Lioness: Hidden Treasures

Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow? (2011)

Amy Winehouse - You Sent Me Flying (Live) acoustic

In GBA 29 we get better acquainted with Matt. Recorded in a snatched moment at (future GBA guest) Richard's wedding, Matt talks about being an evangelical Christian, love, homophobia in religions, the Bible as literature, spirituality and the nature of performance. We come at the conversation from different sides and we meet somewhere in the middle.

Matt doesn't really plug anything, but the conversation is generally a plug for Christianity and specifically about having a relationship with God.

Official Remix for Smallpools via Sony

Quickie from us: "So its really great when coincidences and fate find each other, because that is what happened… We absolutely were in love with this summer anthem by smallpools, it reeked of fresh cut grass and the afternoon sun... So when their ppl reached out to us about doing a remix it was the easiest decision ever. We can't say it wasn't a challenge though with such a strong vocal, but we really wanted to pin it up against the classic 'house music pluck' we have been hearing so much of, but use it in a vain that felt a bit different but still large, but finding that union was tough in the sense the two had to warm up to each other rather than clash... but in the end we think we found this great atmosphere for the song to exist."

Quickie from our favorite NYC club promoter  "Guys, how come you make such good music, but always come to the club with dudes..." (*who brings sand to the beach, duh)

FUN FACT(s):
1) Cronuts (croissant donuts) are now being sold in NYC at a bakery for $100/each
2) A delivery service can have them brought to you, 20 cronuts for 5,000 to avoid the 5 hour line
3) This is the dumbest thing EVER, who cant put frosting on a croissant and call it a day... 
4) Drew and I know the Umbrella routine from Magic Mike 
5) If you are a dude and watch magic mike, you can see olivia munns breast in the first minute of the movie, and its all down hill from there...
