Traveling Music

Latest edition of "Across 135th St." now available for your listening pleasure here. I actually recorded the show before my trip to London (where, obviously, the bus lines are all named after Sharon Redd songs), but amidst all the Red Bull Music Academy hoopla and happenings we didn't get a chance to upload it till now. This edition rolls out in basically three sets: semi-recent-ish quality rap (because I'm making a concerted effort to feature new music in each RBMA show), some "wicked"* lovers rock covers (in commemoration of my host-city for the past two weeks), and a few of my favorite Teddy Pendergrass (R.I.P.) joints to round things out.
