What the Fontaine?!WTF: Whitman’s Musical Sampler

"What the Fontaine?!: You never know what you'll hear next on this fun mix of tunes from across the decades and musical genres."

Inspired by today's "Sound Opinions", I bring you music with samples along with the original songs. Think Liquid Liquid / Grand Master Flash, Parliament / De La Soul, Issac Hayes / Public Enemy, Mountain / Beastie Boys, Herbie Hancock / US3, as well as artists like Steve Reich, John Zorn, Eno & Byrne, Fatboy Slim, and DJs Spooky & Shadow. Plus a nod to Spring and bands playing Richmond soon, all tonight 9-11pmEDT.
