Time to release the 31st edition (April 2009) of KNAK, the latest playlist of tracks I’ve added to my listening rotation. I’m always looking for tips and recommendations on new bands or albums, so please send them my way. And if you find you’re still just listening to the same stuff you bought in high school and college, open your ears and check out the great new music that’s coming out now. I’ve done some of the virtual legwork for you, so check it out. And if you want, you can check out some of my other playlists as well.
You can listen most of the playlist for free on Lala, and I’ve included the Lala playlist below (after the jump) as well as the iTunes iMix. If you check out Lala, connect with me.
Please send any recommendations and comments my way.
Enjoy!
-Dave
