NO GPS After Sunset

In this weeks episode Mez & Aharon (with the help of producer-man Matt) talk about music. Everything from the deep meanings laden in the fast raps of the Heavy D's & Bone Thugs n Hamrony's, to Luther Vandross' extraordinary rendition of Burt Bacharach's 'A House Is Not a Home', and to the transcendental Blues of Malian guitarist Ali Farka Toure. Peep this treasure of obscure facts and philosophical insights into the true cultural functions of black music in the New World.

*Correcting Mistakes:

Aharon mistakenly refers to Tevin Campbell as Tevin Brown.

He also mistakenly refers to Robert Johnson as Randy Johnson.
