Program May 21, 2010

We just received a really cool reissue of Indonesia's Koes Bersaudara (the Koes Brothers) -- believe it or not, they were imprisoned in 1965 for performing a cover of the Beatles' "I Saw Here Standing There" (insert your own joke here). That inspired me to dig through my archives for a set's worth of second-world garage rock from Asia, Europe and Africa, plus an additional set of rock-influenced African bands of the 1970's and today.

You'll also hear music of the Cuban son revival, including an excellent new recording from Sierra Maestra. And I'll spin something from the new Gogol Bordello album Trans-Continental Hustle alongside some of the artists who Gogol Bordello frontman Eugene Hutz cites as his inspirations. Yep, they're all inspirations for this radio show as well.
