Playlist for the Unpopular Music webcast for July 20, 2019

Yeah, so I'm doing what it seems every other DJ is doing this week and programming a show full of about, or somehow related to the moon. A century spanning variety show featuring jazz from several traditions, some surf music, some afrobeat, a bit of early electronic music, a couple of 20th century classics, and an R&B obscurity that comes closest to addressing the event itself.



See the  playlist after the break...
I screwed up and forgot to copy a track onto the thumb drive that I bring in to load onto the BFR computer, so I swapped in a couple of tracks from the library to fill the time. For the archive, the forgotten track appears in its intended spot while the two tracks played on the webcast after the Haden/Metheney tune are tacked on the end of the archived version. The playlist has been updated to reflect this.
