Madhouse Mondays: Birdman

Saw Birdman last night. Easily one of the best films I've seen in recent years. Original, lovable and beautiful. Michael Keaton has never been better. Plus, most of the score comes courtesty of Antonio Sanchez who plays soley on a jazz drum kit. Mezmorizing. Fuck all the blockbusters - this is worth your time and money.

Feel Good Fridays: Silver Jakcson (BUDO Remix)

My buddy Budo continues to kill it with his latest remix of the  Silver Jackson's "Perfect Mistake". Dig this.

Throwback Thursdays: Bunny Wailer

Somedays I just wanna listen to reggae songs that emulate 50's do-wop. Bunny Wailer has just the thing this morning. Dig.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Kentucky basketball

Your 2015-2016 NCAA Champions....the Kentucky Wildcats. Honestly, I'm not sure they will even lose a single game this year. Coach Calipari has a special squad on his hands - actually, he has two. He is mass subbing his starters for another 5, equally huge, equally talented bunch. In the first 13 minutes of the game last night all 10 of those players had already scored. They're good. They're scary good. Look for them in March.

 

Real Talk Tuesdays: Cymatics

The science of sound. Let this blow your little mind on a chilly Tuesday morning.
