Show begins with some classic Can from what is probably their most consistently funky record, Ege Bamyasi, and then into a group that reminds me a lot of Can, Mi Ami. More specifically, the lead singer reminds me of Damo Suzuki’s love child with Make-Up era Ian Svenonius. The good times just continue from there with new music from People Under The Stairs, Spain, Pieta Brown, Alice Russell (remixed) and also Gift of Gab from Blackalicious (though not from LCD Soundsystem who I promised to play but did not, I’ll get to that next week). The third hour begins with a set of songs from each of the discs from the latest Nuggets series, this time focusing on Los Angeles. Also high quality reissued material from Ghana via Soundway and some classic wax from the Electric Flag, Curtis Knight (featuring Jimi Hendrix) and maybe my favorite track from Richard & Linda Thompson.
