OL' SKOOL SPRATION: AMERICA

You may not have heard America, but you have HEARD America. They’re the classic band that seem to have written a song for every situation. Whether you’re travelling open highway, reminiscing about lovers past, trying to seduce someone, or riding on a horse in a desert, America has a SONG 4 YOU! Lets start with [...]

OL' SKOOL SPRATION:PAUL HARDCASTLE!!

This video is amazing in so many ways that I find it hard to imagine the words able to justify it’s greatness. KEYTAR! -ZF EDIT: it seems embedding has been disabled ! Watch it on YouTube instead!

PORTISHEAD – ROADS (live)

a crippling, dark despair reverberates through the fabric of this song. it out does even radiohead in striking that plaintive chord. it gently leads us into a dark valley and catatonic with bruised sadness, we willingly go… what seperates this from other angst ridden songs, is the singers high pitched vulnerable vocals which plead without [...]

USED TO LOVE THIS ALBUM

WATCH THIS These guys were CRAAAAAZY! 95 was a good year! But is (bass player) Les Claypool the weirdest dude ever? -ZF

CRANK DAT

I used to drum to this back in the day – – – – FUN -ZF p.s. – why don’t any guitar tones sound like this anymore???

OL’ SKOOL SPRATION: AIR

Air is one of my favorite “bands” ever. Infact, Moon Safari (pictured) is one of my fave RECORDS ever! I once listened to it on repeat while reading “The Time Machine” by H.G. Wells.

OL’ SKOOL SPRATION: NADA SURF – POPULAR

Streets like a jungle……so call the police………

I CAN'T HELP BUT GET DOWN: BROTHERS JOHNSON

Does anyone appreciate really good funk anymore?? Brothers Johnson have always killed it! BUT my fave will always be Strawberry Letter 23 – I bit a sample off this track once! Seriously amazing, although the album art was rather…..questionable. I would describe this cover as ______________. I CAN’T HELP BUT GET DOWN!

THE PAST: RADIOHEAD – JUST (best video EVER?)

I once was told Radiohead released a version of this video where it explains the ending….this is probably not true. Regardless, this video is CRRRRAZY.

OL' SKOOL SPRATION: SOULS OF MISCHIEF
