Here’s something new, given that I’m taking a little break from KCRW, I thought I’d do a little something here on the blog and thus…The Melting Pot Radio Hour. On this maiden webcast there are a number of records forthcoming here in 2010, including Jose James, Charlotte Gainsbourg and Broken Bells feat. James Mercer from the Shins and Dangermouse. There’s also a set that gives you a head’s up on records that will likely find there way into the “Dig Deep” section of this blog in coming weeks. Finally, I pay tribute to Willie Mitchell and Rowland S. Howard, who both recently passed away. Let me know what you think of the Melting Pot Radio Hour, slightly lo-fi, but hopefully you’ll dig it. Right click and “Save Target As” to download the program…
