Daisies and Rap Stars

Happy Monday everyone! It's Random Act of Kindness Day, so get out out there and do something friendly! Just in case you need some inspiration, here's some positive vibes from the Daisy Age's famed A Tribe Called Quest.

For those of you who haven't heard of the Daisy Age, here's a quick history lesson: while Hip-Hop was being awesome and aggressive in the late 80s/early 90s, it was also being awesome and friendly. Bands like De La Soul and Pharcyde who rapped an overall more positive, fun loving message than their counterparts were dubbed as being part of "the Daisy Age". Oh yeah, and loads of them were really, really good.


Also don't let the fact that it's Monday stop you going out! Ezra Furman's in town for anyone who lives in the City of Dreams and what to here some good old fashioned rock and roll. Otherwise, you can always settle for second place and listen to him from the comfort of your home:
