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 21 – Gemini Twin Time May 21, 2021
Welcome to the Chaos that is Gemini Season! We’re getting it started fresh and sassy with a bevy of Gemini Singers. Being a Gemini myself, I probably got a bit too excited wanting to celebrate my sign with this episode, so it does span a little further than the 90 minute max of a typical…

Sugar Town Soulful Strut: Pride Party Playlist Part 2
I remember as I sat at Po’Shines for my Birthday Dinner with DJ Action Slacks that I realized that I bought a huge quantity of records from 1965-67 for Sugar Town’s Pride Party. It’s the 50th anniversary of the Golden Summer of Motown, for some reason my tingle went to that time period and the…
