Way Gone Wednesdays: BoJack Horseman

It took me about 3 episodes to be totally sold on BoJack Horseman - the new animated series from Netflix featuring the likes of Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Allison Brie, Patton Oswalt and Aaron Paul. It's a solid comedy and gritty without resorting to Seth McFarlene-esque mean jokes. Plus, the theme (written by Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney) is the dopest shit since RJD2 dropped that Mad Men joint on us.

Real Talk Tuesdays: Kellylee Evans

I love discovering new artists. Canadian songstress Kellylee Evans is worth the listen. Dig these flavors.

Madhouse Mondays: 20/20

Let's slip back to 1981 and watch this 20/20 news report on a new phenomenon, rap music. So good.

Feel Good Fridays: Kirkwood West

I work with this cat - Kirkwood West. He's got vibey beats for days. Fuck with him.

Throwback Thursdays: L.L. Cool J

I recently copped Walking With a Panther on vinyl. I sat down with it last night and it took me right back to 1989. This cut in particular. Go L.L.
