Playlist for May 31, 2019

The Rocket Morton Show, WRFI-FM Ithaca

Live broadcast from the 2019 Ithaca Festival on the Commons. Two turntables, hundreds of kids, dirty Shure needles & bubble machines spewing soap all over my already grimy records. Lotsa masks & total mayhem (video here). Muchas gracias to WRFI general manager & all around Superman Felix for making the impossible possible.
