  ALBUMS OF THE WEEK
APRIL 21 - 25

PROGRAM SPOTLIGHT - The Other Window
7pm - 9pm on Tuesday nights

Picture
The Other Window opens out onto a world where the Freaks rule and the musical landscape sounds very, very different. 
Strange sounds like Electronica, Post Rock, Experimental, Industrial, Freak Folk, Americana and Avant-Garde drift through the window each Tuesday night in a fairly eclectic manner, with the odd featured album or artist show.
The Other Windows presenter Brendan Parker has been on air at 2BOB since 1998, first helping on the Fossil Hunt show [1980’s and back – a vinyl based show] before starting the Mind Music show [Psychedelic and Progressive Rock], finally moving on to take over The Other Window in 2009.  Tune in 7-9pm Tuesdays.
