B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHUS-FM, 90.5/ SAT., 13 JUNE 09

I, the Boy Wonder, once served the lovely and talented actress Catherine Keener, while working at an LA bookstore, Book Soup, formerly in West Hollywood. It was just before her first nomination for an Academy Award in 2000. A great thrill. That, and the fact that Ms. Keener has joined the Hot Circle Army. Welcome.

B.W.'s PLALIST/ KHSU-FM, 90.5/ SAT., 6 JUNE 09

Soul singer LEE FIELDS, who has kicked around since the 70's, hooked up with essentially the El Michels Affair (The Expressions), producing one of the finest soul records to be released this year, My World, on Truth & Soul. It's a subtle blending of Stax/Volt, James Brown-influenced soul with contemporary arrangements. In short, it's a killer record.
