Madhouse Mondays: CURB SERVICE feat. Klevah

Issac Arms of Heirship Records invited CURB SERVICE to submit a track for his Crashing the Heirship Vol. II compilation (which is being released on Record Store Day - April 18th). He asked that the track be previously unreleased - so we wrote a brand new tune. I invited Klevah (of the Gr8Thinkaz) to come through and bless the track. This is a fun, heady lil diddy about aliens and government conspiracies. Get lifted already.

 

 

Throwback Thursdays: Duran Duran

Discussing old James Bond movies and their themes with a buddy of mine this week - we established that Duran Duran's "A View to a Kill" is among the best. Which got me thinking about Duran Duran in general and I'm pretty sure "Ordinary World" (from 1993) is my favorite tune of theirs. What's yours?

Way Gone Wednesdays: Rework It

A Missy Elliott remix for breakfast? Sure - dig this treatment by Beta Sector. So good.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Hello Larry

My buddy (and DC comics writer), Tony Bedard just played the theme song from Hello, Larry for me this morning. I totally missed this show but real talk? I would also totally watch it. It's basically Fraiser before Fraiser.  And it has Meadowlark Lemon in it for chrissake!

 

Madhouse Mondays: Primus

I heard a  Primus tune this morning on the way to work. It's safe to say that they're the craziest. Pretty polarizing band but I love this shit.
