Today on Morning Glory, Thursday host Emma Gleason interviews Frankie Curac and Nikkie Rich from Wellington band Niko Ne Zna. Today's show features music from them, as well as Hun Lynch, Fazerdaze, Kim Gordon, Garageland, Mbongwana Star and more.
We continue with The Enchanted Wood, have a chat with Capt. Festus McBoyle about his new song and new solo show, and we make it to 17 on the pancake count.
This week the Swap Meet opened with recent gear from Benny Sings, Larry June, Moonchild, Mike, DoomCannon, Jenevieve among others. We tipped the hat to Bob Power, the legendary engineer who passed this week, so we marked the occasion with ATCQ and Roots tunes that set the bar. If you don't know what Bob Power did for hip-hop and soul read the internet until you do.
From there things got loose in the best way: rare soul, boogie, Gary Clail/On-U, Millie Jackson talking about her fireplace, afrobeat cuts, hip-house, and a stretch of late-night Philly and Detroit flavours via Vikter Duplaix and Wajeed. Laura Nyro supplied the dollar bin jam from her Golden Jubilee minted record "Smile", Gladys Knight, and Kurt Elling with the WDR Big Band sending everyone home feeling like they'd been somewhere worth going. Good show. Glad you're listening back - big up yourself.
