Old School Friday – Can’t Get Enough of Barry

No this isn’t about the Prez! It’s Barry White Week! WooT!!!

Who doesn’t love Barry White. His dulcet tones wrapped themselves around some of the most lovely lyrics about LOVE. He even had an orchestra called Love Orchestra. This was a man who left his criminal past behind him, changed his mindset, tapped into his [...]

Old School Friday – OSF Tribute

Oh I really like this week’s meme! It’s TRIBUTE WEEK!!! WooT!

I want to include so many music artists but this would be the LONGEST post ever.

The premiere song restylist of our (ok my mom’s) generation. Nobody can touch Aretha Franklin.

My favorite gypsy rock-r-lady who writes songs that tear your insides out – [...]

Old School Friday: Criminals-R-Us

Okay these memes are definitely food for thought. This week is “Criminal Records”

Boogie Down Productions was the first song that came to mind. I’m surprised as well but I’m going with it. The latest MTV flap over 19 year old Taylor Swift made me think of another 19 year old’s MTV-related outburst (it was [...]

Old School Friday: All Money All The Time

Ok it’s Friday. I have another post that I will share but it’s still baking in the blogging oven and since the day’s nearly half gone for my East Coast readers I can’t leave ya’ll hanging without a fresh cookie. This week’s meme is “All About the Benjamins”. Now you didn’t think I was gonna [...]

Old School Friday: Sometimes All We Need Is A Cuddle

Cuddling is a very intimate act. Parents comfort their children. A friend offers a hug and a kind word of encouragement. Two people can use cuddling to be close without crossing physical boundaries. Some hug their pets in this manner as well. I think it’s safe to say it’s a wonderful gesture [...]

Old School Friday – You’d Never Guess It, But…

This week’s meme is “I Bet You Didn’t Know I Liked”. I missed a few weeks there but didn’t want to let too much time elapse. I liked all of the Duran Duran side projects even if some of them seem a bit questionable now. Arcadia -they were very esoteric and worked with Grace Jones! [...]

Old School Friday: First Date Or Love Songs – Fond Memories Or Cringeworthy?

Sorry I missed last week. This week’s meme is bound to take people back down memory lane. So I hope the thoughts are benign or funny!

I’ve been wanting a reason to post this video so this is perfect.

Broken Wings by Mr. Mister is a beautiful song. Take these broken wings/And learn to fly [...]

Old School Friday: Attack of the Divas

Ooh I like this week’s meme. Divas. Can I be one when I grow up?

Old School Friday: Wedding Songs – Nostalgia For A Time That Has Passed

I know this meme is shared amidst numerous black bloggers so we can stroll down memory lane. I’m sure the meme creators hadn’t thought about this at the time but with such a high out of wedlock birth and unmarried rate amongst black women, having a wedding song will become a thing of the past. [...]

Old School Friday – danCe DAnCE Danze

Hey ya’ll! This week’s meme is Dance For Me. From watching your toddler move to asking your partner for a ahem, private performance I suppose we can explore all the angles.
