The first two hours of this week's AM dip in and out of neo-classical, experimental jazz, and other instrumental sounds. Hour three shakes off the drowsiness for some dream-pop, shoegaze, and a Deftones cover for good measure.

The AM: February 19, 2024
It's the long weekend—but The AM is still here live, sending you laid-back vibes to help set that work-week anxiety aside. Except during a detour through Can's paranoid grooves and a few of the sounds they inspired, that is. But that's a good sort of anxiety.
Happy Family Day, radio land, and have a fantastic week!

AM Affirmations 2024
Musical affirmations to start 2024 on solid footing. A setlist aiming for, as the Pharoah Sanders album title says, "wisdom through music." Here's hoping your year is one of peace, love, and satisfaction.

The affirmations:
You will soon discover how truly fortunate you really are.
So far, so good. Everything is going to be OK.
Always choose retry. Let's persevere. Maybe next time (it'll be OK).
Keep yourself together. Everything is so beautiful. Joy. Free and easy wandering.
If we get lost they will find us. Love is everywhere. Love, love, love everyone.
My life's alright.
Do your thing. Go for it. Do whatcha want.
Unsolicited advice. Keep your head up high.
The greatest joy. The greatest smile. Blissed for a minute.
We gon' win.
We're here for a good time, not a long time.
This morning is amazing and so are you. I am so happy with my little dog. Surely everything's alright.
Trust your judgement. Grow forever. Let this happy thought see you through.
Solace. You are loved. I hope that all of your dreams come true.
Happiness.
This will be our year.

A Very AM Christmas
If you're in need of an offbeat Christmas playlist that generally leans towards the mellow, with a few noisy bursts throughout (because who can resist a good Prince freakout)... well, here it is.
And may I also recommend Nick Krgovich's excellent holiday albums as Chris Mastheim, Aquarium Drunkard's soulful Lit Up Like a Christmas Tree mix, and Jonathan Kane's 15-minute post-rock spin on the Little Drummer Boy?
Happy holidays!

The AM: December 11, 2023
After some initial cosmic digressions, it's a more guitar-forward episode of the AM, particularly in the last half, with dreamy tunes from Lush, the Haiduks, the Amazing, Ultimate Painting and more. Plus the story of a Christmas weed, and bright vibes for a dark winter day.
