Somebody wants two drummers?

Catch yourself an early preview of the Summer Mix in today's FMD post.
Also, Kamasi's new album drops today.
Rick Astley – Never Gonna Give You Up
Every now and then you enter a tag for someone and get surprised that it doesn't exist yet. Phil Collins gets that honor today. To be technical so did Bryan May, but we've played Queen plenty of times.
1988
...All right, fine, Rick Astley doesn't have a tag either, but I was less surprised by that.
Orchestra Baobab – Ndéleng Ndéleng
A prolific group (established in 1970, still recording & touring) that I'm surprised hasn't been featured here before. This was recorded in late 2007.
Move your feet!
Mathias Eick Quartet – Skala
I somehow had overlooked Eick until he released Midwest, a meditation on Norwegian immigration to America, in 2015. Eick's visit to the upper Midwest inspired him to create a "road" album that begins in his home village, Hem, and travels to North Dakota, carrying Norwegian cultural sensibilities into an interplay with the American landscape. It was one of my favorite albums of the year.
This tune's from his album previous to Midwest.
Beastie Boys – Sabotage
1994
The Ventures – Wipe Out
Nokie Edwards, lead guitarist for The Ventures, passed away last month.
Garbage & Screaming Females – Because The Night
This is kind of live, but completely awesome.
