DREAMLAND ON THE DELAWARE: Jazz, poetry, and heady tones from Philadelphia
It’s the first week of the WFMU marathon, and I’m here to talk up WFMU—a true outpost, one of the last good things—and to promote my 2025 marathon premium DREAMLAND ON THE DELAWARE (“Jazz, poetry, and heady tones from Philadelphia.”).
https://pledge.wfmu.org/donate?program=UE&step=landing
Pledge $75 or more to WFMU to get this lovingly compiled set of music made exclusively for the Cool Blue Flame—a high mix of ‘60s-’80s jazz, spoken word obscurities, and local environmental sounds that evokes, for me, the blend of chaos, languor, fumes, and atmospheric beauty of Philly summers, when the city is at its haziest and dankest.
Cover art by the wonderful Flannery Cashill of New Flanland.
Only available during the WFMU marathon—all proceeds go to WFMU!
