Ready to Dive In

Episode 41: Doug and Smashley are diving into the rainy season, with all sorts of arts and community activities that make the dark days the best of the year. We have lots of clips in this episode, celebrating the release of Hatchie’s album, “Liquourice.” Yes, she stands alone as a singular musical genius with a voice like no other, but she is also part of a long tradition of shoegaze and dreampop that includes greats like The Cocteau Twins. Subscriptions for the Velocity Dance Center 2026 season are available now! https://velocitydancecenter.org/season-2026/. I’ve mentioned Bridge Project and Out There in previous episodes; those are continuing next year in addition to some top-tier artists. You will hear more about specific shows in future episodes.
