We played a bunch of recent record additions on today's show. Faves from the past, present and possibly the future - you be the judge though. For Mankind & East Coast Love Affair, Guy Cuevas, Womack & Womack and Nitty Gritty all feature. Apologies to Coyote for announcing the wrong track - in my defence I was soaking in their balearic bliss at the time. Plenty more in the bCast.
