New Segment!
So I’ve finished fleshing out the concept for a brand new segment for The Daily Guru on YouTube.
I am hoping it will premiere sometime in June, but it takes a bit of coordination…but it’s going to be TOTALLY awesome in a brand new way!

Everybody listen to me, I know everything about music, I’m an ignorant fuck!

That is to say, when an artist or band attempts to make very loud or exceptionally soft and delicate sounds, there is far less margin for error than when working...

My Review: EPMD, "Strictly Business" →
As is the case with every genre, during the early years of hip-hop, almost every sub-genre was founded in some manner, though some can be found in more subtle places. Though there is no question where styles like “gangsta” and “jazz fusion” hip-hop came from, there were other artists that were making statements in other directions, and even in its earliest years, one can...
Happy Towel Day!
If you don’t know, you’d better find out…I’d tell you, but I’m just some guy, you know…

Rainy Day: Part II
As it has been most of the past week, it is raining here in Brooklyn…the sky is slightly green, which back in Ohio would’ve made me a bit nervous as that can be a sign of a tornado…though this is more a brownish-green than a greenish-green…but I digress…
I thought I’d toss out some more “rainy day” albums for your listening pleasure:
-J. Mascis,...
Dear Bird Chirping Outside My Window,

Tomorrow’s interview will be 11 minutes (including the song performance)…it’s easily good enough…
Thing I Don't Like
I started with 37 minutes of footage from the interview that will be tomorrow’s edition of “Gabbing With The Guru.”
It is currently just under 13 minutes.
I hate editing out all this good stuff…
There is plenty of awesome remaining…don’t worry…
