we are reasonable people

I’ve been an appreciator or what Ninja Tune produces since I came across Amon Tobin’s stuff in 2000. Being without regular, good FM radio has been one of the many bummers about being here. One small thing I found to

From down here at the CarWash

I just wanted to remind us of the avant-guarde classic, most recently unearthed in 2003, Donna Summer On The Radio. With explanation page. But my most favourite song at the moment is Zombie, by the Nigerian Fela Kuti, released 1976.
