We at the Sound Affect always love it when we get introduced to an album we have never heard of!

From the first 30 seconds of The Heats' Have An Idea I was hooked! This is a pure power-pop masterpiece.

Kudos to Autogramm's Lars Von Seattle for introducing us to this gem!

Be sure to check out their latest record Music That Humans Can Play available on Stomp Records in North America and Beluga Records records in the UK!

I rarely post on Facebook, but Trugoy the Dove from the absolutely wonderful Dela Soul has died.

Sadly, they have recently won back the rights to all of their music, and it was set to be released on March 3rd on all platforms and on Vinyl and CD.

Dela Soul is up there with the Beastie Boys for making some of the most important sampling albums ever. They are hip-hop royalty. Poets of positivity. And, at 54 years of age, this is too young.

If you don't know Dela Soul, spend some time on Youtube and enjoy some of the grooviest grooves and some of the best rhymes in hip-hop history.

Dave Azzolini from the Golden Dogs joins us to chat about a band called The Beatles and a little album called The Beatles...aka, The White Album.

In a world of downloadable singles, our hope with this podcast is to look a little deeper at what influences musicians and see the impact an album (as opposed to a single) can have on an artist’s work. The Sound Affect is about discovering (or re-discovering) a record that has influenced a musicia...
