The show, as a bit of a rarity, was live this week, both in my presenting the music over the course of this hour in real time and also in regards to its usual rambunctiousness. Christian Scott - Who They Wish I Was Sweet Valley - Total Carnage Henry Threadgill Zooid - Ambient Pressure Thereby Romain Collin - Pennywise the Clown The Stuyvessants - Panty Dropper Linda Oh - Ultimate Persona Francisco Mela - Yadan Mela feat.

Another week, another show. I had originally inteded for things to go a little crazy in song selection but it ended up to be a rather normal show. Although, I'm perfectly fine with that. You don't mess with what works and what works is a little of everything. Jeremy Pelt - Tonight... Soul is still hitting me since I heard it a couple weeks ago. That's certainly a good thing. Jonti - Saturday Night Songs Menahan Street Band - The Crossing I've been in a bit of a Menahan Street Band mood lately and was likely going to figure out how I was going to shoehorn a song of theirs into this week's show, but upon my arrival to the studio, the computer already had a track here waiting (in the 1 spot). After a bit of tinkering, "The Crossing" found its home. Takuya Kuroda - Skyrocket I haven't said much about it but I really do like Kuroda's Edge . It's a clear advancement from his previous album, Bitter and High . He sounds like he's having mo...

I still haven't had a lot of ideas lately but the news on the scene has pushed things along. Bill Goodwin and John Scofield - Ida Lupino This song from Solar Energy  is a computer selected song that I have a soft spot for. I made sure to keep it so it nestles quite nicely in the 1 spot. Radiohead - Meeting in the Aisle E.S.T. - Letter from the Leviathan Seriously, why don't I have 301  yet? Romain Collin - The Calling This album is now available everywhere so you have no excuse not to cop it. The Stuyvesants - Roosevelt Projects Jam Session Chick Corea and Stefano Bollani - Jitterbug Waltz This is probably the best version of this song I've ever heard. I've probably said this before and I likely meant it just as much then, too. Miguel Atwood-Fergusson - Hoc 'N Pucky I'll never not like this song. Vijay Iyer Trio - Human Nature Everything on Accelerando  is pure gold. Toro y Moi - Sweet Robert Glasper Experiment - Gonna Be Alright (F.T.B.) fe...

As usual, the show is a combination of ideas I've collected throughout the week and picks the computer left but I'm particularly happy with my new approach to blending tracks together. I'm really happy with my handiwork in that department. The song selection ain't half bad, either. Michael Janish - Sofa Stomp This song has been sitting on an Evernote for months, waiting in the tall grass for the perfect show to pounce. It finally graced this week's 1 spot and it works. James Pants - Track 27 Neil Cowley Trio - Slims The song just got a new video that has graced our page . It certainly deserves a spot in The Line-Up for the week. The Bad Plus - Super America I was whistling this tune all day Wednesday. Take note how much of a challenge that is when you hear the shifts going on. Romain Collin - Pennywise the Clown Have you checked out The Calling  yet? We're streaming it. You really should check it out if you haven't by now. This taste should conv...
