Sheena Beaston

Recap, Playlist, Archive: Sheena Beaston on East Village Radio with The Hundred in the Hands

Well we just about had the raddest time ever this past Friday. Jumping into the East Village Radio booth to cover for our buddy Jason's Accidental Rhythm show, we brought out a bit of inner and outermost beast, spun some killer new tunes, and had our new pals, Jason and Eleanore from The Hundred in the Hands, pop in to have a chat and play a few of their own selections as well.

 

  

If you missed the live show, and really you shouldn't have because it was a hoot and a half, then you can always hit up the EVR archives and stream the set as it appeared and sounded when in real time. Killer, right? You can grab the May 28, 2010 edition here and now.

 

Wondering what we played? Full on track list is below (thanks Anthony), and after that The Hundred in the Hands brand new video for Tom Tom is ready for you to view.

 

BONUS! We're doing it again this Friday. "It" being doing our fill-in-for-a-friend duty and hosting the 4-6pm time-slot to set your weekend at go speed! Special guest TBA, and you have no reason not to tune in.

Angelique Kidjo - Move On Up (Radioclit Remix)

Since this may be a new beast to introduce to you, first, we share a bit of background info to educate. Angelique Kidjo is a Grammy Award-winning African singer-songwriter and activist, noted for her diverse musical influences and creative music videos. With a career spanning 20+ years, Kidjo is an influential staple of traditional rhythms and tones, all of which can be heard on her upcoming album, Oyo.

 

  

Kidjo went back to her musical roots and inspirations for this album, which is a collection of original songs combined with covers of classics. The first single off of the album, Move On Up, is a passionate cover of Curtis Mayfield’s 1970 hit featuring Bono and John Legend. Originally recorded with only Legend, the song has now been remixed by the production team Radioclit from The Very Best.

 

If you'll recall my favorite album of last year, then you'll know that this song and remix fall right in line with everything I wanna love up on. Great way to start your day, mmhmmm.
