Episode 2: Stomp

Greetings!

Pretty damn excited to be back on a weekly playlist rotation and keeping this podcast going. This week's selections have a mix of new and old and some curve balls. It was a few years ago now, but I'm still finding that a lot of folks don't know about the instrumental album The Beastie Boys did, so it's always a treat to throw one of those tracks into the mix. Kinda wish they'd been making that kind of music all along, but where would the world be without Brass Monkey? Toubab Krewe is a band I cannot praise enough and Lamines Tune is one of my favorites to showcase their truly unique blend of surf rock and African rhythm. Rounding out this week's playlist is legendary bluesman Junior Kimbrough, an artist brought into the light for we new generation types by Black Keys tribute album Chulahoma back in 2006. If you haven't listened to either be prepared for both to become heavy rotation in no time.

With no further ado, here's what you'll be getting in this week's installment:
