Pure

Pure by Blue Six

This is one of my favorite songs on a music compilation I’ve had for years: Nude Dimensions Vol. 2, mixed by Mauricio Aviles. The Petalpusher remix of Pure used in this mix is from Miguel Migs. It encapsulated the San Francisco deep house sound [...]

Universal Laws Do Apply Whether We're Aware Or Not

I just heard Lillian Lopez, the lead singer of the disco-era group Odyssey passed away. I don’t think I need to mention the power of the influence of art forms like music. This song definitely encouraged my desire to live in Manhattan when I listened to it as a child.

Lighting Up The Darkness

Bob Marley had this idea. Kind of a virologist idea. He believed that you can cure racism and hate; literally cure it, by injecting music and love into people’s lives. When he was scheduled to perform at a peace rally, a gun man came to his house and shot him down. Two [...]

everything old was already so far in the future you'd have to go the past to be ahead of the curve

Hands down electronic-oriented music from the 80′s [especially] and 90′s still sounds as great today as it did more than 20 years ago. Here’s a sample.

Angels & Virgins

Did you know there’s an alternate version of “All I Want”? I found it on YouTube of course! I was editing drafts of future posts and began humming, ‘I am on a lonely road and I am traveling’… I wasn’t sure if it meant I wanted to publish a travel piece, something about [...]

Jennifer Hudson Where Is Your Moment In Time Song?

This is an open letter to Jennifer Hudson’s management, record label, press and a plea to the singer herself. It is time for you to have a massive commercial hit! Jennifer Hudson has been flying below the radar, above the radar and beside the radar for a few years now. I’ve watched her career and [...]

A Music Rant: Why Is Hip-Hop Being Remodeled As Euro-Trance Circa 1995?

I suppose this is more of an observation, than rant. It still signifies how far the music industry has fallen. Why does everything all of a sudden sound like Fragma Toca’s Miracle (which was a remix/mashup-combo of two songs in and of itself) and Faithless Insomnia (or We Come One) circa late 1990′s [...]
