It's the First of the Month
It’s the first day of November and I’ll be playing the first track off of my many of favorite new releases. Do you think it’s smart to put the best song first? Should you save the gold for later in the album? Please discuss! Plus, tunes from Cat Power, Great Lake Swimmers, Death Valley Girls, Tropa Magica and more. Stay tuned!
- TROPA MAGICA - Y La Muerte De Los Commons
- Anna St. Louis - If Only There Was A River
- Munya - Delmano
