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.

Listening with Larsupreme Episode 27 – Lovin’ Libra September 30, 2021
It shouldn’t be a surprise that there’s a host of vintage soulful scale balancers in the legacy of Rhythm & Blues. We’ve been blessed for decades with the diverse, regal talent of the second Venus Ruled sign. Surprisingly, there’s plenty of people that stood back from the spotlight to be songwriters, and background singers. Some…
Prime Time for ’69: 50 Girl Power Gems from 50 Years Ago

Mamie Galore “Special Agent (34-24-38)” (St. Lawrence 1004, 1965)
Mamie Galore “Special Agent (34-24-38)” (St. Lawrence 1004, 1965) If any soul singer won the stage name sweepstakes, the once Mamie Louise Davis renaming herself Mamie Galore sure wins. Not only did Mamie pick a name to be reckoned with, she made her recording debut in 1965 with the most action hero of singles. Why…
So an Aries, a Gemini and a Sagittarius contemplate Holiday Songs (A Playlist)
Once upon a time, around the warm glow of our collective computer screens around the world, Me, John Hamilton of Chart Rigger and Jens Keller of Beat Frauleins came up with an epic Facebook Thread of Christmas songs you might know, but are more likely not to know.
