Lot Radio Playlists (+ one BBC)

These are some playlists from Brian's monthly radio show on Brooklyn's The Lot Radio, a leading freeform independent radio station. Many of the shows focus on what's happening on the local NYC new music scene with an emphasis on the avant-garde. For track listing, hover over the track title and click the little music note with the lines that appears (unfortunately, track listing is barely visible on mobile devices). More playlists will be added. And, of course, supporting the artists by purchasing the music is encouraged and does not go unappreciated! Almost all of the music on these playlists was purchased from Bandcamp or iTunes if not previously owned.
