Episode 42: Heads Up! by Baja Marimba Band
Wherein we profess our undying love of 1960s A&M (despite it being problematic). Maybe Herb Alpert is over the top for you, you need something more chill? Baja Marimba Band is the answer!
Episode 41: Star Wars and Other Galactic Funk
Science-fiction themes, atom punk, listener request, oh yeah and DISCO... this episode has it all.

Episode 40: Magic Sword Volume 1
This album is outside of our normal easy listening because it is both a new release and EPIC. It’s got a comic book that accompanies it and musicians veiled in anonymity. We’re so into it and hope you are too.
LP and comic!
