You Don't Haaaave To Go Hoooome.....


You Can Stay Right Here....
Put One In The Air....
While We Bending Corners In My Chrooome....

I will be the happiest man on earth next week. I move into my new place this weekend which means I can finally set my turntables back up and listen to/post more interesting music. And I get paid next week, which mean I can end the CD buying drought. Israel and New Breed came out with a new CD yesterday that I want to get. As well as Kirk Franklin's new CD. With my rent for the new place already paid, I'll have to restrain myself from an extreme music purchasing binge.

One CD I am eagerly awaiting is Big Boi from Outkast "Big Boi Presents Got Purp, Vol. 2"

So the song for the day is by Purple Ribbon all-star Killer Mike feat Big Boi "My Chrome"Produced by Outkast's Mr. DJ. From Killer Mike's upcoming (who knows when it will be released) album Ghetto Extraordinary. And check out the horns in the instrumental. Outkast be killing it with horns dude....

Killer Mike-My Chrome (Clean)

Killer Mike-My Chrome (Instrumental)

I'll do more cover songs when I get my turntable set up....I promise....

Oh Happy Day....


"Today is the greatest day I've ever known...".(c) Smashing Pumpkins

I found a website with nearly 2 Dozen Live Prince performances on disc, all downloadable....(No I'm not telling you what the site is).

I'm sooo happy I decided to come thru with a Prince song. (the cover song posts will continue later....possibly when I get back from North Carolina)

From the CD Crystal Ball "Days of Wild"



This one has some bad language kids....

"FREE THE SLAVE!!" (c) Prince

Saturday Love....

Continuing with cover songs, this next entry I wouldnt exactly called a cover song, as much as one song inspiring the other.

For the original song....we have "Saturday Love" by Cherrelle feat Alexander O'Neal. And from that song we get "A Love Joint Named Saturday" by Tanya Morgan. Tanya Morgan is not a singer. In fact its not even a female. Tanya Morgan is trio of emcee's from Cincinnati, Ohio and Brooklyn, New York. Sound confusing? Well just give it a listen....

I'll Stay....

I was contemplating what to post about, what direction to go in. I've gotten quite a few CD's over the past week, but nothing really standing out (except for the new Twista CD....good stuff, good stuff). So I decided to do a brief series on cover songs. And some of my favorites. Nothing big...just 3 or 4 entries.

So i'll start off with "I'll Stay". Originally done by Funkadelic (ain't nuthin like Funkadelic bwoy...) in 2003 Roy Hargrove released an album titled HardGroove under the name The RH Factor. This album featured artists such as Common, Erykah Badu, Anthony Hamilton and also D'Angelo...doing his rendition of this Funkadelic tune...I'll Stay. And its not bad if I must say so myself...

From Standing on The Verge of Getting It On.... "I'll Stay"

Its Changing Everything....

While I'm in the process of moving, my internet access....as well as my money are pretty much none existent at this point. So I haven't bought anything new...sorry. Got grown man stuff to take care of...however, the updates must continue!!

Earlier this year I was listening to XM Radio, and for some reason I ended up on BPM (the dance channel). I dont even know how or why I was listening to BPM, but I ended up hearing one of the most beautifully mesmorizing songs I've heard all year. It was a song called "Sweet Love" by an artist named Kaskade. I immediately went on a mission to find out more about this Kaskade person.

From Chicago, but now based out of San Fransico,DJ/Producer Ryan Raddon (or Kaskade) worked his way thru the ranks at OM Records, with dreams of eventually becoming an artist himself. When the people at the label recognized his talent, he got a deal of his own and got the opportunity to showcase it with an album of his own. His debut album It's You, It's Me was released in March of 2003. The album which I purchased In The Moment was released in May 2004, and since I've bought it he has released a new project House of OM, which i plan to get if I can get my finances in order....

So from the release In The Moment

Work


I spend more time at work writing in his thing than I do actually working. Our computers are acting real stupid today, so I need something else to do.

The "Last 5 Albums Purchased" part of my music journal hasnt changed in a minute and that is for 2 reasons. #1 cuz I'm broke and #2, cuz I keep getting lots of free stuff. Some of the albums I've gotten in the past few weeks.

Anthony Hamiltion-Soulife
Trey Songz- I Gotta Make It
Ebony Eyes-7 Day Cycle
Charlie Wilson- Charlie, Last Name Wilson (I REFUSE to listen to this garbage)
CzarNok-That One Way
Blackalicious- The Craft
DangerDoom-The Mouse and The Mask
Al Green- Everything's OK

and about 20 new singles. some Floetry stuff, new Santana song, Rhymefest wit Kanye West.

not exactly classic material....but yeah

Not saying all this to brag. Its a bittersweet feeling when you have more CD than you can possibly listen to, which is now the case with the stacks of records and CD's on my desk.

I saw a Dwele performance yesterday. Nothing special. Just a little 30 minute performance the they plan to air. His new album dropped yesterday. What i've heard of it is pretty nice. Nothing mind blowing, but its consistent. I do however plan on buying (with my own money) Fionna Apple's new CD, Extrodinary Machine



Right now I'm listening to Nelly Furtado's first album (which someone gave me as well, just last week)

yuh....

Sweetest Taboo

I'm in the process of relocating, so my internet access is real shady right now. Nevertheless, I will continue with the final entry in my female artist appreciation series. I've already admitted to a perhaps unhealthy obsession with Mary Mary. However, my feelings for Helen Sade Adu go past that. I have a huge poster of Sade in my living room that is over 5 feet tall (taller than most children). I had to order this poster from the United Kingdom.



I know... i know... its nice. But this isnt about my love affair with Sade. Its about her being the greatest female artist in the history of recorded music (I see you Aretha...)

No really. While her being the greatest in history is debatable, there is no doubt that she is one of the most popular and revered artists of our time....on a global stage, not just the United States. She remains a mystery in large part due to the fact that she doesnt release tons of material, and stays out of the spotlight when she doesnt have album out. But all of her material is absolutely top notch. Including Love Deluxe which is my favorite album of all time.

Her music is fairly well knows, so there isnt much that I can post that hasnt been heard already. But I will include a live version of "No Ordinary Love" that was included on the special limited edition version of Lovers Rock.
