North Avenue

E. North Avenue by Kidd Russell (download here) (Buy from Amazon) A catchy tune that reminds me a little bit of Arrested Development – the band not the show. Apparently Kidd Russell used to be a College Football star and turned his music 101 class into a career.

Run Rabbit

Run Rabbit Run by Eminem (download here) (Buy from Amazon) This is an incredible song by Eminem. There is no chorus, but an escalating rant. It’s almost like he can’t take a moment to stop and have a chorus. If you like Lose Yourself, you’ll probably like this. Give it a second to get some [...]

Summer Love

Summer Love by Justin Timberlake (download here) (Buy from Amazon) One of the better songs off the FutureSex album. I find this song frequently gets overlooked even though it was a single and the album won a Grammy. Whatever, it’s still the best song on the album. With this song and his appearances on SNL, [...]

Better Things To Do

Better Things To Do by Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings (download here) (Buy from Amazon) A little funk and soul for your Thursday. One critic said about this album, which was released in April, that it “literally sounds exactly like something that could have been recorded between the late 1950s and mid-to-late 1960s.” Which [...]

Regulate by Warren G (download here) (Buy from Amazon) Just an old classic for those who are looking to push things back into the G-funk era. I still can’t believe how great this tune is

Can You Get To That?

Can You Get To That by Funkadelic (download here) Couldn’t be happier about this song. Such a groovin’, jammin’ tune. Released in 1971 on an album called “Maggot Brain,” it stands the test of time. Happy Friday everyone

Plundering My Soul

Plundered My Soul by The Rolling Stones (download here) (Buy from Amazon) This track is a previously unreleased tune that was a throwaway from Exile on Main Street album. Everything but the vocals were done in 1972 and Mick just recently laid down the final parts. Let me tell you, it’s amazing. Old school guitar [...]

How You Like Me Now?

How You LIke Me Now? by The Heavy (download here) (Buy from Amazon) This is sort of an old school jam that could have been released in the 70′s but instead it came out last year from a group of English musicians. It’s pretty sweet.
