First up is the delightful return of
Fatboy Slim with "Don't Let the Man Get You Down" from his brand new
Palookaville (
iTunes,
Amazon). It's a really good new record that offers something for anyone who's ever liked a previous Fatboy Slim song. Next we heard "These Things Take Time" by the New Zealand act
The Brunettes from their album
Mars Loves Venus (
website). Then Sweden's
The Concretes did "You Can't Hurry Love" from their new self-titled album (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music). Then
Rilo Kiley did "It's a Hit" from their new album
More Adventurous (
iTunes,
Amazon,
Other Music). Normally that would be all, but since I liked it so much there's a bonus
Fatboy Slim song from Palookaville, we heard "The Journey" which features
Lateef. This episode is admittedly a bit
Fatboy Slim-centric, but what can I say? I love
Fatboy Slim. It won't happen again anytime soon, I promise. More diversity coming next week.
This week show features a "news update" from The Majority Report with Sam Seder & Janeane Garofalo from Air America Radio, which you can download in full from Air America Place.
