There's so much talent in our little community. I've been here for almost 15 years and I still meet and discover new people every week - out there doing it. Take Eric Surreal for example - making some real heady beats while working with some of C-U's best talent. Put it this on to get your Monday started, you won't be sorry.

I've heard this song a hundred times over the years but this week I caught a little bit of word play that had previously escaped me. "Postin' a poster of Poncho and Cisco". Brilliant. Dig this 1970 classic by Mark Lindsay.

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.

Eventually they changed their name to War but this song was released as Eric Burdon & War. Such a trippy little tune and I'm still not 100% sure what it's about. A dream? A vision? An acid trip? I don't know but I do know that I'm 100% down.

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.
