After spending much of my Sunday watching the brilliant 4-3 Barcelona victory against Real Madrid, I had to really hustle up and get my show together. We ended up with a much more rocking show than usual, with fewer laid back moments, but I think it all came together nicely. In addition to new music from Madlib & Freddie Gibbs (which I have to saw was one of the most difficult censoring versions for radio airplay I think I’ve ever done), Perfect Pussy, Takuya Kuroda plus classics from Nick Cave, Asha Bhosle and Unwound, we paid tribute to the start of spring in our traditional fashion (after all, nobody beats the Biz) and also paid tribute to a true legend here in LA who recently passed, Reggae Pops. I didn’t know him personally but always found his joy of life inspiring and will miss seeing him on seemingly every dancefloor of worth here in the area. Next week we close the month just playing vinyl records, we’ll see what kind of mood I’m in by then, but for now, enjoy!
