The lazy calm at the week's start. A few live performances included, but mainly music with an ear tilted toward string-driven things.

December 22, 2003: Four screaming tires, three CD bags, two live sets, and traffic due to terrorist threats.

Live performance by Low (*actually Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker) |
||||
|
These forbears of the "slowcore" musical movement are masters of restraint, beautifying their sound with a lack of frills. In typical fashion, they've re-released their holiday album entitled, "Christmas," conveying satisfyingly simple messages over their languidly lush delivery. Two-thirds of the ensemble (Mimi and Alan) present a live set of their holiday songs and a few new gems for WFMU. |

Live performance by Jozef van Wissem 
|
||||
|
Jozef van Wissem performs tunes from the 1600's through the present on a beautiful reproduction 10-string Renaissance lute. Jozef's music was beautifully sonorous and minimalistic, perfect for inducing a trance-like barrier against all the Christmas craziness. |
