Terrific! Been digging Cat Power, The Orwells, and spinning Good God!- James Brown Funk covers and Little Stevie Wonder- I call it pretty music, but the old people call it the blues part 1 & 2!
I would love to get my hands on this. I love your blog and your show. Lately, I’ve been listening to Charles Mingus’s “The Black Saint and the Sinner Lady” on vinyl. Marvin Gaye’s “Trouble Man” doesn’t leave my car much either. And thank you for playing American Analog Set. I’ve never heard of them before. Now they are constantly playing in my car as well.
Nice track!

I also looked up (and then promptly ordered) the Goat album because of the comments on this post. Thanks Bill and Ethan! 🙂
Lot of good recommendations here. So did anyone win?
loving this tune. recently i’ve been listening to the new derrick hodge album, ‘enthusiast’ by siriusmo, hundred waters (excited to see them again, at rootwire fest next week), shigeto, ocotpus project + black moth super rainbow, jackie mittoo, and stuff by eureka the butcher, a side project from marcel rodriguez-lopez, drummer for the mars volta. he produces beats and plays live synth….real intriguing, glitchy, eastern-oriented stuff.
