In this episode, you'll hear five avant-garde songs. The are a little experimental, while still being completely enjoyable.

Every January on the podcast, I hold a contest for the listeners' favorite bands from the previous year. The winners get 5 Song Set t-shirts, and I play another of their tunes in a later episode. Well, here we are in that later episode, and here are five tracks by the winners of the 2012 Listeners' Choice Contest. The songs are "Is There Love In The World" by Peter Nalitch and Friends, "Dudes Don't Even Know" by Marina Orchestra, "Mulberry, feather and mosquito" by Neboslov, "Spidifunk" by Seu Bené, and "Blueberry (Loss of Blue)" by Alexander Piterskiy.

In this episode, you'll hear five spoken word tracks, covering life, love, the universe and everything. The musicians are from all across Europe and the United States - a nice mix of both locations and ideas. The songs are "Dance if you Believe" by Alexander Piterskiy, "Pan Bóg" by Mazzoll and Marcin Swietlicki, "Notes from a Dying Taxpayer" by Captain of the Rant vs Hair Explosion, "Respect The Brightness Of Our Souls" by 2L8, and "It's Really Inconvenient" by Tock.

In this episode, I have five modern classical songs for you. Some of the songs are more "modern" and some are more "classical" but they are all really good. The first song in this episode is "Waltz of the Pigalle Side Streets" by Alexander Piterskiy, who wrote the podcast's theme music and cohosted episode 21. It is a swirling waltz that manages to be both complex and very easy to listen to. It is followed with the dark and chaotically fun "Drehorgel" by Sallo, a duo from Portland, Oregon. "Hiatus" by RQTN is a beautiful little piece from Paris. "Shores" by Empiric Project and "Nanoreactor" by Xcentric Noizz are both much more modern and push the definition of "classical". "Shores" is ambient electonica, while "Nanoreactor" is much darker and heavier. Both are off a compilation dedicated to the Chernobyl tragedy put out by the Tunguska Electronic Music Society. Classical is still alive and definitely still evolving.

This is the third and final episode in my series of podcasts dedicated to the saxophone. The songs featured in this episode are "Some Lipstick" by Anita Coats, "Back to the Start" by Disco's Out (Murder's In), "Yes, Mom, I Saxed" by Alexander Piterskiy, "Ix'mant'sikka Dub" by Malox, and "Ciudad Salvaje" by Distryto 13.
