We are complete. We are complete. Brand new music. Brand new music from Janet Jackson. I like it. That tune's called No Sleep. It's just a single now. I assume there is a... LP forthcoming. And that's a new single called No Sleep. Smooth, fluid, sexy, classic Janet. Just Janet Jackson doing Janet Jackson. Janet being Janet. That's out on the Black Doll label. Prior to that, we heard brand new music from the internet. Go with it, featuring Vic Mensa. Vic Mensa's like an MC dude from Chicago. Isn't all music from the internet these days? The internet? It's a good record. Oh. From the internet. Oh, a group. Okay, gotcha. Yeah, the internet. They're from LA. Okay. They're out on the Odd Future label. They kind of do their own thing. Golf Wang. Yeah. Ego Death is the name of the LP. It's a perfect summer record. Actually playing pretty soon. July... when is it? July 25th at the Inner City Arts with Cut Chemist. That's right around the corner here. Hmm. Yeah. Yeah. Prior to that, we heard Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings. Inspiration, information, as I mentioned, a Shuggie Otis cover. And also, as I mentioned, I like it because it features her backup singers. Son and Star. Great artists in their own right. Yeah, they're coming out with some new material, right? Yeah, they got a... well, they had an LP out. I think it was a little bit earlier this year, or late last year. It's out. It's good. Yeah. And of course, Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings, always on the Dap Kings. Always on the Dap Tone label. Yeah. And we start off the set with Mr. Alan Stone, Fake Future is the name of the tune from his Radius album out a little bit earlier this year. And Alan Stone and... The record's like a little bit of a collab of sorts with Ting Sec. I found out Alan Stone's a boyhood gospel singer. His son to a pastor in Spokane, Washington. Wow. That explains. Yeah, when you... whenever you read like the bios for old R&B or soul singers, it seems to be a common thing, like they started singing in church. For sure, yeah, they just grew up singing. Marvin Gaye's dad was a minister, right? Hmm. Didn't... didn't... Practice what he preached, necessarily, all the time? They had a... yeah, they had a... had a lapse of faith, I guess, at some point. Yeah. Anyway, Jeff, you said you're hopping a jet tomorrow, right? Hopping a jet in the morning. You're playing with Hepcat. Hepcat, yep. Filling in on bass. Yep. That'll be super fun, right? Definitely. I'll bet you it's... where is it, Vancouver? It's a place called Victoria, which is on Vancouver Island. It's based very close to Vancouver, British Columbia. Very beautiful place, Pacific Northwest. Yeah, I'll bet you it's gonna be gorgeous up there, right now. Oh, yeah. Yeah. It's a very beautiful place. Love Jones, I am talking to Jeff Raffredo. Most of you may know him as a bass player. You may know him as a bass player for the AgroLights, but that's not all there is to the man. Oh, no. Oh, no. Most people may not know me as the man. We're gonna chit chat a little bit later. Jeff is hanging out. You wanna hear some music? I do. All right. I got... let me see. Sly and the Family Stone from the Fresh album. Ooh, it's a good one.
