Maybe these notes will be turned into a real posting later:

LIKES
(Artist, Song)
Jim Bianco, Hansome Devil. Tom Waits. Accordian, castenets, trombone (trumpet?). Parisian cafe. Beautiful female vocal interlude.

Spigga, Human. What is not to like? (Except, perhaps, their band name...) Rap en espanol yet way retro funky. Stripped down Ozomatli...

Scott Amendola, Oladipo. Berkeley in da house. Just a clip...boo. Sounds promising. Lilting funk that doesn't hit you over the head. I want hear more.

Triclops!, Mi Plisboy. Local SF...never heard of them. Pretty loud and raw, but I gave it a chance and it grew on me. Points for the transition about 1/2 way through this epic.
