We are joined by Yellowbird Mantra's Eben Wares this week to discuss the Anarchist punk band ... Chumbawamba. Yes you read that correctly.

Most of us know the song from it's iconic appearance in Reservoir Dogs but Stealer's Wheel's Stuck in the Middle of You has a super interesting history as well as the band themselves.

Episode 35
We're joined by Philly Rapper and former front man for Roots In Stereo Khalil Slaughter to discuss the fire beat that is Rich Boy's Throw some D's. Unfortunately there's no much else to remember about this song (minus an awkward lyric about a picture on the wall).
