"World service bulletin from the nightshift D.J.
To all wavebands on earth
Reconnoitre on the killahertz"
These opening lines from "Global A Go-Go" by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros provided the inspiration for much of this episode of Merging w/the Night. I love hosting a radio show at night for the freedom it provides. And it is much nicer to imagine a connection with other music-lovers all over the world, than to think no one is listening. Thank you, Joe Strummer and friends, including Bill Lupoletti who hosts a radio show Global A Go Go on WRIR Richmond Independent Radio. I heard an amazing song on his show and decided to feature it as well - from the Dur-Dur Band from Somalia.
The artwork featured above comes from the cover of Flying Lotus' album Cosmogramma (2010, Warp Records). The song I played, "Zodiac Shit", has a wonderfully trippy video.
