Michael.

MJ.

The King of Pop.

Whose songs were played in excess at my 18th birthday (dance) party. I didn’t think that I’d be able to play new(ish) songs from Michael on Radio Valencia.  Well, thanks to L.A. Reid, Timbaland, and more the second posthumous album of previously unreleased MJ tracks will be available next week.

I play two songs from Xscape during this week’s mix. Plus new music from White Sea, Pacific Mean Time, tUnE-yArDs, Metronomy, Tobacco, Hong Hong Kong Kong, PAWS, The Black Keys, Be Calm Honcho, Blackbird Blackbird, PHOX, Nicholas Savage, Conor Oberst, and a heartbreaking track from Christopher Owens.
