I Do What I Want with DJ Kendo

 

Episode 2

Welcome to another "I Do What I Want" show where jazz occasionally plops right down next to exotica, lounge, muzak, bachelor pad, electronica, funk and just plain weirdness; all for your fun and enjoyment. This episode has a theme and even visuals! When you get to the song "Choo Choo" by Twink, start the video that's just below the audio player. Originally mixed and streamed live on Mixcloud 3-9-2024.
