music. only music, but music.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H02BPY7vEms Yes, I know I wrote FACK ALL this month. Life is rough! While I was out slaving away, my ambitious electronic queen Roisin has gifted us with another new single (following her quadrilogy of 12" singles with Maurice Fulton), "Incapable" is an eight minute disco stomper that blurs the line between smooth 80s funk...

Today I'm starting a new feature for favorite artists of mine with expansive, almost bewildering discographies that may seem off-putting to fledgling listeners.
