"In the Groove" host Ryan Patrick Hooper in WDET's studios in Detroit.

Obsession of the week is no doubt “Jealous Boy” by Bug Club, who are quickly becoming one of my favorite bands of the past couple years. They’re getting ready to drop a new album later this year, so they’ll be in heavy rotation no doubt. Karen Nyame KG’s excellent remix of Joshua Idehen’s “Tactics for Survival” stopped me dead in my tracks, too. Heavy on Portishead and their former lead singer Beth Gibbons, who will be bringing her solo record (and some Portishead selections) to the Masonic Cathedral Theatre on April 7. Enjoy!
