Many thanks to all of you who supported the station during our recent fundraiser. We raised a pretty penny for KCRW and have close to 20,000 subscribers to thank for it. Lots of new music this week and more funky tunes than normal. A call from O-Dub of Soul-Sides.com in the first hour may have influenced that, but hopefully you don’t mind. New tracks from The Heavy, Tony Allen, Mayer Hawthorne, J. Tillman of the Fleet Foxes, Depedro feat. Calexico and a track from Roger Mas, who is an old homeboy of mine from KALX.
In the last set, I pay tribute to a musical genius who recently passed away, Les Paul. I play, in its entirety a 14+ minute radio show that Les produced in 1950 (???) along with his wife Mary Ford. Close everything up with my favorite instrumental using a Les Paul, Peter Green’s “The Supernatural” just gorgeous sound. On demand for a week, until the next one, so enjoy while you can and tell a friend to tune in too.
