It’s the Birdflu - Rockin the Alpaca Socks in the Style Lounge

Author: Sonar  //  Category: Just Blogging, Music, Past Events, Stone Groove

DJ Birdflu took the liberty of hooking up a cassette tape deck in the Charleston Fashion Week “Style Lounge” and recording a portion of his set that set the tone for the rest of fashion week. (For those young readers of the blog who have not seen a cassette tape here’s what one is.) I was very excited that Birdflu asked me to put this up on the Stone Groove Podcast. He did an awesome set for the whole time he was in the style lounge. Anyway, I did not do anything to the audio except take it straight from the tape to .mp3. So you will hear some tape crackle and noise, but that just adds to the authenticity of a real vinyl DJ like Birdflu.

The Power of Colt 45

Author: Sonar  //  Category: Just Blogging, LOL :p, Music


I was talking with Birdflu the other day about the latest People Under The Stairs Album “Carried Away.” We got to talking about the limited edition 7″ of the track “Beer” with samples from the Billy Dee Williams Colt 45 commercial in the 80’s. This commercial is so damn smooth! Listen to that background music! I tell you what that is one serious can! Billie Dee has to crack that can three times and every time listen to that sound. No wonder why Billie Dee got all the women. Hit the jump for the Colt 45 Commercial and the People Under The Stairs track.
