Observations of Deviance is a vinyl focused, free form program that harkens back to early days of underground FM radio. Your host, David Mittleman, hunts down the most exotic, unusual and off-the-beaten-track music from around the world in a number of genres: Spiritual Jazz, Free Improvisation, Experimental Electronics, Ethnographic Oddities and World-Wide Psychedelic Funk. You are guaranteed to hear sounds you’ve never heard before.

Passport was good until September, knew I'd need to renew it, but figured it could be after the trip (If something expires on a certain date, it is good before that date, no?)
Well, no, it turns out. European rules are the passport needs at least 3 months before expiration. So, my family left without me. I'm hoping an early morning vision to the NYC passport office (with tears in my eyes), will get me a passport quickly so I can join them with a Monday night flight.
(I do get to listen to more Drummer Stream, bright side...)
