sitting comfortably next to a new independent release, a local Asheville artist sharing the stage with Pink Floyd or King Crimson, a little jazz, a little folk, some ambient music, a few experimental sounds, and always some thread – obvious or subtle – that tied the show together. I also enjoyed the detective work. There were weeks where I’d track down an obscure musician, untangle a bit of recording history, or discover that a song had a fascinating backstory. Those little factoids became part of the show’s personality, too. And who knows? “Hiatus” is one of those wonderfully open-ended words. If I cover for some other shows here, I’ll put the same effort into making it more than just “subbing” for someone else. Until then, may your record shelves never run out of surprises, may your turntable always spin true, and may there always be another strange, beautiful song waiting just beyond the next groove. Listen to “Life Out of Tunes – The Final Installment” this Friday, July 10th, 7-9 pm EDT on 103.3 Asheville FM

Stay tuned for a special bulletin…

After nearly nine years on 103.3 Asheville FM, Life Out of Tunes will be coming to an end next month. The show began back in the fall of 2017 as a one-hour Monday afternoon experiment nestled between Kat’s Live Transmission and Sarah B’s Songs for Friends. A few months later it expanded to two hours, eventually stretched to three during the pandemic, and finally landed on Friday evenings. Including today Friday, June 12th, there are four shows left. Over the remaining weeks I might be revisiting some of my favorite moments. Thanks for sticking with me and never fear… I’ll sub for other hosts whenever I can.
