I had a few things I had to play for myself and had to play out of the ongoing mission of newness.
The Line-Up for 3 June 2016
JD Allen – Bigger Thomas
The radio station just got ahold of Allen’s new album, Americana.
Makaya – A New Movement

Still getting through Clearfield’s new one

Continually not sleeping on Warren Wolf’s Convergence.
