For those of you who tune in and enjoy the music of Carl Weingarten, I am please to let you all know that he has sent me a new album. Released in the latter part of last year, the title is Lcoal Journeys and it features Carl performing his special kind of music on Dobro, Electric Guitar, Electric Slide Guitar and effects. For me, a special bonus is that the music also features my favourite bassist of all time - Michael Manring.
If you aren't familiar with Carl's rather special way of playing, I would recommend this CD as a good introduction. The tracks are now included in the station repetoire, but, as most of you already know, the playlist is randomised, so I cannot guarantee when you will hear them. However, if you want a sampler and don't want to rely on serendipity to find it for you .. you can go to Carl's site - Multiphase Records - and hear a couple of tracks (Real Audio format). Here is the Local Journeys Page.
I am also eagerly awaiting a copy of the very recently released Invisibility, a collaboration between Carl and Forrest Fang. This ppromises to be an interesting new perspective on Carl's playing, and a not-to-be-missed for true Weingarten or Fang Aficionados. Here is the Foundry Records info page on the release.
REMEMBER, IF YOU CANNOT FIND THE MUSIC IN YOUR LOCAL STORE, YOU CAN ORDER IT DIRECTLY FROM THE SITES ABOVE

Unfortunately, and sadly, our very good friends at oak.rpg.pl no longer have the bandwidth to provide us with a relay station. They have stood by us, and hosted 30 streams of Tribulation Radio for over two years, and I would like to express my deepest thanks to them for their unselfish support of free music.
If anyone else would like to step into the breach and offer a relay service, please don't be shy. Contact me and we can talk it through to see if it will suit you.
After a long, long period of technical issues, comlacency, laziness, live music demands, other hobbies and many more limiting factors, I am pleased to say that I have decided to resurrect Radio Tribulation and see how she flies. If all goes well I will also revitalise trib-too - the Experimental Electronic Station featuring all my Russian friends from Electroshock Records.
Right now we are only broadcacting from the main station here, but I am hoping that my very good friends at oak.rpg.pl will bring the relay streams back online too.
