Cymande on KCRW
Late Pass, Music, The Good Old Days, VideosThe self-titled Cymande compilation is one of my favorite discs ever. It infiltrated our crew during our early college years, and became the soundtrack to our late teens and twenties. From winter cyphers to summer road trips, it got extended burn throughout—I even sampled one of the songs on my first Stan Ipcus album. And I still listen to it all the time. In fact, I was just talking about them with my boy Matis the other day.
Anyway, pardon the randomness of this post, but last night I came across a couple sweet live Cymande videos from an in-studio session at KCRW earlier this year that I’d like to share. Check them out performing “The Message” up top, and “Bra” below. Enjoy, and watch the full performance HERE.
Billy On The Street with Jon Hamm
Comedy, Interviews, TelevisionI know people find this dude Billy Eichner to be annoying, but I think he’s hilarious. Check out his latest Billy On The Street segment where he runs around the streets of NYC asking people if they’d have a threesome with him and Mad Men star Jon Hamm. Fun stuff.
