Chris Faust took the stage at SUNY New Paltz’ Rock Against Racism festival this weekend to perform for the college crowd.  The vibes of his  band, Good Day Good Night, along with the sultry backing vocals of Cocoa Sarai resonated with the laid back crowd and many new fans were won over.  Faust recently released the first issue of Villain to much acclaim earlier this month, with Issue 2 of 3 slated to drop on May 15th.  ATWL made the trek to upstate NY for the show and now we’re proud to provide our exclusive soundboard recording of Maybe Now Begins (off of FAUST) from the set.

D’Angelo’s long awaited comeback tour has been in full swing across Europe.  First we had a recording pop up from Paris, then another recording from Stockholm surfaced, but now we saved the best for last.  We are proud to present a recording of D’Angelo’s complete set @ Paradiso from Feb 2nd, 2012, taped and mastered by Justin.  Not only is this much better quality than previous recordings from this tour, but its also a fantastic show.  Check out the setlist, streams and download links below (both in MP3 and FLAC).
