Today is Fathers’ Day. Kick back with your friends, pour your favorite cocktail (a gin and juice, perhaps?) or mocktail, listen to some old school and not so old school hip-hop, play some corn hole, and, you know, barbecue. Or whatever works for you.

Ooh la la, it’s gonna be a good day!
The story of Danger Mouse’s mashup of Jay-Z and The Beatles is worth checking out. In short, Jay-Z thought it was cool, Paul and Ringo thought it was cool, but EMI didn’t, so you’ll have to find a copy somewhere like Discogs, a used record store, or a friend. If you can get your hands on one, do it right away! Truly, you will be a happier person if you listen to this super cool album: Jay-Z’s a cappella The Black Album on top of samples from The Beatles White Album.
Ladies and Gentlemen: The Grey Album.
Happy Fathers’ Day to all of you!
