This weeks playlist is a mish-mash of stuff. Part of it was inspired by going through my old cassette collection. Yes, I still have tapes and some of them do work. I am also really excited about the new X album Alphabetland. It is their first in 35 years and is available streaming with physical copies being available in August. Let’s hope that we can see a live show by them soon.

Black Pumas- Colors
X- Alphabetland
