The second hour in this program is particularly unique, because due to technical difficulties (Felipe loves those), an old record from WREK’s vault’s Continental Drift shelf was dusted off and played in its entirety for a change in a (very rare) installment of a beta-testing-stage segment called “World Album Hour!”. Felipe regrets that the album did not conform to the night’s theme, but it still showcased the world music we all love to hear Mondays from 10 PM until midnight!

Also make sure to check out this edition of Global Shuffle, but due to technical difficulties at the time of recording, the Global Shuffle segment consisted of two songs from WREK’s regular rotation music.
