Out of the Box

Tonight is the inaugural Out of the Box DJ night. That Dude Trey and I will be dropping all of those jams you love but either forgot or other DJ's aren't playing. Plenty of 90's R&B, underground hip-hop, choice 80's and some good ole funk. Stop through the Nomad and holler at your boys!

80's Versus Hip-Hop Friday

VS.

It's the last Friday of the month which means That Dude Trey and I go into St. Paul with 80's hits and hip-hop jams a-blazing! Come through Shamrocks tomorrow night to get your St. Paul boogie on.

New Sage Francis

Forget hip-hop meets rock, electro, or jazz. Sage Francis is getting it in with classic composer Yann Tiersen and Brian Deck. The two's style lends an unlikely wonderful backdrop to Sage Francis' emo vocals. The first single finds misfit tales perfectly positioned next to a movie score about a wide-eyed child discovering the world and himself. Very reminiscent of P.O.S.'s "Purexed."

JGoods for Mayer Hawthorne

The local streetwear and shoe-customizers, JGoods, whipped up something classy for Mayer Hawthorne for his First Ave appearance last week. Mayer showed much love on Twitter and elsewhere. It's definitely been a good look for these talented local kids. For more dope stuff from this collective, be sure to peep their website--> JGoods
