{Michael’s Note: For some reason this show never updated, but you do get to the hear the 9/2 show that begins with the full version of Bitches Brew…at least until 9/16 gets uploaded…All Apologies}
I probably should have thought of some mystical song to commerorate what a special date this show is on (09/09/09), but I’ve been overwhelmed lately with moving, beginning of the school year, life in general, and so this was an even more spontaneously combusting show than usual. Lots of heavy drums and psychedelic sounds in the early going, falling mostly into rock and funk camps. New music from the Phenomenal Hand Clap Band, The Heavy, The Pastels, Mayer Hawthorne (recently on MBE at KCRW), Kid Congo Powers, Tony Allen, Vivian Girls, and even KCRW’s very own Jeremy Sole’s Musaics! Make sure to make it all the way to the end for perhaps my single favorite pop-punk song of all time, Yachts 1979 classic “Love You, Love You,” which I originally heard on KALX but only recently tracked down. Show’s up for a week until the next one…
