Bonus Beats

Another 404 beat set from the homey Blueprint ahead of Chamber Music 2, coming on 11/5.

Kamasi Washington touched down on NPR's Tiny Desk series to perform selections from The Epic, Heaven and Earth, and his most recent LP Fearless Movement, with a special appearance from DJ Battlecat on percussion and sampler.

Power-Pop icon Matthew Sweet is recovering from a stroke and could use a hand. If you've got it, and have been touched by any of his music, consider chipping in to the GoFundMe up above.
