Part high school reunion, part interview show, ‘Def Comedy Jam 25’ is a fun 90 minute journey on Netflix. As more than one comedian noted, there was a time when black comedians could be killing it for years and never even dream of being on the Tonight Show. Russell Simmons recognized the void and […]
The Golden Age Hip Hop station was the soundtrack as I ran my Sunday errands today, so we’re starting this week with one of rap’s first classic jams. Enjoy!
We made it to another weekend. When I hear this now, I think ‘this could be the song everyday.’ Today was just the day I decided to post it. Have a good weekend everyone.
Blue eyed souling into this weekend. I saw these guys live years ago, so I know how well their catalog holds up live (and with choices like today’s song, maybe even better heard sung in person.) Have a good one gang!
I was aware I hadn’t seen him make any public appearances in years, but still felt a little sad tonight to hear about the passing of Hugh Hefner. First, the big stuff that everyone will touch on, in one way or another. The magazine of course, which came onto the zeitgeist at the perfect […]
RACHEL: ‘What will you do?’ BRUCE: ‘Rebuild it. Just the way it was, brick for brick.’ ALFRED: ‘Just the way it was, sir?’ BRUCE: ‘Yeah. Why?’ ALFRED: ‘I thought this might be a good opportunity for improving the foundations.’ BRUCE: ‘In the southeast corner…’ ALFRED: ‘Precisely sir…’
Video One this week is one of the few bass lines I (or any beginner) can play on the guitar. As for Freddie Mercury and this outfit, what else can you say? Hell, what needs to be said?!? Enjoy!
A hip hop ending to this week. Spotify threw me one of my favorite albums from my generation, so we’ll go with one of the ‘other’ singles. Man these boys could flow… Have a good one folks!
The role player/character actor tribe lost a good one today. In retrospect, the first time I saw Frank Vincent was the ‘fire hydrant’ scene in ‘Do the Right Thing’. Like most of you though, I’ll always associate him with gangster flicks: ‘Raging Bull’, ‘Casino’, ‘The Sopranos’… and of course, this all-time, all-time classic scene […]
Today, we go back to music. Even as a kid, I thought wearing our clothes backward was a stupid fad. Yes of course I did it when we had ‘Backwards Day.’ Enjoy!
