Show Notes
As broadcast July 29, 2021 with bonus beats for you podcast boppers. We start tonight remembering Idris Muhammad, a stalwart of the jazz drums and a transformational figure in funk, disco, breaks, and by extension hip-hop & electronica. A proud son of Nawlins, Muhammad was the man behind too many samples to count off the top of even an expert's head. For the remainder of the first hour, we have lots of new cuts to check out with Kendra Morris, Arjuna Oakes, Common & many more to check out, with a couple more historical features of The Time's self-titled album, released this week 40 years ago, and The Roots "Do You Want More?!!!??!" which had been slated for a deluxe reissue last year that was delayed due to the pandemic. Cometh the hour, cometh the Dan after we hit the top of the clock again for our weekly AMPED rock feature, with an absolutely shocking Jonathan Davis cover of the Pet Shop Boys, Lucy Dacus speaking Simlish, and what has to be the tune of the week from The Linda Lindas getting their 2nd spin in 3 days' time.
