Mystery of Being.

Wild show ahead on Soul Junction.  Of course, we'll get back into Mayer Hawthorne's excellent new album, plus we'll get down with select originals from the smoking new DJ Lippy mixtape, Bring That Beat Back.  Then let's travel the spaceways with new Sun Ra sides, including volume 2 of the Mike Huckaby edit series and a reissue of the ultra rare Sun Ra quartet, recorded in Italy in 1978!
