Melellow like Jelello...

There are a bunch of songs on the "mellower" side that I quite enjoy. I know, it seems odd considering I usually listen to loud electric guitars, but rest assured that I also listen to these songs at a high volume. My ears, after all, crave the ability to drown out the voices...

Yeah, so it's been a while...

Anyhoo, I have a few free minutes to spare and thought I'd throw together a new post. This one is all about my early love of 'rap music'. At least in the woods of NH that's what we called it. I loved how the words would flow, the rhymes would surprise, and the humor would be nestled firmly on the outskirts. A lot of these tunes I'm posting I still listen to. Some of them are a once in a while thing, but most are still held in high esteem by my ears. You be the judge...
