Radio Fragments

We got a really slow start to the summer here in Seattle, so it seems a little silly to say "Thank goodness that sun and heat has gone", but sheesh, it was record-setting-hot here and I'm glad for a nice cool evening to drive to the studio and back in.

Lots of great mini-themes this week... three examples of "hey, they recorded _this_ as well" that might have you scratching your head and tapping your feet, klezmer from 2010 & 1950, a french rap cover of "Oh What a Night", and let's not forget Nina Simone and Abbey Lincoln...oh, and some Neon Indian and brand new Chemical Brothers. Mmmm...chunky electronics. The coolest music of all time, that's my story and I'm sticking to it.
