By Justin Cox

This album dropped right in the heart of my formative years. It was faster and grittier than Green Day (who was conquoring the world at the time) but maintained enough of those same pop sensibilities to hold the attention of my middle school self. I like it as much today as I did then, which can't be said for some of the other stuff I listened to at that time. (I'm looking at you, Offspring). Here’s some background on the album, via Wikipedia:

The Grapevine: When You Pick Up Da Funk!

Tue, 03/17/2015 - 7:56pm | Rodriguez

Come join a special broadcast of The Grapevine on Wednesday, March 18th at 6:00 pm for the KDRT debut of some exceptionally righteous Soul + Funk by Lew Hopson. This album just landed at KDRT and without a doubt, serves the sound previously laid down by James Brown, Tower of Power, Otis and even Sam Cooke for the good side of soul music.

We'll be playing a good portion of this new release from RudeLab Records so be sure to hang close to your radio, turn it on up!, and dig the sounds on KDRT!

Here's a little more info on Lew:

New Orleans flavor jazz, and more!

Album of the Week (3/19) @5:00PM KIND of BLUE Miles davis

Tue, 03/17/2015 - 5:08pm | Pieter Pastoor

One of the top selling jazz albums in history. Yet KIND OF BLUE is kind of a mystery. Lost masters, flaws in recording, tape speeds set incorrectly. Listen in as host Jesse Deere kind of tries to solve (or atleast) explain this to us all.
