Throwback Thursdays: Desmond Dekker

Desmond Dekker might be my favorite artist from the rock steady/early ska days. Dig this cut from 1968 (hopefully you already know it).

Way Gone Wednesdays: Mr. Lif

Last week Mr. Lif shared the previously unreleased "The Fringes". A song that was one of the original drafts for what eventually became "Success" (on I Phantom). I miss Lif. 

Real Talk Tuesdays: Hova and Bey

We sat down Sunday night to watch the On The Run tour on HBO. There might not be two bigger stars on the planet than Jay Z and Beyonce. Helluva show - highly reccomend you take the time to watch. Here's the opening. You're welcome.

Madhouse Mondays: Charlo Greene

I wish shit like this happened more often. Alaskan news reporter Charlo Greene reveals herself to be the owner of a local cannibas club and then quits in grand, Walter White-esque fashion. 

Feel Good Fridays: Psymun

Just got turned onto Minneapolis beat maker, Psymun. Dig this vibey instrumental. It's what your friday needs.
