Lal Meri

This is a feature I've been meaning to bring you for a few weeks now, and I'm glad I'm able to do it, because Lal Meri's debut album is absolute quality. Producer Carmen Rizzo, formerly of Nettwerk Records duo Povi, has teamed up with vocalist Nancy Kaye (a/k/a Rosey) and Ireesh Lal to create worldbeat-tinged downtempo album that just oozes class throughout. This is great stuff, folks, and it really should be in your music collection…

Dave’s Lounge #154: Escapism

Y'know, if Anji Bee can talk about Sasha Vujacic on her site, I figure I can mention my Carolina Railhawks here. Not only did I get to see our new-look football club win its USL season opener against Minnesota on Saturday night, but I got to spend 30 minutes jamming with these guys:

Dave and pals with the NC A&T drumline

That's me in the vest up front, pounding away on the big bass drum. And that's the North Carolina A&T drumline playing behind me. Yes, that was as awesome as it looked. Plus, we won the game, which was also awesome.

Soccer is a fun bit of escapism these days. We all need some escapism in our lives. This week's show ponders that idea a little bit and encourages you to escape into the music — including a brand new project from Dave's Lounge favorite Natalie Walker…
