clandestino playlist 8/10...Today's Guests: Elliot Bergman of Nomo and Other Friends

It was a very fun show today, with my special co-guest JD Hairston of NorthPoleTapes. We hyped up the upcoming events of the week, such as the benefit for Sam the dog's vet bills at the Tork Clock Studio in Greenfield (which NorthPoleTapes will be playing at tonight), Friday night's Sweet Exorcist, with DJ B-COMING and Andujar, Saturday afternoon's grand re-opening of Holyoke's famous Mountain Park featuring Naomi Shelton & the Gospel Queens and Rubblebucket Orchestra, among others. Also our special Rumba Psicodelica! night at the Elevens in Northampton next Monday night. And of course, the Nomo concert at the Iron Horse on Saturday night! Congrats to the ticket winners.

(Check here for more of Nomo's custom-built kalimbas!).

Very special thanks goes out to Elliot of Nomo for chatting it up with us on the show via phone. My favorite part was when he described Morton Subotnick as "secretly funky". And cheers to the band for the excellent music! See ya at the show, Saturday night 10pm (DJ Bongohead opens).
