LAB EXCLUSIVO! Melker slid us a bunch of these, a new live CD that he whipped up for his tour with G.Love & Special Sauce. I can honestly say that I haven't heard a more entertaining mix this year - if you're not afraid of a little cheese (...or a lot of cheese...) then sit back and bask in the glorious fusion of "Lean Back" and RHCP's "Dani California," The Smiths' "How Soon Is Now" rubbing up against Ying Yang Twinz, or the piece de resistance: Grateful Dead's "Casey Jones" vs. Lil Mama's "Lip Gloss." That's just the tip of the iceberg - the mix is split up into five sections (Hysteria, Mania, Schizophrenia, Delirium, Dementia) with over 40 tracks total, including stuff from: Lil Jon, John Mellancamp, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Amy Winehouse, The Roots, Allman Brothers, The Offspring, Pearl Jam, Slick Rick, Alice In Chains, Porno For Pyros, Joe Budden, Tears For Fears... you get the point. Tons of fun (especially when served with alcohol).
