*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD SEPTEMBER 2011

Awwww yeaaah! Another hype one for ya! Definitely glad to bring to you another collection of randomly selected tunes for you guys. For the faithful, thank you. You make all this here worth it and lowkey fun. At a glance I’m noticing there’s a nice bit of Chicago on it. Can’t say I did that on purpose, guess I just have the crib on the brain. I hope you guys, don’t mind. Not that I care if you do or anything…I’m just saying. But yeah, hit the yadig for that thang. Yitidee!

*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD FEBRUARY 2011

Sigh…right…so I was sitting…making the comp…and I kept thinking…man…what would I want the.er…ideal…woman to sound like if I had to describe her musically….and this happened. I feel incredibly fluffy making this and I’ll more than likely overcompensate this feeling by making an outlandishly ignorant comp for March. Playlist and shit under the covers. Stop laughing at me.

*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD JANUARY 2011

Another year, another month, another Smorg. Was really missing the old underground radio station WHPK when I made this, so it ended up having one of those old lo-fi-radio-station-recorded-to-cassette feels to them. I dig it, and I hope that you good people do as well. Tracklist and DL link up under the blouse. Rite on.

I’m going to be honest with you kids, Christmas isn’t really one of my favorite holidays. Outside of the whole family aspect (and Jesus. GP are ya wit me!) I could really do without it. But unlike the cover art may suggest (props to the big homie NO for coming correct btw) this comp is not a Bah-Humbug-a-thon. It’s actually a dedication comp. For December 25, 2010 marks the fourth anniversary of the passing of one of the most influential figures in modern day music – and one of my absolute favorite artist across all genres – James Joseph Brown. Yes. Christmas ’06 was a very shitty day for me. I literally slept for the entire day upon hearing the news. It hurt deep knowing that I would never get to see Mr. Dynamite [a]live on stage. But fortunately for myself and for the world (cliche warning) James Brown’s legacy lives on through his music. Now please excuse me while I continue to defibrillate his legacy with this comp. Two discs and 46 tracks strong of associated acts, covers, samples, and The Godfather of Soul himself.

Tracklist and download up under the thang. Get on your good foot.

*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD OCTOBER 2010

This is probably the closest thing you’ll get to a holiday-themed comp from me. Cuz I don’t do dat shit. This is more like the playlist of a Halloween party that I’m DJing where everybody is tripping off spacecakes and shots of Jose Cuervo and we all wake up the next morning pantsless…. Or at least that’s how its plays out in my head. If you need proof hit the stargate for the tracklist and linkage. You’re welcome.

*PBBT!’S SMORGASBORD SEPTEMBER 2010

Oh yeah. That just happened. If you think there is any rhyme or reason to this month’s Smorg you’ve lost a little more than you’re marbles. BUT that’s what makes it awesome. This one kinda rides like those random mixtapes/mix cd’s you used to make with whatever song came on the radio/popped up in your head at the time. Fun to make and even more fun to listen to. Now go on down there below the jump and wretch around and wrench it off.

*Gucci Mane voice* Aw damn…this tracklist so cold man…Aw g man gotdamn…$ went in on this cover art

Seriously though guys and gals, this playlist is probably my favorite next to the “The Crib” joint I posted a while back. And that’s not because I put a track I produced on this one [/shameless plug]. I predict you will enjoy it thoroughly.
