It's also available digitally if (like me) you're too impatient to wait for the physical version to come back.

K8:

Hi EFD! Yeah, I like to have digital help me decide what I love enough to get in other formats. Handy and I just got a working turntable again, and I'm fearing records might take over our very small BK apt very soon.

Missed this Rosali when it came out and didn't hear it until a week or two ago. It really is something special.

Thanks, mariano. I should maybe look these things up myself before I play them on the air.

It really is, Greg. She's been around for a while too. This is like her third album. I feel like a real ignoramus for missing out for so long!

That Rosali track was amazing! Thank you so much for sharing.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 3:39pm
DJ PB:

@SeanG: Well I can tell you I've heard (or at least heard of good chunk of) efd, Nate K and Tom Dash's best of shows. So I'd start with those but the WFMU DJs are so knowledgable and passionate that I'd literally recommend anyone's best of. Many are returning from vacation so there are probably a bunch coming up this week. I believe Suzy Hotrod is doing hers tonight so stay tuned for that!

Rosali just did a couple week tour with her pal Emily Robb backing her as a duo (she also a great solo record in 2021!) - they opened for Hiss Golden Messenger…and sat in with the band too for some jams I believe…

Agreed, K8! My new girl had a rough start in life and was a bit of a handful at first (she's 4). Kept showering her with love/affection and she finally warmed up to me. We don't deserve these clawed angels!

Society seems to have a perverse "too cool to show it" ethos by which being able to see someone's GOOD emotions becomes BAD. Feh. I love public displays of affection, people going nuts over stuff. That's probably one of the reasons I love children and dogs.
