In a mod mod mad world, your favorite DJ lost track of a solid 4 months. I became sort of a “Mystery Man!” Jokes aside, an episode of Listening With Larsupreme intended to coincide with the latest James Bond franchise release got sidelined by stress and strife, and some technology snafus until now. The titular…

Playing Favorites: A Top 40 Selection of Your DJ’s Favorite Singers
Here we are, winding down the mixes and the decade that brought them to life. For the penultimate mix in the old format, we’re gonna go with voices that have brought me the most joy over the years. In our current world, people aren’t really allowed to ‘play favorites.’ I’m sorry. But not. I do….
The Candy Bowl: 31 Flavors of Men to Savor
As I head towards the finish line of mixes, I do realize that my homage to women in music history through the mid-century and beyond has dominated the proceedings. I am also a queer that loves a good man. Whether that’s one that’s easy on the eyes or easy on the ears (preferably both) I’ve…
Guys Gone Uptown: 32 Sophisticated Soul Tunes from Stylish Gents

Man Crushes and Masturbatory Materials: 36 + Faces of Sixties Soul
I do realize when I pull together these mixes that aren’t themed around Astrology, CIS-gendered vintage men kinda get the short end of the stick. It comes from my place that in the terms of music history, women in general don’t get anywhere near the equal coverage in their monumental role in shaping our pop…
Magic Brews and Spells For You: Halloween Harmonies Volume 1
I heard the clarion call for frightening soul when fellow DJ Miss Yes complained that she was already maxed out on “The Monster Mash.” Although there’s really plenty of Halloween specific songs to go around, there’s plenty of dark, thrilling and noir songs to go around for this season that thins the veils and gets…
Step Out From ’66 – Step Out Front in ’16. Your New Year’s Playlist
If you know anything about my vintage pop culture junkie ways is that I do ridiculous tie-ins to the eras I’m interested in. As we creeped into 2016, which makes 1966 50 years ago, I thought of an Oldsmobile slogan from that year as I started to craft the first mix I’ll be creating in…
