Thursday, May 20th Strange Light Playlist
This was a weird show for me, in that the music wasn’t as weird as it normally is. Hour 1 wound up being an entire set of 70’s jazz and funk (save the Lounge Lizards cut from 1980), while hour 2 walked the line between modern throwbacks, Middle Eastern and Indian grooves, flanger-heavy fringe rock, and generally solid basslines. Entirely listenable all around.
