Hi, folks!
If you missed last Friday's broadcast you can download the (always free) archive from here. The songs are listed below. Enjoy!
This Wednesday (September 14) come on out to Primitive Sounds DJ night at Brass Union! All vinyl, all night, and lots of fun, fun, fun. Vintage rock 'n' roll and R&B, exotic instros, rockabilly, and more. 8:00 PM to midnight. No cover.
My cohost P.J. Eastman has moved away but will be back to spin whenever possible. I will keep Primitive Sounds--one of the longest-running DJ nights in the Boston area--going strong at our new home, Brass Union, DJing twice a month alongside special guest DJs from the Boston area.
This week I will be sharing the decks with Forrest Plassman--one of our favorite DJs from our days at River Gods. Forrest spins a fantastic mix of vintage R&B sounds that'll knock you out!
Brass Union has outstanding food and drinks, a super-friendly atmosphere, dance floor, table games, and always lots of great folks stopping in. Come on down, have a round, and dig the Primitive Sounds!
