What a relentless year of new music… It’s getting that way every year mind you. The releases will run right through December and into January, mark my words…
Anyway, tonight we have the surprisingest song of the week (year?) from two very different pop icons, plus experimental song and electronics of all sorts, blending with classical, jazz, field recordings and more.
