Dof Friday Funk




Darondo- Didn't I.



Thank Gilles Peterson for digging up the nearly forgotten 70's stylings of William Darondo. Darondo apparently released three little-heard EPs in the 70's for local bay-area labels that are equally brilliant (and until recently,) unheard. Since the 2006 release of Gilles Peterson Digs America, Darondo's LP Let My People Go has been well received, for good reason.

To hear the whole album.

Menahan Streen Band- Tired of Fighting


Easily the most refreshing sound Reno has heard in quite some time, Menahan Street Band cobbles some players from Sharon King and the Dap Kings, El Michaels Affair, and Antabalas (just to name a few,) to make beautiful, hard-to-categorize jazz-funk-soul-samba-dub sexplosion in your ear place. Seriously, if you ever listen to Reno, catch this album immediately.

Wait, here it is. Weird.
