News Knit May 23

It was Victoria Day and all so I filled up the airwaves with some warm spring-summer jams. Plenty of new shit stuff this week to fill your hats with, of particular interest is numero group's new sampler "An Alternate History of Popular Music" stretching from some classic blues of the late 50s to some excellent knock-off powerpop of the mid 80's. Also the new Booker T. album is surprisingly awesome. Cool stuff. - Joe
