In the middle of Arooj Aftab as I write. I'm a lover of eclectic styles and syntheses of musical cultures, for instance Arabic, Persian, and South Asian vocal styles integrated into Western genres. You’re becoming one of my guides to new music, joining Chris Doridas of KCRW out here, who's been providing the soundtrack of my life for 30+ years now. I'll work my through to the New Year!

Let's just say I'm not feeling overly warm towards William Fitzwilliam this week.

The late stages of M&L do not show Fitz at his best.

Wow, this is my idea of heaven. Hearing someone else’s eclectic choices. There are albums here I would never have discovered without you pointing me in the right direction. So thank you. Looking forward to your next list.

Songs of a Lost World has had a very heavy rotation on my office playlist. Glad to see it getting so much love everywhere I turn. The Troxy live performance was amazing. Robert’s voice is still so fresh!
