Playlist 25.06.2011: A Tribe Called Quest, Guitar Wolf, Black Lips, Pat Bowie


If I look on my calendar I see that the summer started last week. If I look out of my window however, I could swear it's the fall. After an early dry spell in april, it's been raining for most of the time over here. So, no Summertime to open the first episode of this summer, but some Electric Wizard. British band, they know all about rain over there. Seemed like a fitting opener.

It was a nice show yesterday; new music from the likes of Black Lips, The Feelies, Kitty, Daisy & Lewis and Guitar Wolf. I threw in a couple of classics from Pat Bowie, Skatalites and A Tribe Called Quest. About the latter, Michael Rapaport made a fantastic documentary about these guys called Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels Of A Tribe Called Quest. Watched it yesterday and was really impressed. One of the best musicfilms I've seen in recent years.
