Fresh cuts from Alexander Flood, SiR, TV Girl & George Clanton, Butcher Brown and more right here on your place for new music discovery (and some lovely throwbacks from Prince, Bill Withers and more) right here on Detroit Public Radio.

I asked for your songs that you’d walk up to home plate to if you were a Detroit Tiger for opening day and you didn’t disappoint! Selections ALL FROM DETROIT including Obie Trice, Slum Village and Thornetta Davis — amazing stuff! 

And our friends from Vinyl Tasting stop by to chat about their latest music-turned-menu, this time transforming the music of 2Pac into an upcoming 6-course meal happening at BasBlue not far from our WDET studios. That interview starts around at the 2:20 mark in the audio player above.

Check the playlist below and listen to the episode for two weeks after it airs using the player above.
