Not much to say - we're all still in shock at the passing of Prince. We put together this podcast to celebrate his musical genius, but can no way come near to scratching the surface of his brilliance. As one friend of ours put it, "He was the one musical icon that WAS an icon." He will be dearly missed.....

Dubs, remixes, instrumentals - a lot of "uncommon" music came out of the 80's, and instrumentals was a genre' that really didn't' get a lot of airplay, so we decided to showcase some of our (and your) favorite instrumentals.
