Hidden Gem: ROB “Funky Rob Way”

Girth Radio Presents…

Documentaries ain’t known for their excellent soundtracks. When The Garden Was Eden an ESPN 30 for 30 is an outlier. Directed by Michael Rapaport who is quintessentially New York City much like Daptone Records this track was an ideal match for a documentary on the last championship the New York Knicks won. It remains to be been seen what Phil Jackson can do and who the Knicks will become.

Girth Radio Presents…

Chair Dancing!!

The video description is amazing: ” thick slices of pop drenched in heavy keyboard-gravy, seasoned with 80’s soul and that signature Röyksopp-sound; it’s disco baked beyond recognition.” Done like dinner…let’s do this thing!

RTZ: I miss rock n roll

RTZ: I miss rock n roll

Sammy Younan

Girth Radio Presents…

I miss rock n roll:

I miss music that keeps me up late at night and is the first thing I think about when I wake up.

I miss making mix tapes. Even when I’m not confident around you, with you…rock n roll can be strong for both of us.

I miss music that forces parents to demand it be turned down. Immediately.
