La Musica Coolica #46 (Bonde do Rolê)
This week musica coolica is kind of a big deal for two reasons. First, it is the year anniversary since I started doing musica coolica. Hahahahah, ok, that really isn’t that big of a deal. The other thing is that Reagan and I will be headed to Brazil, on Friday. So, in anticipation of our…

La Musica Coolica #45 (CS)
Common Sense is one of those few rappers from the midwest, who was able to make it big. He hails from Chi-town, and was born “Lonnie Rashid Lynn, Jr.” He got his start in the early 90’s known mostly by the underground hip-hop crowd. He has done quite a bit of experimentation with his sound,…

La Musica Coolica #44 (BG)
First of all, only one of the Brazilian Girls, is actually a girl. She is the lead singer, Sabina Sciubba, and she is not Brazilian. Fantastic name for a group, nonetheless. As it turns out, Brazilian is about the only thing that Sciubba, is not. Hahahaha. She grew up in Munich and Nice. In addition…

La Musica Coolica #43 (GT)
Girl Talk is a dude who has a serious gift for building mash-ups. This is a genre (if there is such a thing as a mash-up genre) that I have been a fan of for a while. For those who have been reading my rants for a while, have no doubt seen me dribble about…

La Musica Coolica #42 (CVB)
Camper Van Beethoven is the group that eventually became Cracker. Although they could definitely be classified as rock, they have a kind of unique sound. I’m sure that the fact they have a violin in the mix, has a lot to do with it. I really got into these guys during high school. I was…

La Musica Coolica #41 (CB)
Spicing it up (or dumbing it down, depending on perspective) a bit, this week, with a video. I normally don’t like to clutter this page up, too much with videos (unless they are of Piper or Reagan), but I’m making an exception this time. Since Labor Day, has already thrown everything off kilter this week…

La Musica Coolica #40 (CSNZ)
Chico Science & Nação Zumbi, is a Brazilian rock/funk/hip-hop-outfit. Chico Science was the point man of Nação Zumbi until he was killed in the late 90’s by a drunk driver. He was the creative force behind the music. Even the album artwork was heavily influence by Chico. The image of a crap appears on almost…

La Musica Coolica #39 (7L&Eso)
7L and Esoteric are a hip hop group out of Boston. They rhyme about Jamie Lee Curtis and Wookies. I like them. Here is Feudal Lords (feat. Nejel Mongrel) (be forewarned, it has the “s” word).

La Musica Coolica #38 (Nirvana)
As with probably half, or even more than half of my generation, one of my all-time favorite rock bands is Nirvana. There is nothing that I can write about them that hasn’t already been written 1000 times over. The song that I’m sharing from them, is not actually a Nirvana, song. It was actually written…

La Musica Coolica #37 (DP)
I had kind of forgotten about these guys, until one of my old homies from HS brought them up on FB. So, thanks, Mike! I first heard of Digable Planets on a compilation album that I picked up for free at this record shop I used to work out. The compilation is called “Jazzafunkapyschadelic.” It’s…
