WHERE'S THE DAMN BABY?

Good question, and one I'm sure you're all consumed with learning the answer to. Here it is: After a well-earned week off, I learned that WRHC has moved the show from Friday night to Monday night to make room for a new, live show (as anyone could tell from its glittering production values, Waveform Baby is done remotely). That means weekly updates to this blog and www.waveformbaby.org will now occur mid-week. So keep your eyes and ears peeled for a fresh serving of sonic joy just in time for your 4th of July festivities. In the meantime, check out the kick-arse mixes of African goodies at www.voodoofunk.blogspot.com.
