Updates

So my last show, on July 20th was cancelled because of technical issues. I think I figured it out -- the auxiliary input cable at the station is malfunctioning & receiving only input from the right channel. My laptop tests perfectly. That's good, since that's an easy fix for the station.

The problem is that that was my last show for the next three Fridays, as I'll be out of town. So I'm looking forward to playing again on August 17th. I got a bunch of great new records & I'm eager for you all to hear them, including this one:

RIP Jalal Mansur Nuriddin

Just heard the news today that Jalal Mansur Nuriddin, one of the Last Poets, is dead today at 74 years old. This is a huge blow as he was an incredibly influential artist and activist. A voice for liberation.

To celebrate his vision & massive influence on contemporary music, Music on the One will be playing his seminal 1974 concept album, Hustler's Convention (recorded under the name Lightnin' Rod), featuring musical backup by Kool & the Gang. We'll listen to it in its entirety. Every track.

LP Cover for Hustler's Convention

Don't miss it -- this Friday on Music on the One.
