Having kids is both great and terrible. Sometimes they like the same songs as you (Intergalactic, Heads Will Roll, The Robots). Sometimes they wake you up at 3am, and your mind just keeps going. It's a package deal. Today's show is dedicated to my daughter, Eleanor. (She makes a surprise visit on the mic.)
New music this week from Hot Chip (theme song of the day), Automatic, Working Men's Club, Sylvan Esso, Superorganism. Just Mustard, Dangermouse & Black Thought, DC Gore, TV Priest, The Mountain Goats, Kiwi Jr. & Cheekface Local music from Brijean & Spacemoth. Old school set featuring Kool Moe Dee, LL Cool J, and Kool Keith. Good morning!
