Had to start off this week’s show with a tribute to Alex Chilton, of the Box Tops and Big Star fame, who recently passed away, shockingly, at 59. So many great songs, but these 5 are amongst my favorites featuring Alex, may he rest in peace. The rest of the show has another of gems, including new music from Jose James, Dum Dum Girls, Pieta Brown, Doom+Ghostface, Bonobo, Love Is All and my favorite new record, the wacked out trippy genius that is Gonjasufi. Also some classics from the Stooges (used quite well in the recent Runaways biopic), Bob Dylan, Francoise Hardy and otherworldy gospel courtesy of the Fire In My Bones collection. On demand for a mere moment, until next week’s show is here…
