They're playing Saturday, June 20th at the Telegram Ballroom. That tune is called Picture on the Wall from the Beyond the Sun LP, their latest LP. That's out on Shinachi Entertainment Records, featuring the vocals of Miss Adrienne de Leon. Prior to that, we heard Sarah Vince out of Amsterdam. 94 was the name of that tune from the Here to See record out in 2013. Started off the set with the new Master Sounds. Slow Down is the name of that tune featuring Ryan Zoitis from their Therapy record out last year. On One Note Records. That brings us right up to present time. What's up, loved ones? Hey, y'all, this is Neighborhood Love Radio. We are the musical extension of neighborhood-love.com. What's that, Johnny? Well, I'll tell you, it's a website devoted to street culture, music, food, fashion, art, specifically graffiti. Et cetera. Come check out neighborhood-love.com. Don't be shy about checking out the shop button. Click the shop button, and there you will see skateboard decks, T-shirts, stickers, et cetera. Loved ones, I'm not sure if you know this. This is a run. There is no profit to be had from this particular program. I just love playing music for people. And Neighborhood Love founder, Else, he just wanted to start a website, Celebration. It's a kind of street culture that we know, and inviting others to participate. Having said that, if you want to participate, yeah, let us know.

My name is Joni. Thank you. You gonna hang out for a little bit? You wanna hear some more tunes? There's a new record by Hiatus Coyote, and I'm pretty, man, I'm a little bit proud of them. They put out a banger a couple of years ago. I've got some worldwide recognition for one tune in general, but the whole record is really good, but there's one tune that made it splash worldwide, and it made the usual rounds of remixes, and added vocals, stuff like that. So it's always, it seems to be very easy to find, to find the right chord to do with them, to find the right chord to do with them, to find the right chord to do with them, It seems like it would be a little bit scary to put out your sophomore record, you know, after getting some worldwide notoriety. But they rose to the challenge with this latest record called Choose Your Weapon. The tune I'm going to play for you is Molasses. I believe it's the first cut on the record. They're also playing this Saturday the 16th at the Greek with Little Dragon. And that's going to be an event. It's going to be a good show. I'm going to follow that up with Slacker the Beat Child. The tune is Byron's Groove. In parentheses, cut A-Rug. From the Soul Movement Volume 2 record out last year. Slacker the Beat Child. Also getting some notoriety. He's from Toronto. Producer, singer. Fashion plate. I'm going to follow that up with LA's own Adrian Young. I'm going to play for you Lovely Lady from his latest record, Something About April. Out on the Linear Labs label, which I believe is his label. Composer. Music. Adrien Young. I'm going to follow that up with a lute pack from Oxnard. Loop Digger will be the name of the tune you'll hear. Enjoy this. And thank you. prueba sur prueba prueba sur prueba prueba sur prueba I might not get yet, might not get any better.

Got a doo-wop vibe to it. Enjoy. Yeah, I really want to show you. Yes, I do, baby. Baby, why, why, why do we play these games? I always see you looking, baby, but I don't know your name. Baby, why, why, why won't you take a chance? Oh, you're the one that I so love, honey. And when tender romance, love by your words hits the sky. The romance will fall in your eyes. The beauty will mesmerize. Can't see it unless we try. I want to kiss you, because I never kissed your lips. And I want to love you, because I never felt, never felt like this, baby. Ooh. Hey there, lady. Lady. Lady. Lady. Can I get to know you? Lovely lady, lady, lady, lady, girl. Ooh. Ooh. I really want to show you. I might be dreaming. Oh, but it feels so real. Baby, baby, baby, girl. And I want to love you. And show you exactly. Exactly. Exactly how I feel, baby. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Just gotta, just gotta, just gotta know you, babe. Stop playing these silly games, baby. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, girl. Baby, baby, girl. What's up? One, two, three, four. I got a little bit right here. What's up? What's up? Blaze this for all y'all. By all means, necessary raw. No holds barred, spit and charred. 