In the mail today I got two CD's from the Planet Dance Band. I don't know much about them. There was a note with it that I might like to try this music on Radio Free Vermont.

In 1994 a group of college friends at the University of Vermont found themselves at a musical dead end. Everywhere they went, everything they played had been done before them and it was driving them crazy. Then one day, a bagpiper came into their midst. What strange, beastly creation was this? There was no place to plug in an amp, the piper tuned it with... electrical tape? Could this have been what they had been searching for all these years? It was. Aron Garceau grew up listening to...
