« Get Your Money Back || current || Late to the Podcast Party »
I finally tracked down a song that got stuck in my head back in August at a Black Eyed Peas show. The fact that this is the first new post in ages might mean there’s a tangential thread to my website and life after all.
A kind waitress from the University & San Pablo Lanesplitter Pizza led me to Lyrics Born (from Berkeley) and a great funky album, Same !@#$ Different Day. The remix includes guests by KRS-One, Morcheeba, Dan The Automator, and DJ Shadow. Apparently I’m way behind the curve on this one, “Callin’ Out” has already made it into a Diet Coke commercial.
Of Note: Lyrics Born is part of a collective called Quannum that includes other Bay area standouts who all met in the early ‘90’s at UC Davis — not the first place you think of as the hot bed of hip hop.
PS The “Splitter” comes highly recommended.
