Music Friyay: Tame Impala, David Casper, Mulatu Astatke

By Joanna C. Valente

Here’s some music, new and old, you should listen to and check out:

Tame Impala - “Remember Me”

If you like weird, new psychedelic rock, this song (from 2009) is for you.

David Casper - Crystal Waves

If you need some meditation music, and music to just generally calm you down, this 1983 album is for you.

Mulatu Astatke - Mulatu Of Ethiopia

This 1971 album is beautiful - and the perfect soundtrack for everything and anything.
