Time Enough At Last Episode 23: We've Got Those Desert Blues

It's been a while as I've been dealing with some home remodeling/asbestos concerns but back we are with a new episode. And we've got the desert blues!

Old Man Schuck is happy that school is back in session in Stoughton but less thrilled with the impending invasion by Starbucks. I note some of the latest construction changing the face of Madison. Well, this was a month ago so it's not really the latest news anymore. This leads to a b*tch session on how State Street just isn't fun anymore. That is, it is losing/has lost its 1990s vibe as venerable local businesses leave and human-scaled buildings are replaced by 10+ story ones.

We proceed to talk Madison dive bars before running down what we've been streaming lately. We finish with a review of Tzenni, the album by Mauritanian griot Noura Mint Seymali.
