Joey Marlowe, Stairway to Stardom, Video in Madhouse Mondays Feel Good Fridays: Curb Service (Remixed)
Friday, June 17, 2011 at 9:46AM Curb Service is coming out of hiding. Tomorrow, downtown businesses in Champaign have put together A Taste of Downtown to coincide with the Taste of Champaign. Various retail stores will have live music from locals. I'll be playing outside of Dandelion (my favorite vintage store, ever). Right after me will be Mr. Magic himself, Ryan Groff. To celebrate, I'm letting you have a peek at the Spinnerty remix of "Brooklyn". This one has been in my pocket for almost 4 years now. Dig in.
Throwback Thursdays: Rappin' Duke
Thursday, June 16, 2011 at 9:14AM Fathers Day is just around the corner. Thinking about getting my old man a copy of True Grit (the Coen Brothers version). I bought him the Charles Portis novel awhile back - we both read it and loved it. The original film, of course, featured an Academy Award winning performance by John Wayne (1970). Fast foward to 1984 and D.C. musician Shawn Brown riffin' on the Duke in this hip-hop classic.
Way Gone Wednesdays: Nas
Wednesday, June 15, 2011 at 9:14AM Way Gone Wednesdays usually focuses on artists that travel out of bounds. Those left-leaning weirdos that I admire so much. But it's also a place for those who flex incredible skill. Nas just dropped the hottest mainstream single I've heard in years (from his new album, Life is Good). I say mainstream because I consider him to be a well-lit artist, but this is real hip-hop. Something I haven't heard from the chart toppers in a long time. No synth tracks, no auto-tune, no Rhianna hook. Just burnin' it down. This track is way gone.
(NOTE: Apparently just a teaser as the track has been removed from Soundcloud. Boo! So...here's the Youtube rip. We win!)
