You can take winter comfort in Just Northwest Of Inman's fifteenth installment. The artist formerly known as Velvet provides the means and motive for a wonderful hour and half of music.

Tom is the theme and chilled loop is the style on this week's episode of Just Northwest Of Inman. I'd like to thank everyone in Michigan and Scotland for the soul and melodies woven in this thirteenth installment. The great track selections were made by Tom. Silliness ensues.

How can we bend rules if none exist? This twelfth episode has many factors (one, two, three, four, six, and itself) and many surprises and subtleties. Gabey and Luke are naturally wonderful co-hosts, which isn't a surprise as they are easy-going and astute in their delivery. Listen all the way through for a unique, truly live performance from Cambridge's newest band. I can tell we are going to be friends.

The best medicine? Perhaps in the short term, but we've hit the long term as this episode is made of aluminum. Three themes thread their way through these artists. Laugh and laugh and fall apart.

As the sweltering heat sweeps through your sweat secreters, take a sip from this week's JNOI episode. Brutus had a busy day, and so have you. Your melting mind needs music. The artists captured in number nine scream to be heard, rap in the rhythm of the classics, and strum for the silent. Enjoy it while it lasts, acoustic guitars cut hands in the winter.

This week's episode, while over a month in the making, came together in a rush.  Enjoy the unknown of the known and not known of the new. You'll enter as Dorothy and leave as a Candy Cane Child.

The real eighties, in a chronological sense, could only spawn the nineties. Lost in the importance of the present and the glamour of the past, we visit those who were for sale but not yet bought, a genius in his element, and bands whose influence creep up in some of JNOI's favorites. We recommend this to close down a party. It's still going strong when you hit play, but the embers are multiplying and the conversations are dying from nonsensicalness.

Brevity sometimes provides more than extensiveness. So will peace speak louder than war? We may never know, but Johanna Ry does. This week enjoy selections provided by my Icelandic friend, Karen. Listen closely to a great name in folk rock as he shows ultimate humility. I misspoke a couple of times, but mistakes are just that.

Let's take a walk around Brooklyn, where we will pass through the vibrating air of low-fi and four tracks. What is The Price of Ice? Keith will calculate it for us. He joins me in Studio Sleep for banter about he who hides, he who took the easy way out, he who eats off the clean plate, and he who remembers the forgotten painter. Listen to this whilst the sun and horizon flirt.

Let's not discuss the audible, low hum in the background of the interludes.
Pretend you're driving in your favorite convertible (think 1972 orange
Beetle) in the rain, and there's a small hole in the seam where the top
meets the frame. It not only could happen, it does happen. This episode is
my favorite so far. A great selection of traditional songs with the
occasional curve ball thrown in. Questions? Comments? Carrots?

Haystack on Cannon Beach in Oregon, one of my favorite places in the
world. Sorry for the second week with a poorly recorded opening track.
This week's episode has the content but lacks playlist flow. I recommend
listening to this on a drive with a few casual corners and shoulder-less
straight aways, whilst doing housework, or while cooking a dinner for
vegitarians, a carnivorous cousin, and two step-grandfathers.

Everything starts somewhere, and this starts here. While I wish I could
claim that I slept in the above suit, I didn't. A few of my favorites make
their appearance in this first of firsts. Stay tuned for more . . .
