Researching names he’s dropping in the first half gives me this mellow late-night mix for you: Jimmy Reed Says Keith, “He had two tempos. But he understood the magic of repetition, of monotony, transforming itself to become this sort of hypnotic, trancelike thing. We were fascinated by it, Brian and I. We would spend every [...]

Oakland, another reason to love you and your mysterious ways. Plus that Fred hoodie is almost blowing my mind as much as young Miss Kreayshawn (and her video-texting) herself.

Die Antwood brings more ahem BOUNCE to the OUNCE (if by “ounce,” you mean “d & b’s bobbin in a pair of dark side of the moon underpants). Please enjoy: “What does that mean?” “Whatevah, man. *uck ‘Em.”

Phil Collins apparently produced this Frida (from Abba) jam. It’s a sweet jam a jam a jam-mm. I like it as a mid-afternoon pump-up. Try it. That’s right…TURN IT UP.
