Here's a new video from Ontario, Ore.-based Brad Nelson, a longtime fixture of the Treasure Valley's music scene. (Remember Eazy Loader? And Nada Brahma?)
"Playing the sitar well can be incredibly difficult," he told the Statesman a few years ago, "but should sound almost effortless. I often feel a powerful 'lifting of the spirit' while playing. This is not unlike the boundless joy a bird must feel during flight."

Updated: I added 25-54 numbers and a bit of commentary.

Fall 2012 Arbitron ratings have arrived. These get broken down into oodles of demographics. I like to examine two.
First, we have station rankings among listeners 25-54 years old — the demo advertisers care about. Hel-lo, Bob. This particular 25-54 list also features numbers for a handful of stations (such as non-commercial operations) that aren't normally included in the Arbitron ratings. (We'll call it a happy accident.) I boldfaced a few of those stations.
