AM/FM x MUSIC FOR LOST FILMS

As mentioned before, while we have a fervent love and refined curiosity for music - both of us are absolutely dreadful at finding new things or even old new things to listen to.  We've enlisted the help of friends we've made on travels near and far to help diversify the sounds around here (Willie, Waylon, Johnny, don't worry, we'll never really leave you). We have Richard Wohlfeil of Lo + Behold in Hamtramck to thank for our inaugural mix :

We met Richie at his shop one very cold November that we spent in Hamtramck filming a documentary for the then newly released Chevy Volt.  He had recently opened up shop and purchased the entire vinyl library from a local radio station that had just called it quits.  We spent a few hours talking to him then about various things (mostly the town, music, and Detroit sound) and felt fortunate to experience what so many people from Hamtramck will tell you: places like Lo + Behold are so much more than a store - they're community centers.

Richie, to that same tune, is a cultural scholar.  He can tell you anything, everything and more about good music. And we mean good music. Like a magic trick he can pull a record from a stack and it will be exactly what the moment called for.  He can cross reference sounds across decades, tell you who influenced who, how, and why. A straight up education.

Enormous thank you, Richie, for sharing this with us :
