LITM Extra - What We're Listening To, Feb '23 [excerpt]

Love is the Message: Dance, Music and Counterculture

This is an excerpt from a patrons-only episode. To become a patron, visit Patreon.com/LoveMessagePod
In this patrons-only bonus episode, Jeremy and Tim have a conversation about what music has been on their turntables recently.
True to form, Jeremy brings psychedelic jazz and ambient selections both modern and classic. The legacy of Alice Coltrane is discussed around two excellent releases from the Spiritmuse label alongside some beguiling flute playing from Tenderlonious.

Tim asks: where have all the live dance bands gone? Answering his own question, he brings a number of high quality Afrobeat cuts from Tokyo to Zurich. The guys discuss the role of live musicianship in a computer age, why were we all getting into cumbia, and close on an end-of-the-night Bobby Womack classic.
This is part of a rough series of more conversational, unplanned episodes reflecting on what's been on our record players recently and what we've been up to that we'll be releasing to patrons to say thank you for your support.
Produced and edited by Matt Huxley.