60 bars of water for who you sleeping on. MC's acting hard, nothing up to catch three balls. Start before you fall in the dark. Pause when I drop dogs. Landing multiples, no charge when beef starts. Mad ends up with a verse to snap your retard. You fall off because no heart. California mind state, I regulate. Rhyme penetrate right through your chest plate. Checkmate fate for your demo tape and yellow tape with one trace. Met the master race throughout the tri-state. On a daily base, they laced with a verse to rock the universe. The skirt blowing up and won't burst. There's lessons to be learned. When I'm on fire, you stay concerned. Because I'm eager to burn vitamins for the chips that they earn. That's my word. Drink, smoke, a pound of herb. Herb, it's word. My way to learn. 805 ways to get served with words. Finally here. Listen, I can get mass selection. Dang. Oh, my god. 1969 Axelrod. That look great. Steve Kuhn. You know, that got some Penderose on it. Oh, shit. I ain't seen that in my ears. Oh, shit. 1968. Good year. Good year. I'm fine. What about that bug out? Nah. Or that cone? Nah. Damn. Or that? I ain't wasting my money. Hey, can you hold my record? I'll be right back. My boy, it's the Swede. Hold it up. Shit. Man, they got mass in that. Man, it's cold as mad out here. True. What? Right there. Yeah. Fuck. Shit. Man. Shit. Two hits and pass. Two hits and pass, man. What the? Step back in this piece, man. I'll be back. Ever since I was young, digging in my pop stack. Sampling off cassettes, 33s, 45s, and 8 tracks. Where wax? A true loop digger's attraction. Always spend a fraction of my check on fat jams. Secondhand stores get rushed like area wars. You could always catch me digging at your local mall. I'm not a regular store. For the world, I'm buying vinyl until my final days. But what way pays? Various ways to connect. Fat loops with mics and check. Turn the SP on, they commence to dissect. True. True. True. Bust a vest and your rest is a fake. Fake. So how many of y'all know about crazy again? Not live. With them beats that be thorough. About to give it to you 24-7. Seven. Put it through the SP. Then stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. And stretch it. That was immediately followed by Adrian Young, Lovely Lady, from the Something About April record out a couple weeks back on the Linear Labs label. The last tune in the set, the one you just heard from Loot Pack, Oxnard. Loop Digger featuring Med. And Loot Pack is Mad Lib, Wildchild, DJ Roams. That's from the EP Loop Digger out last year on the Stones Throw record label. Which brings us right up to present time. Jenny. Board up, Jenny. What's up? Guess where this tune is from. Where? It's a contemporary number. Okay. From a band called Osaka Monorail. So named because they're from Osaka, Japan. Oh. They actually have a singer. Does the whole James Brown bit, the splits. Really? Interesting. Pretty cool. Outfits and all? No, well, they don't look the part. No, they're just dressed in suits and, you know. Look nice. Look nice and funky. Yeah. Be nice to see them come to LA sometime. That's a long trek, man. Yeah. Unless you got somebody paying for it, you know. Osaka Monorail. But dig it. Loved ones, take a picture of this. . Raining. Downtown LA. . Walking down the street. . Dodging pedestrians in puddles. . Circumventing the inevitable. . Folks with their hand out once in a while. You know, downtown. . . . . If you got a picture of that, then you got a picture of me about two hours back just walking through downtown LA, man. I love this city. . Fifth Street. . Hill. . . Grand Avenue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . It's the very first track on the very first album, eponymously titled Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes, LP 1972. So there are millions of people out there, and this is before, you know, previewing music online, iTunes and all that. You know, we're talking about 1972. So there are millions of people where this tune that you're going to hear, I Miss You, is the very first song that they've heard from Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes. I'm going to follow that up with Monophonics, Bay Area band, soon to be Bay Area legends. Yeah, they've been on the show before. And this is from their newest record, Sounds of Sinning. The tune's called Promises, and I hope you dig it. ¶¶ ¶¶ ¶¶ Oh, I miss you, miss you, miss you, miss you. I swear I do. Mm-hmm. Ever since you went away, I ain't been doing nothing but thinking, thinking, thinking, thinking. Put my head in my hand. You've been away from me so long. And I just don't think I can carry on.
