reading. writing. minimal arithmetic.
A lot of folks had probably dropped off by this album, but hot damn does this thing go from start to finish. If I have a writing deadline or just want to feel like I could run headfirst through a brick wall, this is what I'm putting on.

Their second album. Before they became huge stars. Even with “She’s Gone” on here, I feel like this one’s overlooked as a whole album.
Also contains my personal favorite of theirs: “When The Morning Comes”

Labcabincalifornia gets all the love (rightfully so), but Bizarre Ride II The Pharcyde had already solidified their completely unique sound that's jazzy like Digable Planets but playful like Beastie Boys with all the guys interplaying to perfection.

Recorded before, but released after Mellow Gold, One Foot In The Grave went mostly unnoticed. However, it proved that he was much more than “the Loser guy” and laid the groundwork for introspective albums like Sea Change.

Gonna start a thread of albums I consider to be underrated. I wore this sucker out in high school. Still hits hard.

LOVE watching Boiler Room sets, but the setup of letting everyone stand right around the DJs stresses me the fuck out. To their credit, they're usually super cool about getting rammed into, grabbed, hugged, etc.

Pretty incredible to see them play in a restaurant down the street from my house. Great tunes in a fun setting.

More than any other VHS cover in the horror aisle, this one always intrigued me the most. Why is Balbricker from Porky's recreating American Gothic with screaming heads underneath?
The question is more interesting than the movie, but still one HELL of a cover!
