Thanks B! It was a good time for me too. I have never really been asked about the process and all. I'm just glad I didn't fold under the pressure. >:)

Ha. "Main Vein." I can hear it a bit too. The other band has a much better singer though. LOL My cousin used to be a doorman...well, nah, let's call him what he was...a bouncer at Junior Kimbroughs Juke Joint in Holly Springs. I went there a coupl...

Words


General George S. Patton
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.

Albert Einstein
Great spirits have always found violent opposition from mediocrities. The latter cannot understand it when a man does not thoughtlessly submit to hereditary prejudices.

Susan B. Anthony
Those who are really in earnest must be willing to be anything or nothing in the world's estimation, and publicly and privately, in season and out, avow their sympathy with despised and persecuted ideas and their advocates, and bear the consequences.

The Talmud
“Join the company of Lions rather than assume the lead among Foxes.”

Retired General Eric K. Shinseki
Veterans Affairs Secretary for Obama Administration
“You must love those you lead before you can be an effective leader. You can certainly command without that sense of commitment, but you cannot lead without it. And without leadership, command is a hollow experience, a vacuum often filled with mistrust and arrogance.”

BATTERY-LESS REMOTE CONTROL? OH, THE POSSIBILIITIES…

Engadget posted news about a TV remote control device that gets its power from button pushes. This means your clicker will never require batteries. Ever. The device is slated for production in 2012.

Reading the post made me think for a bit. Wouldn’t it be crazy cool to have a home which

THE MUSIC THAT DESERVES MY MONEY

I looked at some recent album reviews I wrote and was reminded about what I like to see in songs or in albums I plan to buy.

It’s safe to say that more music exists in the world than there are people with the time and money to pursue those tunes. Music is not inexpensive and there are many examples of expensive mistakes that are waiting to be purchased.

Therefore, I developed a simple rule of thumb for buying music. I call it the “Long-Lasting Fla

SUNDAY BRUNCH PLAYLIST VOL. 39

I am a newcomer to the alluring harp of Dorothy Ashby. I heard Ashby’s Afro Harping album last year and was blown away when I learned that the album was released in 1968. The concept of music this good escaping my dragnet for so long made me wonder again what other treats I’ve been missing…

Listen to Main Vein by Prog Rock group Aorta. I hear parallels between this song and a certain Urb Alt band…

I never compiled a Sunday Brunch vol

WHAT THE SENATE HEALTH CARE BILL NEEDS TO DO THAT THE HOUSE VERSION FAILED TO DO

Allow ANYONE to choose the public option. More people with the freedom of choice will force down the premiums charged by all insurers. Only allowing the uninsured to choose the public option only supports the virtual monopoly also known as the status quo. Therefore, premiums will not go down.

As evidenced today, contr

Review: Leila Adu - "Dark Joan" - Frizz Records [2009]


Hel. Daughter of Loki. Queen of the Underworld. Under the headphones you can feel her seductively walking towards you.

Leila Adu’s ambitious solo album “Dark Joan” opens with “Helfire” an a cappella song showcasing the multi-octave artist bellowing like an angry town crier warning listeners away from a l… Continue

Art Terry - "Anutha Kind of Brutha" - Frizz Records [2009]

Forever changes, forever new, however strangely, forever blue.

That is kind of how I feel after listening to Art Terry’s “Anutha Kind of Brutha.” It’s an ironic travelogue of an album that extracts stories of dislocation, gigolos, psychics and b… Continue
