Yesterday’s show featured a ton of new music from Stereo Total, Seu Jorge, M.I.A., Cee-Lo Green of Goodie Mob and Gnarls Barkley fame, Saravah Soul and classics from David Bowie, Tricky aka Nearly God and Jimmy Radcliffe with the Steve Karmen Big Band. At the end, I put together a set of modern music from my picks for the semifinalists for the 2010 World Cup, Brazil, Argentina, Spain and Nigeria, plus a sleeper pick for the closing instrumental in Cameroon. Have a feeling this World Cup will be even more epic that usual!
Next week KPFK’s fundraiser begins, I’m working on some nice premiums for subscribers and it will be very nice to do my part to keep KPFK strong, hope you’ll join up if you can and thank you for listening.
