His newest,  Mars Classroom - The New Theory of Everything has been on constant rotation on our turntable since it arrived last week.

MP3 At 3PM: Mars Classroom

The first two tracks, "New Theory" and "Man! Wine! Power!" are a couple of real tasty pop treats. The final tune, "Wish You Were Young" is the perfect wrap up. More nuggets throughout. Available on red vinyl. Get it now. Do it.
