Menthol split their time between Champaign-Urbana and Chicago during their heyday in the late 90's and early aughts. They were among the 'local-boys-make-good-but-then-find-out-why-major-labels-suck' set. Still one of my favorites and I think "Strange Living" is one of the best songs to come out of this area. Let this bump.
There's been a lot of chatter lately about Vince Staples. I haven't really been impressed but this morning I listened to Summertime. Killer vibe. Killer tune. Dig.
The big homie Git has a new banger out with Bob Banner. The vibe is on par with Gang Starr's "Militia" or M.O.P.'s "Ante Up". Pure energy. Bump this in your morning speakers.
Super excited to be playing with Toad the Wet Sprocket this weekend. When I was first learning guitar I listened to this album a lot. Particularly this song - which I hope to hear on Saturday.
Caught Aesop Rock up at Summerfest in Milwaukee this weekend. Been a fan for a long time but somehow missed this cut from last year. Dig it.
