Today Madera Verde approaches the music programming of the Stop Makings Sense show as a small child would if left unsupervised at a Woolworth's (RIP) "Pick n Mix" sweet counter. A licorice lace from the impressive GORILLAZ new album to start , a sherbet from the excellent NIGERIA SPECIAL VOL 2 compilation, cherry lips from LIZZY PARKS on a funky samba tip, weird fizzy coke bottles from NACHO PATROL and FLORENCE vs XX vs THE VERY BEST, spongey banana ska garage courtesy of THE WORM, chewy winegums LA/Mex stylee with MARIACHI EL BRONX... the sugar rush kicking in with NO SMOKE and peaking with "stickily but in a good way" toffee from MAJOR LAZER, naughty but nice chocolate raisin MAYRA ANDRADE and a final fruit pastille of NY salsa dura courtesy of WILLIE COLON AND HECTOR LAVOE....before being chased out of of the store by shop security...
