The latest effort from Silver Spring-based duo, Dubble Trubble, in celebration of Zero to 180’s ninth birthday:
Inspired by Mark Cuban‘s recurring catch phrase on TV’s Shark Tank, could this be the world’s first sing-along instrumental?
Check out this 100-second version of “(For Those Reasons) I’m Out” that features drum work by Bob Mitchell (Ferns) and the mixing talents of Rick Mosher (Bachelors of Art).

The following week, Dave Grohl‘s Foo Fighters would commandeer Inner Ear for the purposes of making a documentary tribute film, aided in no small part by cinematography firm, Bryan Davis Ltd., who posted this teaser video snippet on their Facebook page along with this blurb:

For The Record
Final Recording Made at Inner Ear?
Split Decision:
Dubble Trubble track is the final Inner Ear recording (albeit, mixed elsewhere).
Debut LP by Hammered Hulls, however, is the final recording to be mixed at Inner Ear
(and last ever vinyl release to come out of Inner Ear’s South Oakland St. location)
Hammered Hulls at Washington, DC’s Black Cat

Zero to 180 Milestones: Years 0-8
- Inaugural Zero to 180 post that established a bona fide cross-cultural link between Cincinnati (via James Brown’s music recorded and distributed by King Records) and Kingston, Jamaica (i.e., Prince Buster’s rocksteady salute to Soul Brother Number One).
- 1st anniversary piece that featured an exclusive “Howard Dean” remix of a delightful Sesame Street song about anger management (with a special rant about how WordPress’s peculiarities made me homicidal the moment I launched this blog).
- 2nd anniversary piece that refused to acknowledge the milestone but instead celebrated the under-sung legacy of songwriter/session musician, Joe South – with a link to South’s first 45, a novelty tune that playfully laments Texas’s change in status as the nation’s largest state upon Alaska’s entry into the Union.
- 3rd anniversary piece that revealed the depths to which Zero to 180 will sink in order to foist his own amateur recordings onto an unsuspecting and trusting populace.
- 4th anniversary piece that formalized – as a public service – musical chord changes for an old (and tuneless) “hot potato” playground game called The Wonderball.
- 5th anniversary piece that paid tribute to the Buchanan & Goodman “break-in” records that helped fuel (along with Mad Magazine) this young music fanatic’s appetite for satire.
- 6th anniversary piece that dared to introduce contemporary music product — i.e., dub-inspired pop fusion — in direct violation of Zero to 180’s must-be-20-years-or-older policy.
- 7th anniversary piece that gave the previous year’s submission a good swift kick in the pants.
- 8th anniversary piece that celebrated the musical legacy of Washington’s one-time “favorite folk singer” and beloved drama chair at DC’s Duke Ellington School of the Arts, Donal Leace.
