Here Comes the Hotstepper – Dr. Dog Dr. Dog‘s cover of the iconic 90’s dancehall hit “Here Comes the Hotstepper” was quite the surprise when I first heard it this week on the way back home. Laid-back and fun, this is one of the more effortlessly cool songs of all time, with this less polished Read more

Fadeaway- BoDeans I think my dad introduced me to the BoDeans when I was in high school, with this song, “Fadeaway,” as well as their biggest hit, “Closer To Free.” I don’t know a ton about the BoDeans themselves, but they’re from Wisconsin and randomly made an appearance on the Netflix show, The Ranch, which Read more

Praise You – Fatboy Slim Happy Friday! Fatboy Slim, aside from having one of the best stage names of all time, is one of the most prolific and influential electronic artists in the history of the genre. His catalog is pretty incredible in terms of making hits, and I believe he has the record for Read more

Tighten Up – (Live At Dallas Memorial Auditorium, August 26th, 1968) – The James Brown Orchestra In yesterday’s post, I mentioned how James Brown really helped me understand and appreciate a killer band. I decided to feature one of my favorite instrumentals today, “Tighten Up,” performed by James’ band, not yet officially known as the Read more

I’m sure most everyone is aware of Spotify Wrapped and Apple Music Replay, and I thought it would be fun to share my listening year in review.

Buena – Morphine I only know two songs by Morphine, but as soon as I’m done writing this post, that will change. I had totally forgotten about this song until a recent trip through shuffle on my entire library. “Buena” is a super bluesy and grimy track that features a great bass line and absolute Read more
