Antifogmatic

Most of the music played during this broadcast of Bluegrass Junction are songs from the album Antifogmatic by the Punch Brothers. It is the second studio album by the American group and the album was self-produced by the band and released by Nonesuch Records on June 15, 2010.

Punch Brothers is an American band consisting of Chris Thile (mandolin), Gabe Witcher (fiddle/violin), Noam Pikelny (banjo), Chris Eldridge (guitar), and Paul Kowert (bass). Their style has been described as „bluegrass instrumentation and spontaneity in the structures of modern classical“ as well as „American country-classical chamber music“.

Two songs are from the 2006 album How to Grow a Woman from the Ground, which was released on Sugar Hill label by the Punch Brothers(Greg Garrison on bass) on September 12, 2006.

This broadcast was generously sponsored by the good folks at Mournful Oatmeal. Many people give up eating oatmeal when it’s warm and that’s why, in hot weather places, people tend to be dumber. They’re eating fruit loops, when oatmeal is what they need.

Mournful Oatmeal is nature’s way of reminding you that you are only passing through, and in the greater scheme of things, you are a temporary problem. You were more interesting five years ago than you are now and this trend is going to continue. You thought the song Long Black Veil was depressing? Just try our cereal.

Mournful Oatmeal. We put the real into cereal.
