276: Sunday Brunch

By now you’ve probably figured out that Little Records is the antidote to Richard Blade. We play deep cuts and obscure artists and we don’t mind mixing and matching our subgenres. This episode of Sunday Brunch is probably a little more erratic and denser than usual, but that’s the way my past week felt — and a good DJ is nothing if not a reflection of his or her own life. So you get R-rated Grace Jones (pictured) calling it as she sees it; you get The Frogs being, well, The Frogs; you get Lou Barlow alone, in his bedroom, playing an acoustic guitar; you get Rain Parade sounding moody as fuck; you get The Replacements in concert ripping through a late ’80s song but with early ’80s enthusiasm; you get a reminder that Simple Minds really didn’t sound so simple at first; and you get a love song from Lucinda Williams. Enjoy, I hope.
