Feel Good Fridays: Quelle Chris

Quelle Chris is at it again. Putting out trippy, heady beats and rhymes. The underground is alive and well. Dig (NSFW).

Throwback Thursdays: The Zombies

The British Invasion was full tilt when The Zombies hit the scene in the 60's. Of course they were overshadowed by another band from overseas but they still saw a fair amount of success. 

Way Gone Wednesdays: Antonio Sanchez

A few weeks ago I raved about Birdman - which I believe is one of the best films of the year. I mentioned the drum score by Antonio Sanchez and have since tracked down some of those tunes. Dig this vibe.

Real Talk Tuesdays: It's Not Muzak

Brain Food Records just dropped a teaser for their catalog. Some really great vibes here - put this on and let it boost your afternoon. 

Madhouse Mondays: Blackbird Studio

Spent the weekend with two of my closest friends making music at Blackbird Studio in Nashville. Amazing experience. Truly a magical place.
