Been doing these shows a bit more loosey goosey of late, as is evidenced from the pace of posts on the blog, I’ve been preoccupied with many many other things. Not having everything planned out means I play a bit more vinyl than I usually do during the “usual” shows, and so this show begins with essentially a whole side of Rahsaan, as if I needed an excuse. From there, you’ll hear some new tunes, including current faves Karol Conka, Pains Of Being True At Heart, BadBadNotGood, Bart Davenport, Takuya Kuroda and more. Speaking of Bart Davenport, next week’s show will feature an interview and performance from him, but until then, enjoy this one.
