Frequencies Episode 3: Doldrums
In episode 3 of “Frequencies,” Michael J. Johnson takes a break from grading, figures out why late August is the doldrums, and shares part of a new track he’s working on. Show notes are available at http://michaeljjohnsonmusic.com/blog.
- Intro
- The end of August is always a bit slow for podcasts
- The latest episode of "Mr. Robot" is a game-changer!
- "Dark Matter" is pretty good too.
- "Under The Dome" and "Falling Skies," however, are not.
- You should check out "Can't Stand Losing You"
- I'm basically boycotting "Fantastic Four"
- Preview of my new song "Long Way Around"
