No Turn Unstoned #110: STARS fell on alabama
Instead of doing a typical mother’s day set, I thought I’d treat my grandma and mama like STARS in the sky… Besides, all the mama songs I found were quite negative like James Brown’s Mama’s Dead, Vincent Gallo’s No More Papa Mama, Stars of the Lid’s Requiem for Dying Mothers and Goldie’s one-hour of screaming Mother… Entertaining the thought of putting that set together was making me depressed… Feel free to enlighten me about good mother songs that are not too depressing or “syrupy” for that matter for a proper mother set in the future. Let me know the other songs in the comments, and I’ll consider it for a part two show for this theme.

No Turn Unstoned #109: A Tribute to ROY AYERS
This week I am doing a tribute to the great ROY AYERS! I went to a tribute for him by The Robert Glasper Trio and Pete Rock last weekend in Harlem, and at 69 he blew every youngin’ on the stage out of the water… So, I thought I’d do my own tribute to the man, myth, and one of the most sampled musicians ever.
