Today I was on the KPFK airwaves from 4-6pm, filling in during the slot that used to house Cosmic Barrio. It’s possible this could become my regular shift, but we’ll see how things go from here. For long-time listeners, you’ll recognize some favorites, but quite a few new releases in the mix as well, new music from Orgone, Holly Golightly, UK Jazz-funk collective Polar Bear, Chilean MC Ana Tijoux, M.I.A. and many more.
If you’re in Chicago Friday, May 7th, there’s a special tribute show for Phil Cohran that will feature his sons in Hypnotic Brass Ensemble performing at the DuSable Museum of African American History. More info at the website.
Audio for the show is below, split into hour 1 & 2. The quality is not super, this is from my backup recorder from Itunes, so it sounds a bit like being on AM radio, also for some reason my mic is super hot (as in too loud) so occasionally there is a little distorion, but overall very fine time indeed. Let me know what you thought of the show here or on facebook and as soon as I know more about the potential for moving to KPFK, I’ll let you know here.
