Nuts' Five Sock Rocking Musical Experiences of '08

5. Finding a Compilation of Billie Holiday and Lester Young in the $2 dollar bin at Streetlights.

4. Having an intense juke box face off with this killer heavy set middle-aged black lady and her boyfriend at my local watering hole, and having it end in a dance flurry to Bill Wither’s “Harlem” while a super hot chick danced on the bar, and the place was so hopin that the bartender walked around with a bottle of Jameson and poured free shots all around the bar.

3. Going to see a friend’s band play an AA sponsored party at a dive bar where they only served Rockstars, no alcohol, totally new experience/crowd/degree of awesomeness.

2. Last Friday’s start of Jazz in the park on Santana Row, my favorite event here in San Jose besides the Indy Race cars.

1. Getting two bottles of Gentleman Jack from my nightclub alcohol distributor in exchange for the dance mix I had made for the bar/dance floor atmosphere.

Five Standout Singles…

1. “Move On Up” Lettuce feat Dwele.
My number one band that I must see live in an outdoor setting before the summer is over.

2. “Everyday is Sunday” The Slackers
Always will remind me of summer 2008.

3. “The Step and Walk” The Duke Spirit
The first two songs of their new album Neptune has been crucial to my latest pre party, get stoked routine.

4. “Falling” Gaelle
Not a 2008 original, but a golden discovery in an R&B/Soul obsession that I experienced for a few weeks in 08’.

5. “My Problems” Jinnrail
There are a few answers to questions that have always eluded me such as, why do farts in the shower smell way worse than regular farts? Why are there no traditional Indian or Chinese breakfast foods? Did a whole continent miss out on the most important meal of the day? And the last is why do I love songs about drugs and doin it so much? I guess I will never know.
