I've been thinking about doing a Hendrix vs Hip Hop mashup album lately but cant decide on a particular artist. Im leaning towards Eminem because hes got a bunch of material and i could call it the Slimi Mathers Experience or something like that. I'm open to suggestions so please leave some in the comments. Frankly im a bit concerned that nobody seem to like to comment....
Janis Joplin's Mercedes Benz has always been a song which resonated for me. It's just so Hip-Hop. Check out this work in progress that includes Walk It Out.
PS: From my dear mother who didn't know you could comment comes this perfect description of not only Janis Joplin but my roots:
-- Dear mly,
You know that I knew Janis Joplin and lived briefly in the same house with her (married to someone else) boyfriend (Travis Rivers). She was really nice to me. I worked at the Avalon Ballroom where Big Brother was the House Band, so I saw her a lot.
She always got involved with really creepy guys. She was a terrible drunk and used to drink cheap wine constantly. But she sure could sing!
Save the drama for yo momma. I need to see you at the Ambassador twice in the next week cus I'm serving mad styles both this Sat, Mar 15 and next Wed mar 19th. Its one of my favorite places to Dj in San Francisco because the owners are very supportive of creative playlists. In between, for those in the know, is a private event Tuesdays at @ the Palms in Vegas for my boys from Right Gin.

Friggin Missy Elliot!! Although I can't say there are any stand outs on her current album she and Timbaland did change the game. Here are a few Gossip remixes i did around the time it was released. Also up for the first time here at PMFS is an instrumental that some of you may enjoy for funky electro sets.
This Saturday night I'll be Djing @ Slide. Back in the Prohibition Era of San Francisco, 430 Mason Street was a space called the Cable Car Theater. Below the theater was a restaurant called Cafe Dans. In actuality, cafe Dans was not a restaurant, but a speakeasy that could be accessed only by a savvy few that would push a secret wall, leading you to a playground slide. This slide would take you below the street level where one could indulge in illicit gambling and the drinking of bootleg whiskey and spirits. In an era of secret codes and handshakes, the speakeasy was a hidden subculture of nightlife. Old world San Francisco elegance has been reborn. Slide is modern and sophisticated but is also reminiscent of the age of gangsters, flappers and bootleg revelry of years past.
