The music Gods were definitely with me today. As I was at the jayo, my ears were telling me to play some Kings of Convenience, so I said okay….let me revisit one of my favorites from them, Misread. So now, i’m over here at Bucks (starbucks) and my ears catch the sound of a clean jazz/soul guitar over some BoomBap type drums. I look up at the screen, and to my luck, it’s another Kings of Convenience joint! I think the music Gods are tellin’ me to do something with one of their tracks…a remix, a flip?! We shaaallll seeeee.
