Sorry about how long this has taken (and the general lack of posts), but I’ve been swamped with work, teaching classes at CSU-Long Beach and now UCLA Extension. Here’s the delayed audio from this past Sunday’s show, which I’d originally hoped would include a guest (or two), but unfortunately Quantic was unable to make it after DJ-ing at the legendary underground party The Lift the night before and having an in-store on Sunday. So, I had to come up with a whole hour of programming, on the fly! Allowed me to play a couple of long songs, including one of the greatest drum break tunes of all time, Niagara’s “Sangandongo”. New music from Phonte, Dum DUm Girls, Real Estate and J-Live. This coming week I’ll be pushing back the tribute to Talk Talk’s Laughing Stock to the 16th, because we’ll be broadcasting special programming from none other than Tavis Smiley and Cornel West at 5pm!!
