G.H. Hat – Sukiyaki

G.H. Hat – Sukiyaki – EP Review “Lodi Dodi, we likes to party, we don’t cause trouble, we don’t bother nobody…” If there’s one thing beyond the actual listening to new music that I love, it’s when the experience leads to me learning something.  The history of music is so expansive at this point, that […]Read More
