    Today's MindField is about the Dragonboat Festival-one of the "big 3" of traditional Chinese holidays. Time for the boat races, eating jongdze, etc. I had a couple of comments about some strange signal traces in audio feed. I checked with LibSyn and they said you can check here if that happens.

    How many people asked me that question before I left for and on the plane flight to Taiwan? Link for Grand Hotel. Mark's Taiwan Flashback is a new segment for these Taiwan stories. How I wish I could play music from my favorite old bands and can't because of RIAA/licensing issues-but it can't stop me from band geeking and lighting a fire under my listeners to go and check out these great bands-Mark's Dinosaur Music Minute. Todays' featured band : King Crimson and their albums Lark's Tongues in Aspic, Starless and Bible Black and Red. Mention Eno collaboration: Baby's on Fire. Fight the Power, baby! Shout out to Jimmy from Denver and Wander Wolf. Wander Wolf is also producing an audioplay of Jack Mangan's award winning short story: 16 Pieces at a Time. Play promo for: Come Let Me Whisper
