How Did You Hear That?

I can't remember the dots that connected me to a lot of this stuff, but here are some likely guesses. Alabama Shakes might have been heard on Aurgasm, the MP3 streaming site. I immediately bought their songs at least a month ago from their EP. Bright Moments is on my former label, Luaka Bop—so no mystery there! Kelly Pratt, Bright Moments’ main guy, also arranged and played on the record St. Vincent and I just finished. Nicholas Krgovich came from Jan at Tomlab records in Cologne. I think fun. was written up in NY Times. Speaking of NY Times, Willis Earl Beal was recently reviewed for his late show at Mercury Lounge and was also part of the Shuffle Culture show Ahmir “Questlove” Thompson did at BAM a couple of weeks ago. Phillip Bailey did a song in Clockers, the Spike Lee movie, that sort of sounds like the song I chose for this playlist. Young Fathers may have been reviewed on Needle Drop. Theesatisfaction are connected with Shabazz Palaces. Gabriel Kahane was part of a benefit we both did for a program at the Public Theater. Miike Snow is not the guy's real name but he's everywhere, as is Odd Future.
