CDs You Should Have Heard By Now
Happy Independence Day! Since it is halfway through the year I thought I would do a roundup of my favorite releases so far. These are in no particular order…
Girl Talk: Feed the Animals
The ultimate dance party album, the samples Greg Gillis uses this time around are out of control.
Sam Sparro: Black and Gold
New electro-soul master originally from Down Under, sounds like Jamie Lidell with a dash of LCD Soundsystem.

04-11 Rotterdam, Netherlands – Mozaique Festival
04-15 Bordeaux, France – Rock School Baby
