Wednesday: Funkadelic – Maggot Brain

It’s George Clinton’s birthday, and in honor of him, we will be playing one of his most celebrated albums. Maggot brain is a masterpiece and the crowning achievement of the funk rock band Funkadelic. George Clinton served as the creative visionary and bandleader for the project. Maggot Brain stands as a harrowing, dark monument that perfectly bridges the raw psychedelic power of the band with the tight driven grooves if their later 1970s catalog.

Thursday: Amy Winehouse – Back To Black

15 years ago today, Amy Winehouse tragically died at the age of 27. She left behind a great legacy of music that will be appreciated for generations to come. In honor of her, we chose to play her iconic 2006 Back to Black album. Back to Black is a special record because it blends 1960s-inspired soul with modern R&B, focusing on personal, emotional themes.

Friday: Black Sabbath – Paranoid

Paranoid is the monumental, sophomore studio album by English heavy metal pioneers Black Sabbath, released on September 18, 1970, through Vertigo Records. Produced by Rodger Bain, this definitive masterpiece is widely regarded as one of the most influential albums in music history, virtually creating the blueprint for heavy metal, doom metal, and stoner rock.

Saturday: The Rolling Stones – Tattoo You

In honor of Mick Jagger’s 83rd birthday, we chose to play one of our favorite Rolling Stones records, Tattoo You. Released on August 24, 1981, the album is a triumphant studio resurrection that became one of the band’s biggest commercial hits, spending nine weeks at number one on the US Billboard charts
Sunday: Tyler the Creator – Flower Boy

Flower boy, entirely produced by Tyler himself, marked a massive sonic and thematic pivot away from the aggressive, shock-rap style of his early Odd Future days toward a lush, jazz-fused, and deeply vulnerable masterpiece. The album represents a profound coming-of-age story, swapping out distorted synths for smooth chord progressions, live instrumentation, and soulful vocal arrangements.

Wednesday: Linda Ronstadt - Greatest Hits

We chose to play this album in honor of Linda Ronstadt’s birthday. Linda Ronstadt aka the “Queen of Rock” is known for her soaring voice and ability to effortlessly cross through multiple genres with style. Linda Ronstadt was the most successful female singer of the 1970s and is still one of the most successful female recording artists in U.S. history.

Thursday: Grant Green - Feelin’ The Spirit

For Grant Green’s 13th album he chose to take on six classic African American spirituals “Just A Closer Walk With Thee,” “Joshua Fit The Battle Of Jericho,” “Nobody Knows The Trouble I’ve Seen,” “Go Down Moses,” “Sometimes I Feel Like A Motherless Child,” and “Deep River.” He composed his ensemble with masters like Herbie Hancock on piano, Butch Warren on bass, and Billy Higgins on drums. This is album is cool, smooth, and easy to listen to.

Friday: MF Doom – MM..FOOD

MM..FOOD, an anagram of MF DOOM, is a concept album and a fan favorite of MF DOOM’s discography. Using food as a universal metaphor, DOOM analyzes street life, industry politics, and his relationships through a culinary lens. If you love comic book lore, loop-driven lofi beats, and dense, and stream-of-consciousness flows, you’ll love this album.

Saturday: Grateful Dead - Lyceum Theatre 5/26/72

The Lyceum Theatre stand was a four-night residency the Grateful Dead played at the end of one of their most celebrated tours. This specific show is known for its second set, which includes a great “Truckin’” > “The Other One” > “Morning Dew” sequence. This show is also famous for being one of Pigpen’s last performances with the band before his untimely passing. After listening to this in our lounge, you should stick around to see Midnight North, the band fronted by Phil Lesh’s son Graham Lesh, in the park at 7:00 pm.

Sunday: Silk Sonic - An Evening with Silk Sonic

The critically acclaimed debut studio album by Silk Sonic, a collaboration between Anderson .Paak and Bruno Mars. The album is a nostalgic homage to 1970s soul, funk, and Philadelphia Soul. The project swept at the 2022 Grammy Awards, winning all four of its nominated categories.

ALBUM OF THE DAY
Graceland, 1986
Paul Simon

Join our 3pm daily “Album of the Day” listening sessions, when we play a complete album, uninterrupted at full volume.

Released in August 1986, this cultural milestone was born out of a profound mid-life creative crisis, leading Simon to defy a UN cultural boycott and travel to Johannesburg to record with black South African musicians. What could have been an exercise in musical tourism instead became a historic, career-redefining collaboration that introduced the joyous, complex rhythms of Mbaqanga and Isicathamiya to a global audience.
Graceland is a radiant, rhythmically ecstatic masterpiece that pairs Simon’s literate, introspective songwriting with the soaring vocal harmonies of Ladysmith Black Mambazo and a blistering, fluid rhythm section. The album is an effortless, cross-continental dialogue where buoyant, danceable basslines carry deeply poetic musings on love, loss, and redemption.

Highlights include the driving, horn-drenched storytelling of “You Can Call Me Al” and the hauntingly beautiful, acapella-driven opening of “Diamonds on the Soles of Her Shoes.” It is a transcendent, life-affirming record that sounds best played loud on a sunny afternoon.

ALBUM OF THE DAY
Synchronicity, 1983
The Police

Join our 3pm daily “Album of the Day” listening sessions, when we play a complete album, uninterrupted at full volume.

Released in June 1983, this multi-platinum juggernaut was the explosive final act of a trio at the absolute peak of their global powers, recorded while the band members could barely stand to be in the same room together. Drawing conceptual inspiration from Carl Jung’s theory of meaningful coincidences, the album successfully transformed high-minded psychological theory into a stadium-sized pop phenomenon.

Synchronicity is a flawless fusion of reggae-tinged new wave, icy synthesizers, and world-beat rhythms, effortlessly bridging the gap between dark, obsessive lyricism and massive, radio-ready hooks. Driven by Andy Summers’ atmospheric guitar work, Stewart Copeland’s frantic drumming, and Sting’s razor-sharp songwriting, the record glides seamlessly between world music experimentation and pure pop perfection. Highlights range from the anxious, driving energy of “Synchronicity II” to the deceptive, melancholic giant “Every Breath You Take.” It stands as a timeless, pristine monument to ‘80s rock.
