NPR: In a Foggy Haze

All Songs Considered: Fall in Love with New Music Every Week

In a Foggy Haze

by Bob Boilen

I woke up this morning and thought they'd installed smoke machines in my hotel room. Turned out to be my internal haze.

But every show here in Austin (except the show we curated at the Parish) was filled with fake smoke.

One Wiki entry says "Glycol-based fog is associated with headaches, dizziness, drowsiness and tiredness in those exposed."

That's good news, I thought for a moment I'd heard too much music.

Today, tonight and tomorrow, I'll breathe less and listen more.
