From ANDRAS JONES: This is it for the second season of Radio8Ball. I don’t know when we’ll be back. I need a little time to focus on the new record but mostly I just need to take a little break from putting out a daily podcast. I’ve been on the everyday wheel so long I don’t think I can see the big picture anymore. This show has a lot of moving parts, including the R8B app that finally, just this week, got approved by the Apple app store. Yay!

I’m glad we ended on such a great show. I know, as of this writing, many of you probably haven’t seen Lodge 49 yet but as they grow and develop I am confident our Pop Oracle sessions with them are going to provide a unique glimpse into their early days. I am tremendously grateful to Susanna and Joy and Grace at AMC for giving me far more of their time and energy than I could have hoped, and to Tom Patterson and Chris Thompson and David Pasquesi and Eris Allan Kramer and my old and great friend David Ury who made this all happen, and especially to Jim Gavin for giving us a full hour of his time to play this game and put up with my nerdy enthusiasm for his show. Thank you all for making something great and sharing it.

Personally, I’m going to slow things down big time now.  When we do come back, I promise, the show will be even better. In the mean time, we have close to 700 podcasts up that almost nobody has heard yet. The biggest task ahead of me is changing that.

If you are inspired by our work with music and synchronicity you can help by:

– SHARING R8B podcasts you love on social media with your own personal story of synchronicity
– REVIEWING our show on iTunes and wherever you get the podcast
– SUBSCRIBING to the podcast and encouraging your friends to do likewise so you know when we’re back
– SUPPORTING the artists you discover through Radio8Ball and letting them know where you found them
– DOWNLOADING the Radio8Ball app from the Google Play store or from iTunes (coming soon)

And I hope…

– ENJOYING “All You Get” on Spotify, on iTunes, on Apple Music and all the other corporate nodes of necessity. You can also get in touch with me personally to get an LP or a CD or, or, or….

POP ORACLE Song of The Day (August 8, 2019): The Hive Dwellers “Get In”

The Things I Have To Live Without

Another flying
constellation of winter birds
starts me crying
and searchin’ for the words to say
that I don’t have
the words today
I’m on the freeway
and I’m following the winter home
It’s gonna be gray
and cold and so alone
at the wrong end of the
telephone but I…
I’m all about stayin’ in
I’m all about hidin’ out
I’m all about wrestlin’ with
the things I gotta live without
I got a white room
with a furnace
and a chair
It’s like a magickal loom
Weaving gold dust
from despair
Cleaving emeralds from the
thin and freezing air
But I’m all about hidin’ out
I’m all about stayin’ in
I’m all about raisin’ doubt
so that I can prove my faith again
I’m all about stayin’ in
I’m all about hidin’ out
I’m all about wrestlin’ with
the things I gotta live without
