Part of me feels like I'm procrastinating about reviewing all this year's releases. Part of me is still recovering from last week. I'm not saying these shows are lacking, I'm just saying I have a lot on my mind. Dave Douglas Quintet - Whither Must I Wander? I still need to get around to listening to Be Still , but I do know that with all the good press I've read, it's a high priority. Space Ghost - 3 Weeks Jesse Fischer & Soul Cycle - Midnight Dancer I really have been enjoying Retro Future lately. ERIMAJ - Black Super Hero Theme Song It's astounding how often this song comes to mind on any random day. This may just be my actual theme song lately. Karriem Riggins - Tom Toms Steve Lehman Trio - Pure Imagination I wanted to make an angular set lately so it seems whenever I do, I make a Lehman/Threadgill sandwich. Henry Threadgill's Zooid - Tomorrow Sunny I'm often trying to find just to right time to play some Henrth Threadgill's Zoo...

You want to know the definition of drained? Almost half of this Line-Up is computer selections. I rather liked the options it gave me and hopefully my personal choices for the week play well with others. Brad Mehldau Trio - 26 I figured I wanted to play some more new Mehldau this week but I also figured I had to figure out some 13 related stuff for this Friday the 13th show. Also, "26" is one of the choicer tracks from Ode . dela - Get Busy Booker T. Jones - The Hive I've been letting my Google Music wild out and upload more of my music to the cloud lately so my commute on shuffle has a hell of a lot more selection. This allows things like Booker T. Jones' The Road from Memphis  from last year stay accessible from almost everywhere, and fresh on my mind, and still just a thought away from showing up in a Line-Up because it still rocks me to the core. Ali Jackson, Jr. - I Gotchu Computer selection, less funky than the Booker T. but just as driving. Paul Grabow...

It's the first Line-Up of the new year and I have a ton of new music to play. I'm pretty hype. Jaspects feat. Janelle Monaé - 2012 The computer picked this track but how can you say no to playing this? Even JJ Lopez was eyeballing this track but left it to me to play. Flying Lotus - ...And the World Laughs with You feat. Thom Yorke Dave Douglas - Fatty's Day Off The computer also picked this track but I'm not making a habit of that this week. Nicolay with the Hot at Nights - Satellite I decided to run with another track from the  Shibuya Session EP . It's new enough to fit in with this show and I think it works particularly well in this set. Mister Barrington - Landing When I'm telling you II  is going to be a vast improvement over this group's self-titled debut last year, believe me. My stanning for Danziger, Rockberger, and Biddle is paying off right now. Radiohead - Climbing Up the Walls (Zero 7 Remix) Neil Cowley Trio - Rooster Was a Witness...
