Welcome to a world in which Aphex Twin has won a Grammy.
WCBN is now in the midst of our annual fundraiser week, we started this past Friday and we're already 2/5 of the way to our $50,000 goal, we'll be doing this until Sunday. wcbn.org/donate if you're interested in helping, we have swag available for pledges. On Wednesday, Danny Kroha will be live in the studio on our Local Music Show, so that's rad.
Other than that, this past weekend I saw Marshall Allen and a few other members of the Sun Ra Arkestra. Marshall Allen is 90 years old and he gave the most energetic performance I've seen in a long time. He was on fire! True cosmic energy has no age.
His Name Is Alive is doing their 25th anniversary tour and will be playing at the Magic Stick on Saturday, so that is my plan for the night. 
Trying to decide if Matana Roberts, Jefre Cantu-Ledesma or Johan Agebjörn have made my favorite album of the year so far. 3-way tie!
