This is getting to be a bad habit: Posting this set list later and later. Let’s blame the holidays, shall we? Started off Friday’s show with some Bill Withers and Mose Allison before moving into some Tricky, Underworld and James Brown to accompany some new Royksopp.
After a fair sampling of the new Steve Wynn, with a few of his earlier tracks as well, eventually arrived at an hour’s worth of Christmas tunes. This week: Much more, but it will also be Christmas Eve.
The setlist for what I played on the radio follows. Listen to the whole show here.
