Asaf Segal joined us in the studio for a return visit to the program this Friday. We always get hyped when his date on the schedule nears; in past sets, he’s played a lot of head-turning records, nearly all of which were new to the program. This time around we were fortunate again to air an inspired set of music that undoubtedly included debut tracks on our program – and likely for the tri-state FM radio radius as well… Check the playlist, recording and discussion below for a better sense of the vibe, sounds, and breadth of the labels and eras covered in the 90 minutes. Tackleberry and yours truly complemented with a closing hour set. You can catch Asaf on the third Thursday of each month at Sycamore Bar in Brooklyn, where he’s found playing records alongside a few from the Names You Can Trust crew who happen to be with us this Friday.

Last Friday on A Downtown Affair we invited Joel Stones to the studio for a guest set. He is the owner of Tropicalia in Furs in Manhattan, which is the only place to find a consistent stock of Brazilian LPs and 7″s. Following the success of Joel’s first compilation, Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas, he is setting out to film a documentary about Brazil’s psychedelic past. In an effort to raise funds, Joel and the film’s director, Artur Ratton, have set up a Kickstarter page and are just short of reaching their goal. Check out his set below, and if you like what you hear, be sure to visit the Kickstarter project.

Tackleberry and I enjoyed another hosts only evening in the studio this past Friday, bringing along a few recent scores from the WFMU Record Fair in NYC. Tonight we’ve got Joel Stones from Tropicalia In Furs coming through for a special guest set! This should be a fun one; he’s in the midst of a fund raising effort to support a documentary film called Brazilian Guitar Fuzz Bananas.
