I’d like to say that I waited to post this until today so that Biz Markie’s “Spring Again” would be synched up with the first actual day of spring, but truth is I’ve just been swamped in grading for Long Beach and have only had the chance to edit and upload the show today. Sunday’s show started with the aforementioned classic, our traditional start of spring song, and also paid tribute to St. Patrick’s Day with a couple songs from the Pogues in the second hour. Throughout the rest of the show there is a TON of new music, much of it exceptional soul music of every possibility variety of the word. We got new music from Lady, Ghostface Killah + adrian Younge, Charles Bradley, Nicole Willis, Philip Owusu, Alice Russell, Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, Amatorski and classic material from Fela, Jimi Hendrix and Richard Hell thrown in for good measure. We’ll dig deeper into some of these new releases this Sunday and see what other goodies I’m able to dig up too.
