Radio 2310

This is the winner of the Oscar for Best Animated Short film “Logorama” and all I can say is that its 16 minutes of pure awesome. “Ronald McDonald packing heat” is enough to get me excited alone but that’s like one of about two dozen things to love about it. There is some language (quite a bit actually) in this one so don’t play it out loud around the kiddies.

Mick Boogie did this mixtape a while ago but he tweeted out the link today so I thought I’d post it up. Its a free (albeit extremely large – 129 MB) download. Once you click the link you’ll have to wait for a few seconds before you’ll be able to actually download it but it’s totally worth the wait.

I was on my way home last night from dinner in Tremont (at Parallax which is a hellified spot for sushi and plenty of other fare so check it out when you’re in Cleveland) listening to Sirius Backspin when I heard “Fakin the Funk” by Main Source.  I hadn’t heard that jam in a while so I thought I’d start a running gimmick on this blog with a different Old Skool joint each day, and “Fakin the Funk” was going to be the first one.

Then of course I remembered that today is the Anniversary of Notorious B.I.G.’s death and that changed that program up quick. 

I could’ve gone with a myriad of Biggie’s songs but I chose this one because its the one that introduced him to me.  Supercat’s “Dolly My Baby” from ‘93 – which gave us the line “I love it when you call me Big Poppa” that Puffy then sampled a the next year.  I’ve still got this one in the wax collection – although I’m pretty sure it belongs to someone else and just ended up in my hands.
