Need I remind everyone that this was the last band Jimi Hendrix jammed with before his demise? Damn you pills taking Jimi away from us.

More classic Ohio funk for you, this time from Faze-O. Dayton & Cinci are really making their pitch as the home of funk and I like it. So many good funk bands and all kinds of killer players came out of those two towns. If you expand regionally to include places like Cleveland & Detroit you can develop a true sense for how important the upper midwest was to american music, particularly soul, rock and pop.

The latest and greatest from Roaming Crazy is done and on its way to the epresses!

"Sing Too" is liable to cause spastic brain flams and incoherent fist swings. You will be able to own your own copy very soon but if you want to hear the track now, we gave Jango Radio the exclusive. Go there now and click play on the song to rock now. Don't forget to like it haha.

I had never seen this Sly performance from 1983, playing with Letterman's Paul Shaffer band. The tempo a bit fast in these 80's renditions but Sly is in good spirit and voice so it's all good.

We've lost another pioneer to cancer. Adam "MCA" Yauch, the voice that helped transition the Beasties from goof rap to good rap, succumbed to cancer on May 5th, just a few days after his band was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. You will be missed. In honor of MCA, everyone do a beastie boy "AW YEAH".

Here is an excellent obituary from Books Music on Yauch.
