snacktime - ben ricketts @ hi tone 09.12.2024

Yo. Dave again. If you are aware of our particular cycles of idiosyncracies, you were probably already assuming I was the one gumming up the works around here lately. It's true, I have teased temporally relevant snacks that went cold on the counter, promised vintage selections from the vaults and never went down to the cellar to fetch them, and generally sat around with assthumbs instead of laboring episodically. It's been a long, rough year, and I for one am ready to leave this one behind. It occurred to me that one of the things I have been sitting on would actually be perfect to play us out today. Back in September, Ben Ricketts announced he was playing a show for his birthday, retiring a bunch of songs, and taking a hiatus to refresh and reset after the gnarly time he'd been having himself. He's been one of our favorite singer-songwriter types since oh so many moons ago when Tubby Tom first brought him to me at the Way Out. I was supposed to do a remix for a song from his excellent album "Songs for Ruined X-Rays" but I blew that deadline, like your boy do. Yay ADHD. Anyway, digression now completed, I threw my wife in the car and drove through the inland remnants of Hurricane Francine down to Memphis, to catch the show with one of my oldest pals and her husband. It was a good time. We did fun shit. Anyway, here is Ben's birthday set, enjoy it, we'll see you next year LOL. Episode 64 is around the corner. Get more of Ben's excellent work HERE . Also, real weirdos probably wanna check THIS out too. Oh! And he is also in this BAND , they are hella good.
