Way Gone Wednesdays: BoJack Horseman

It took me about 3 episodes to be totally sold on BoJack Horseman - the new animated series from Netflix featuring the likes of Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Allison Brie, Patton Oswalt and Aaron Paul. It's a solid comedy and gritty without resorting to Seth McFarlene-esque mean jokes. Plus, the theme (written by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney) is the dopest shit since RJD2 dropped that Mad Men joint on us.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Hotel Eden

A few weeks ago, Broad City aired an episode that (according to their Twitter) was completely scored by RJD2. I wrote to him wrote to him going bonkers over a certain song only to find out this morning that it was instead Hotel Eden. Dig this cut and support these cats - phenomenal stuff. (Props to Michele Langria for sorting this out).

RJD2 is back and if this cut is any indication of what's to come, we're all in for a wild ride. This is the Candy Panther remix, dig the original here.
