Madhouse Mondays: DJ Qbert

Qbert gets it - if you're going to sell music to collectors these days, you need to make it special. Dig this limited edition vinyl for his new album, Extraterrestria.

Bonus Post: HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!

Taking myself off-line for the rest of the week (and then some). Happy holidays to you and yours. Enjoy this Christmas classic and treat each other right.

Feel Good Fridays: Wham!

My absolute favorite Christmas song is kind of a downer. But I heard it on the way to work this morning and sang my ass off. This is, for lack of a better term, my jam. 

Throwback Thursdays: The 13th Floor Elevators

Possibly the first psychadelic band, The 13th Floor Elevators (from Austin, TX) influenced the likes of ZZ Top, The Jesus and Mary Chain and Primal Scream. Dig these sounds straight from 1966.

Way Gone Wednesdays: D'Angelo

D'Angelo's loooooong awaited third album is finally here (Black Messiah). We've been waiting 14 years. Last week, "Sugah Daddy" leaked and the internet lost it's mind. But here he is playing that song live in Zurich almost three years ago. I guess we slept on this. Dag. So good.
