FOLLOW YOUR SKULL DAD

If you listen to varied music but in familiar genres all the time, sometimes it's good to hit the reset button and try to get back to that unfamiliar spot, listen to something you've never heard from an artist you've never heard of, from some unidentified foreign country. Just let go and see what happens. Maybe that has no appeal to you. Hell, I don't care. I like unfamiliar music, the more foreign the better. I can't get enough of it.

The songs below are all from a mix at Hearsay, a insanely cool mix I might add, called "Meditation: Intangible/Bodega Pop 1959-1980". Twenty three cuts of what the fuck is this?  Actually, there may be a recognizable name or two, but, shit, does this stuff fit together well. Let's go to Ethiopia, no wait, Latin America! What was that? Turn here, turn here, it's New Orleans stupid. Seriously, it's like that. The mix will take you places you've never been to. That's a good thing, stupid.
