Program Description: A weekly radio show that features music and conversation connected to Seattle's musical hot bed known as the Central District. That could include anything from Jimi Hendrix to Ernestine Anderson to Ray Charles to Vitamin D to Shabazz Palaces to Wheedle's Groove or a conversation about gentrification. We hope to showcase artists that are performing in the C.D. and its surrounding neighborhoods each week across all genres. And we aim to unearth a local gem each week from yesteryear that more contemporary listeners need to know.
Send us suggestions please! We've got love for Seattle music in general. Young bands, weathered bands: contact us at centralsounds [at] gmail or centralsounds [at] hollowearthradio [dot] org.

TWINSISTR
Affordable vintage done right
Marz Martinez is the woman behind TWINSISTR and founder/curator of Seattle's ArtAche market where she showcases vintage and modern clothing.
“It’s my goal to bring together stuff that’s commercially underrepresented—to marry art, the underground and commerce,” Marz says. **
Marz's love for vintage pastiche and fine art will shine apparent at the Holiday Fair. You will doubtlessly find something unique which inspires your individual aesthetic at a refreshingly affordable price.

SURREALIST SONGMAKING! "Here's how it worked. We used an old 4-track cassette recorder. A person would come and record a track of guitar, voice, weird percussion, whatever. Then the next person would come and can listen to what the first person put recorded and lay down another track over it... Then another person would sign up BUT they are only allowed to hear the second person's track. And finally the fourth person comes and makes some sound but they can only heard the 3rd track. THEN A SONG IS BORN."

FACEBOOK INVITE: kelli's starlight wishes, legato bebop, nightmare fortress, baby guns
Kelli's Starlight Wishes.
Seattlite Kelli Frances Corrado is a self described folk-tronic musician. The pulse of drum machines bleep along with hand drums, tambourines and at times a drum kit. In between the rhythms strings twist and curl around themselves in ecstacy and agony or both. Intimate vocals and hypnotic swells of guitars, harps and synths becken with a sirens call.
Legato Bebop.
The new album from this Issaquah group has an extraordinary blood red illustrated cover of a devilsh feminine puppetmaster figure unmasking some remarkably maintained teeth. Tis a good match for the insidious swirling earthen noises that splatter and growl at swirling guitar parts that seem to find no safe place to land, aware that they will tire eventually. Come march down the tunnel to whatever beautifully hued rotting thing that awaits for you to feed.
Nightmare Fortress. From Seattle. Dirty Distorted chainsaw synths still a bit soft for the human female and let sing the vocalist of hungry things. Danceble horror for when everyones dead, and you know you wont be sleeping for weeks.
Baby Guns. Are from Seattle. Baby Guns bathe atop the towers of a floating synth kingdom with drums both acoustic and electric pushing the pterodactyls onward, grinding the bit to the drowns that reach from someplace below

Math the Band Concert Postponed to Saturday
Posted By SLQTRRR Slashed Tires on 11/23/2012 at 11:00PM
For those of you that had expected to come see Math the Band perform tonight at Hollow Earth Radio:
Word from the band is that they've had automobile troubles and will not be able to reach Seattle until tomorrow, Saturday the 24th.
Corner Kick, unfortunately can't make the switch, so experimental pop ensemble, iji, will be playing in their place.
Pitchouse and Everybody weekend will still be playing. What great news!
Please! Still come out! Together a good time will be had!
The Stranger's underage columnist, Jackson Hathorne, wrote a nice thing about the show for this weeks issue of the paper, in case you'd like to read a bit about this event.
