DJ Andy presents a new track from Zero 7 featuring Jose Gonzalez, more new tracks from Under the exciting new chill-out duo from LA, singer-songwriter Jennings sounding somewhat like Tina Dico, and a very interesting 22 year-old Scottish lass, Amy MacDonald (photo). The night spins a curious web taking us into inner places through the charms of worldwide artists including Keren Ann, Moby, The Greencards, Wilco, Aratone, and the Silversun Pickups. The expected chill-out swoon late in this week's show features The Black Keys, Leggo Beast, Massive Attack, and Garbage. Spread the word! The Fringe Toast Meister has returned to spin his web.

On this week's show, DJ Andy Bargerstock selects two tracks from this quintessential blues treasure. Early on, you'll hear from Memphis soul band Booker T and MG's and Harvey Mandel from his Shengrenade LP. Folk singer-songwriter, Shawn Phillips, contributes his '70s era "Steel Eyes." Without doubt, the most obscure tune of the evening will come from 1968 acid-folk-rock Chicago band, HP Lovecraft, with their little known yet marvellous, "Electroallentando." This is among DJ Andy's favorite all-time fringe classics.

Fitting that DJ Andy Bargerstock should play as second song on this week's program the 1971,"Jack-knife Gypsy," by Paul Siebel (photo), little known singer-songwriter but well-known among musicians who sang his compositions including Linda Ronstadt, Bonnie Raitt, Ian Matthews and Waylon Jennings. This track emits a raw, blue-collar feeling about working in factories and dancing with danger in the form of a woman known to carry a knife.
