New music, old music, everything from electronica to hip hop to bluegrass. The Beat Box will simply be a blog-avenue for music exposure that bypasses commercial media and gets us all listening to something new. With a short review on the musicians, the aesthetic quality of their songs, and why they captivate us, this is your brain, your life, and your weekend on music.

Imma get up and do my thang...
The bar- Cantab Lounge. The band- The Chicken Slacks. The day- Thursday. The night- Funky. The mood-Elated. The evening- oohhhhhh sssoooo grroovvyyyy.
What could be better on a Thursday night than a trumpet, a sax, vocals, electric guitar, tambourines, cow bells, bassists, pianists, drummers, magicians, balloon makers (?), and a bar full of noticeably attractive people wearing plaid, jiving in unison, and sipping on cold Octoberfests? That's right. Nothing is better. Which is why everyone should go to Cantab Lounge on Thursday nights. The band, The Chicken Slacks, were far from slackers. Not only did they jam until 2am, but also Jeremy (sax player) could be seen smiling while billowing into his horn and lead singer, (didn't catch his name), took us so far around the musical map that our thighs were sore upon our exit. If you ask me, nights like funk night at Cantab are what life is about, something we can't forget about, nights that improve our musical clout, and get us shuffling our feet for next week, to prevent ever again falling into any kind of Funk drought. And by the way, get there early... I'm talking 830pm early.
Enjoy!!!! And have a funky weekend.

Another chill one with a great BB King loop through. Suggested by my boss, who, needless to say, is the man.

I like to travel, I like you. I like the morning, I like you. I like to sleep, I like you. I like the ocean, I like you. I like to eat, I like you. I like the rain, I like you. I like the mountains, I like you. I like the night.
