David Smith

On my show this month:
Greetings!
I recently acquired a nice, large stack of CDs from Latvia, so get ready for some amazing songs from our Baltic friends. I have new stuff from Zipper, Lambrini Girls, Layout, Rāde, Robber Robber, Suitor, Spiritual Law, Indikator B, Tiikeri, Pletyka, Pura Manía, and more.
I also have a song from the new album by Angine de Poitrine, and the hype they receive is justified. Finally, I have a cut from the 50th anniversary box set of the Frank Zappa and Captain Beefheart album Bongo Fury.
I try to keep my in-show talking to a minimum to make more room for music, but I do have more to discuss about what I play, so check out my companion show notes over at http://davidondandelion.blogspot.com
Enjoy the show!

Biography:
Hello, my name is David Smith. I grew up in Detroit, Michigan, a perfect place to explore a wide variety of music via live shows and record shops. For the past twenty years I’ve been living in the Washington, DC area.

I've been a rabid collector of music all of my life, with a current collection of around 5,000 CDs and pieces of vinyl, plus uncounted numbers of live bootlegs, digital downloads, and cassettes. I've taken advantage of my world travels to buy records and CDs from all over the world, including the time when I bought a Xalam CD in Dakar, Senegal and nearly started a riot.

My aim at Dandelion Radio is to present an interesting and far-reaching collection of music each month, carefully selected and sequenced like that great mix tape you received from a friend all those years ago.
