Summary: Welcome to 2015, and with it, the return of Urban Landscapes. As those of you who have been fans of the show may know, I've ended the show back in December 2011. I was looking at doing other things after taking this on for almost 15 years. But once you're known for something, sometimes that identity just stays in people's minds. And so it was that enough folks have asked me time and time again over the years that they'd like to have the show back. I have since done Playtime, which was what I considered a close cousin to the show, which I have originally intended to be podcast only. But it wasn't long before I returned to radio, and after another few years on-air, being asked about Urban Landscapes warranted a second look. So here I am, here you are, and we're doing it again. As I am also doing a club mix show, I am taking baby steps to ease back in, with the show running for an hour this quarter. Time will tell where the show will go, but if the music presented this week is any indication, then I think we will all be just fine. I won't belabor you any further, except to say that it's good to get love from folks that missed the show, and it's really good to be back. The music this week, and next, has me going back through mainly the last few months of 2014, with some great albums and releases that I felt was worth sharing. I hope you dig. Regarding all the online shenanigans, that will get fleshed out over the next few weeks...watch out for it. Again, many thanks to the fans, the labels, the promo pros, producers and musicians, and others; very good to be back. Peace.
