Playlist, Week of 2020-07-05

My fascination with the Coin Coin series from Matana Roberts continues unabated... Continued and repeated listenings yield exponential pleasures... case in point: Sean O'Hagan's Radum Calls, Radum Calls... "America's Band" was always a stupid appellation for the Beach Boys, but damn, they sure sounded good on the 4th of July... Hot damn, Matthew Shipp on Whit Dickey's Morph... once again, I prove that writing about music is easy and fun!...
