Busy preparing for a conference this weekend, so the playlist will have to wait, but here’s this week’s show. Begins with a tribute set to Ravi Shankar, on his 90th (!!!) Birthday. Shankar’s influence really was extraordinary, my meager set of recent rock songs with sitar doesn’t even scratch the surface of how his sounds (and those of his family) have influenced modern music. Lots of new music throughout, including brand new music from Roky Erickson of the legendary 13th Floor Elevators, Jose James, Dum Dum Girls (review coming early next week of this fantastic record), Erykah Badu and Sharon Jones. Up on demand until the next one comes along (which should have a record store day opening set!).
