Sads you’re not out in the desert for Coachella? Don’t be. Neither am I — and honestly, not catching a rogue firework to the face or melting under the $20 bottled water sunburn tax is a win in my book. I’ll take my 3rd-degree-burn-free living room over the influencer-thunderdome any day.

I did a full 3-hour takeover this week ‘cause I covered the Reggae Soundclash ahead of my usual slot. A blessing in disguise, because there was way too much good stuff to squeeze into two hours anyway.

Album of the Week goes to Valerie June’s Owls, Omens, and Oracles — a record that plays like you’re staring at a staticy CRT screen, waiting for your high school crush to sneak out so you can hit that sweetleaf, and meet the crew for a midnight horror flick. Americana, old-school reverb, church pew grooves, 50s arrangements, and Valerie’s signature voice — this album’s got the kind of vibes that’ll make you wanna slow dance on a rooftop, cocktail in hand, as the sun dips into the Pacific.

The Song of the Week? It’s Igorrr – ADHD. If chaos were a genre, Igorrr would be its mascot. This track’s got everything: glitchy electronic mischief, operatic vocal samples, classical piano breakouts, and double-bass drum blasts for days. If you like your music to sound like a cyberpunk demolition derby, this one's for you.

Also — shoutout to Record Store Day! I managed to scoop up the only two records I cared about: Flying Lotus’ Spirit Box and Wu-Tang Clan’s Black Samson, The Bastard Swordsman: From the Wu-Tang, The Saga Continues Collection. The Wu release even came with 5,000 individual, one-of-a-kind album covers. Yay for consumerism

See you next Sunday.
