Records Reissues at Random, Vol. 70: Allen Toussaint / Wild Tchoupitoulas

October 10, 2008 – 10:30 am

Records at Random Vol. 66 - Grover Washington Jr. Feels So Good

September 12, 2008 – 1:13 pm
It’s Friday morning and I’m still awake after pulling an all-nighter. After recording this week’s episode of my Urban Alternatives podcast with Emeyesi last night I stayed up.

But the sheer profuseness of original, diverse “mixtape” projects hitting the scene seems to me like a fantastic indicator of just how healthy Hip-Hop is as an […]

Records at Random Vol. 59 - Betty Wright Explosion

July 11, 2008 – 11:04 am
As you might have noticed, Records at Random was preempted by the 4th of July holiday last Friday. Prior to that I had kinda forgotten that we take holidays off here on OKP and I had been thinking about picking a record based on the patriotic theme of the holiday. In fact, I’ve […]
