Electric Boogaloo Playlist for 04.12.12
This is a little bit late, but better that than never, I suppose. The Boogaloo will have representatives at the Charles Bradley and His Extraordinaires show at the Masquerade and the Galactic feat. Corey Glover and Corey Henry show at Variety Playhouse. So keep an eye out for unruly hipsters drinking heavily if you’re out. Never fear, though, as The Price is Right will hold things down over the airwaves, 11pm to midnight tonight and every Thursday.
Also don’t forget to get down on a couple of festivals. The Atlanta Dogwood Festival is at Piedmont all weekend and the Sweetwater 420 Fest is at Candler Park. Check our latest What’s Up for more info and links.
Anywho, here is last week’s set, as dropped by the Treacherous one. As always, you can grab it live right off of Twitter.

Live@WREK 4/17/12 – John Vournakis
Tonight we have John Vournakis playing for us, 10PM.
Born in Connecticut, raised in Georgia, and edified in Michigan, John Vournakis writes songs in the American tradition that wander toward a ground he can call his own.
With lyrics and melodies equal parts nostalgic and haunted, Vournakis questions what it means to be a good man in America today.

Technical Difficulties! Continental Drift for April 16, 2012
No, the title of this post is not the name of a strange new country. Unfortunately, the drift did not air as expected, and only the second half of the program made to the airwaves, but fear not! We are working diligently with the engineers of our great station to ensure that this does not happen again.
For those who are curious, the theme this week would have been Egypt, so in order to make up for this week’s shortcomings, we will re-air the Egypt episode next week. Don’t miss it! It’s a great one, I promise 🙂
