B.W.'s PLAYLIST/ KHSU, 90.5/ SAT., 2 JULY 2011

Welcome to The Boy Wonder's Bar-B-Q summer special! My favorite commercial Bar-B-Q joint has got to be Payne's, right off of Lamar Ave. in Memphis, TN. Pulled pork on a bun with cole slaw thrown on top, and there are two types of sauces: "hot" and "hotter." Beautiful.

One-man garage band NJ-based Bosco Delrey recently released his full-length debut, Everybody Wah, recorded in Memphis, TN at the infamously cool Easley-McCain Recording, released on Diplo's Mad Decent Records. The result? Throw T. Rex, slapback vocals, an assortment of dance beats, a cheap guitar, old synthesizers and a beat box, and put it all in an oddball (yet brilliant) blender; you have one hell of a debut. And it's damn funny to boot.

The French-Belgian band, Antena, drew modest attention in Europe in the early 1980s, with its mixture of minimal pop and electronica and Bossa Nova. The band however managed to make its indelible mark between Stererolab and The Slumber Party, and you can hear their influence in later groups such as Cibo Matto and LCD Soundsystem.
