Dr. Robert Muñoz, Jr., Vagrom's guest social justice and cultural contributor, breaks down the ear-worm worthy mash-up fusing country line dancing and hip-hop. This BMG title comes via fair use here, thanks to said commentary.

VAGROM REPORTS Denver city council is expected to consider a measure to make it easier for people to add Tiny Houses to industrial spaces and other areas around the city without going through a lot of bureaucratic red tape.

FRESH INDY MUSIC This week's featured indy track is inspired by the 50th anniversary of an accomplishment suggesting that ending homelessness (or add your favorite major social or eco challenge here) is apparently harder than putting a pale-skinned primate on the moon.
