  1. Get Out Your Hacky Sack

    March 24, 2010 by Ryan

    Loop #127

    Take a little bit of Sublime, mix it up with a dash of 311, and you’ve got yourself some serious stoner-funk-reggae. This particular genre requires one very ringy, high-pitched snare drum, some off-beat hi hat skankin’, and an extra large brownie.

    Crunchy grooves, brah!

    Here’s a four measure loop that will make patchouli oil ooze from your speakers.

  2. Hippies Love Miles Davis

    March 2, 2010 by Ryan

    Here’s a great video (with pristine audio) of Miles and crew at the 1970 Isle of Wright Festival which took place, oddly enough, at The Isle of Wright.

    Note – Dave Holland was rockin’ the “thin headband look” 39 years before Lindsay Lohan. A true innovator, both in jazz bass and fashion.

  3. One for the Hippies.

    March 9, 2009 by Ryan

    Get those djembes out! If you’ve ever met me, then you know there’s nothing I love more than a good drum circle. Take a large group of hippies (preferably ones that haven’t showered in at least a week), light some incense and place them in a public park. Give them a wide assortment of hand percussion and lose yourself in hours of endless tribal drumming (with origins that stem deep into the suburbs of Boulder and Santa Cruz).
