November 2020 — “Hey, America”

Published December 03, 2020 / by kozj_6ta8tp / Leave a Comment

This month’s mix is overstuffed, a few different threads woven together haphazardly. You know, like now. The main theme, lest it be missed, is guitars.

Later in the year I’ll list my favorite releases of the year, but I should mention now that my favorite and most-listened-two records this year are Eugene McDaniels’s Outlaw and Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse. Those albums, released in 1970 and 1971 respectively, work just as well fifty years later. I heard the track that opens this mix for the first time this summer on a show Jeff Parker put together; tellingly, he crops up on NTS all the time.

As always, h/t to Naomi Zeichner’s show this month, which was a balm.

Tracklist:

1) “Love Letter to America” — Eugene McDaniels — Outlaw
2) “El Drip” — Natanael Cano — Corridos Tumbados
3) “Blood On Me” — Sampha — Process
4) “DÁKITI (feat. Jhay Cortez)” — Bad Bunny — EL ÚLTIMO TOUR DEL MUNDO
5) “Dos Uno Nueve (219)” — Omar Apollo — Apolonio
6) “Sugar Mami (feat. Albany)” — La Zowi — Sugar Mami
7) “Licking An Orchid (feat. James K)” — Yves Tumor — Safe In The Hands of Love
8) “Black Star” — Radiohead — The Bends
9) “Falta (feat. DaniLeigh & Kris Floyd)” — Tainy — Falta
10) “Disorder” — Joy Division — Unknown Pleasures
11) “Mandy” — Scribz Riley — Mandy
12) “No Me Dan De Comer – En Vivo” — Abraham Vasquez — Puro Pa’DELita (En Vivo)
13) “It’s My Life” — Talk Talk — It’s My Life
14) “JUMPING SHIP (feat. Kojey Radical & Cruel Santino)” — Amaarae — THE ANGEL YOU DON’T KNOW
15) “Steeeam” — Shelly — Shelly
16) “Bizarre Love Triangle” — New Order — Brotherhood
17) “Energy (feat. Mahalia)” — Pa Salieu — Send Them To Coventry
18) “Pretty Girl” — Clairo — Pretty Girl
19) “Loyalty” — Albany — Loyalty

July 2020 — “tnp”

Published July 30, 2020 / by kozj_6ta8tp / Leave a Comment

I listened to a lot of music this month, most of which is not in this mix. Key among the songs that inspired it, but are not here, is “Pig Feet” by Terrace Martin with features from Denzel Curry, Daylyt, Kamasi Washington, and G Perico. The Quietus’ “Albums of the Year So Far” was a big influence as well. It led me to Jeff Parker, whose NTS guest show led me to Eugene McDaniels.  Outlaw and Headless Heroes of the Apocalypse are both great in the same way that late-1960s Scott Walker is great.

H/t to other NTS shows this month including Scary Things and Mount Kimbie.

Tracklist:

1) “America” — Sufjan Stevens – America
2) “Sagittarius Red” — Eugene McDaniels — Outlaw
3) “The Bigger Picture” — Lil Baby — The Bigger Picture
4) “Cliche” — Jeff Parker — The New Breed
5) “High Speed” — G Herbo — PTSD
6) “My Way – Remastered” — Nina Simone — Here Comes the Sun
7) “Freeze Tag (feat. Kamasi Washington & Phoelix)” — Terrace Martin, Robert Glasper & 9th Wonder — Dinner Party
8) “Surf & Turf” — Boldy James & The Alchemist — The Price Of Tea In China
9) “Enough!!” — A Tribe Called Quest — We got it from Here… Thank You 4 Your service
10) “Summerhouse” — Kota the Friend — EVERYTHING
11) “Shippūden” — Blanco — Shippūden
12) “Lies” — Terrace Martin — Sinthesize
13) “It Is What It Is” — Thundercat — It Is What It Is
14) “I Know The End” — Phoebe Bridgers — Punisher
15) “myheartHURT.” — Pink Siifu — NEGRO
