One of the most famous pictures from the American West portrays the Apache warrior Geronimo behind the wheel of an early Cadillac. Most of us have seen this picture countless times in magazine articles, schoolbooks, newspapers and documentaries.

James Arthur’s career has been one of very public highs and lows. Arthur first gained international attention for winning The X Factor in 2012, but he didn’t have his eyes set on the show until his mom forced him to audition. He had spent the past decade gigging around the UK, trying to break through as a musician with no luck, and found himself too broke to pay his electricity bill…
This long-lost end-of-the-century dance track is nothing less than a reading list of feminist and LGBT cultural and counter-cultural icons. A chorus of female voices chants noteworthy names to a hypnotic beat and the message to those who were still living at that time was clear and unequivocal: “Don’t you stop / I can’t live if you stop”.

Track submissions always get me excited and even a little giddy – this one was no exception. I’m so glad Michael Barrow stumbled on this playlist and submitted one of his band’s songs because this week’s track has been stuck in my head since the first time I heard it…and I’m not sorry about it.
Suicide. It’s in the air. If you’re reading this in the future this was the week where Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain took their own lives and we all became familiar with the phrase suicide contagion. And it’s shit – it’s shit for us who remain – who watch the tributes pour in as the tears pour out – and it’s the same damn question every time – Why!? Why?! Why?!
One week i’m totally adding Gene Autry’s “Back In The Saddle Again” to the list – oh sure it would defeat the purpose of having instrumental music to help you writers out there but i bet you’re all familiar with the idea of returning to something after a break – it’s a weird thing!
Days of the New, AKA Travis Meeks was a powerful force in the last 90’s rock scene, touring with Metallica and holding down the Number 1 spot on the Billboard Rock chart for a record breaking 17 weeks straight with the grungy acoustic jam “Touch, Peel and Stand”, which came from their debut album titled “Orange”…
I remember many times walking through the hallways of my high school, locking eyes with the girl of my dreams, yet neither of us stopped to say hello. I was too paralyzed by my fear to know what would become of my feelings. This is what “Only In Dreams” is all about…
The legendary, prolific Madlib remade Ronnie Foster’s “Mystic Brew”, along with several other Blue Note recordings, for his 2003 “Shades of Blue” album.
