Show: Kimberly Massengill

'60s Soul, '70s Funk, slowcore, Trip-Hop, Jangle Pop, Devil Twang, quirk, da riddum, Gospel (fat and black only, please), Indie Rock for Grown-Ups™. Draggy, buzzy Jazz which no one would ever mistake for smooth. Downtempo electronica, as long as I don't have to say the word 'electronica.' Most things rockin' the 'Afro' prefix. Breathy vocals by folks who can't quite sing. Smacky, lumbering psychedelithump. Less than flattering songs about Jesus. Old style crooners sporting impressive amounts of hair product. The slow, grindy grooves a junkie stripper would probably dig. Blues by musicians wearing hats of some sort. Songs sung in languages I don't understand. Good covers of bad songs and bad covers of good songs.

2nd and 4th Mondays, noon - 3pm.
