Madhouse Mondays: Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars

We know how much of a beast Mark Ronson is just by his work with Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen, et. al. This time he hooks up with superkid Bruno Mars and puts a healthy dose of The Time-esque funk on top. Dig.

Madhouse Mondays: Freaky Creek Short Film Festival

Our friends over at Sleepy Creek Vinyards have been hosting one of the coolest film festivals in the midwest for several years now called the Freaky Creek Short Film Festival. This year they received over 600 entries and picked their favorites. This was my own pick for Best in Show. Dig.

 

Madhouse Mondays: Dr. Octagon

I picked up the reissue of Dr. Octagonecologyst this week. Such a strange but delightful ride. Raps by Kool Keith, beats by Dan the Automator, scratches by Qbert. This one might just top the weirdness charts right here. Halfsharkalligatorhalfman.

Madhouse Mondays: Meow the Jewels

Killer Mike and El-P are releasing Run the Jewels 2 next week but as part of their Kickstarter campaign, they offered to remake the album using only cat sounds if they reached their goal of $40,000. Well, the gods must be pleased as this is now in happening. Dig this completely ridiculous trailer for the project.

Madhouse Mondays: Electric Wire Hustle

New Zealand duo Electric Wire Hustle will help you shake the cobwebs out on this dreary Monday morning. Dig this.
