Finally got into my full on dive bar jukebox vibes by celebrating the belated 75th birthday of Phil Lynott, the bass-playing lead singer of the greatest Irish band of all time, Thin Lizzy. Plus, new music from Fievel Is Glauque, a lovely Beatles cover by Milton Nascimento and Esperanza Spalding, Youth Lagoon, Lucy Rose and more.

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