About this episode
DJ Ian Head revisits classic tracks and voices in response to current societal issues.
Went back into the stacks to play a few classics, create a certain soundtrack for the time. Needed to come back to prescient voices of Nina, Gil, and others. Don't let these nazi stormtroopers instill fear in your soul, and at the same time, stay safe! Tracklist: Eugene McDaniels, The Middlebrooks Musical Ensemble, Ashton Gardner, Gil Scott-Heron and Brian Jackson, dia prometido, Mandrill, Nina Simone, Lou Bond, Blackalicious
