WAVEFORM BABY -- EARLY DECEMBER 2009

Jesus, M & J, completely overwhelmed by the surfeit of vintage tropical greatness that the mighty Soundway, Analog Africa, Honest Jon's, Savannahphone, Soul Jazz, et al. are loosing upon the land. (If anyone has a digital rip of "Ouaga Affair" (which I dutifully bought on vinyl), drop me a line.) This show does little justice to the bounty, but throws in some other ace morsels to fatten the holiday spirit and work the glutes to boot.

MORE SHOWS

It's quite a sad commentary that I now find updating this blog more taxing than creating new radio shows.
