My favorite record store turns 40 and they threw a party last weekend. There was a DJing polonaise with a lot of friends of the store, like me. We all did a 15 minute set. Loads of fun!

With an incredibly heavy heart the Hurley family and his close friends are sad to announce that Michael Hurley passed away on April 1st. Despite not feeling well Michael had just completed a brief tour that culminated in two appearances at the Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN. Very sad times.

KILL YOUR MASTERS, my book on Run The Jewels, is in stores December 1.

It's the story of a bromance that shook music, politics and the world.

I think it's pretty cool.

The undeniable advantage of using Spotify is that the music is imbued with the awesome vibes of its founders, an association that becomes an intrinsic part of the music forever.
