Recorded by rockcat & seeded to DIME on 2014-01-17.
This short afternoon set includes 4 songs from Suzanne's forthcoming record "Tales from the Realm of the Queen of Pentacles" (which drops on 2014-02-18) + some fan favorites.
The FM mix begins with a slew of problems: too much reverb/echo on Suzanne's voice, and droning low-end which will surely shake your listening room. I guess they didn't have much time for a soundcheck (if any at all). Most of these problems clear up by the of "Marlene On The Wall", but some are never fully resolved. The sound mix streaming on the XPN website appears to be better, but of course, that source is lossy, so it's not permitted here.
Enjoy!
