    I should have had Michael Brecker on this week's Mix Six 'cause that has David Lynch written all over it.

    "Walking in Rhythm" in 2007? I guess that's when "Happy Music" came out, but I think I was in 6th grade when that song was popular.

    And what possessed MIchael Bloomfield to throw some coin into Leo Sayer's cup?
  • Yeah, that Blackbyrds track is just from a greatest-hits compilation that came out last year.

    I'm not sure why Bloomfield did that cover, but it makes me grin whenever I hear it.
  • woah! good pile of songs here
  • really nice........! Thanks a lot!

    Mavis Staples is amazing.

    If you love her, listen to the rest of the Anti- artists on their sampler. It's great.
