by Afrika Bambaataa (1982)
Do surprise mystery songs ever show up on your ipod? Ones you know you never downloaded but suddenly appear in a shuffle? Some are frustrating, boring emo rock or some sort of Pavement song from Jim, but Planet Rock by Afrika Bambaataa is one of the most delightful for me. The summer’s road trips have been that much more fun with the Kraftwerk sampled 80’s techno gem.
But what do you think?
