I encourage you to check out the Kyp Malone guest DJ session that is currently available on NPR’s All Songs Considered blog. It’s not surprising that Kyp brought along a great playlist enhanced by interesting dialogue. His selection of Kermit the Frog’s take on Rainbow Connection leads the discussion to Sesame Street and Stevie Wonder’s rousing (and extra funky) version of “Superstition.” It’s worth a watch and listen if only for a brief walk down memory lane.

Getting back to Kyp Malone, if you have not picked up a copy of his beautiful new album under the Rain Machine moniker you should really add it to your collection today. It’s a solid play from beginning to end, and, in my opinion, deserves consideration for one of the year’s best releases.
