"Why, don't you know? They're twitterpated..." © the Wise Old Owl from Bambi Ladies and Germs, I had one of those weeks. The kind of week where you watch tumbleweeds blow through your bank account, have plans fall through the slatted floorboards of your schedule and have folks flake on you harder than cereal... and yet... none of it mattered cause you got that bounce in your step. You know... the Barry White bounce. Humming "Can't Get Enough Of Your Love" like it's the first time it made sense. Food tastes [...]
1973 20th Century Records "I'm Gonna Love You Just a Little More, Baby" was written, produced and recorded by Barry White. He spent years writing, producing and arranging for others. He actually needed to be coaxed into recording this tune for himself. The rest is pretty much history - His unforgettable baritone pipes, deep squeeze monologues, and cinematic arrangements - are often emulated, but never duplicated. Barry will have his way with your honey- through song, and you'll be in the bleachers. If a song were a home-wrecker, this one is it. [...]
. Even when you know it's coming, when it does it is disturbing. Blogger deleted four posts of mine, The Originals Volumes 6, 7 and 8, and one from the dormant CD rated blog. Happily I backed up the Any Major Dude blog on Monday night after reading whiteray's post on Echoes In The Wind (I will repost the zapped Originals posts without links over the weekend). In my comment to whiteray's post, I
Among other reasons, that ubiquitous bro-sap Plain White T's track rings empty to me because were you to actually meet a girl named Delilah, you've got to make one of two assumptions: Best case scenario, this gal has some sarcastic- ass parents and is actually pretty normal, the way everyone raised by sarcastic parents grows up to be at least a little cool. In granting this benefit of the doubt though, you realize that any girl that down to earth isn't going to be impressed by this heart on your sleeve shit, unless you've had the good fortune [...]
If it weren't for the fact that they wrote some fine tunes themselves, the Afghan Whigs could have been a really good wedding band. Seriously. Throughout their career, the now defunct band released a ton of cover songs on b-sides and compilations, and all of them were mighty good. When I decided to do a post on the Whigs, I had planned on the usual mix of b-sides and things, but I guess I hadn't realized just how much of their rare catalog was covers. [...]

"The whole decor of the place, the furniture, the light switches, it was like something out of a James Bond movie." Dimitri From Paris , on playing at the Playboy Mansion There are tons of DJs out there, but Dimitri From Paris stands out as something unique. Born in Turkey, grew up in France (hence his stage name), Dimitri does an incredible job of spinning new cuts with tracks dug up from who-knows-where while keeping the flow as smooth as a baby's [...]
Wesley has apparently commissioned a private performance. It's been an interesting week, things are starting to wind down, the finish line is within sight. I just kicked some major butt on the New York State lifeguarding test, so that's swell. Lately I've been getting into some old school R & B, and 60's garage rock. This is a result of the influence it has had on some of my favorite bands like The Walkmen and Spoon. I've finally come to appreciate such masterful musicians as Al Greene, Sam Cooke, Lou Reed, The Kinks, The Animals, Marvin Gaye, and [...]

Kanye West's recent rant after losing at the VMAs may have made the rounds of viral video circles, but it was fairly tame in terms of the cream of the caught-on-tape celebrity tirade crop. Sure there was a bit of swearing, but nothing got thrown, nobody was fired, and nobody got called the N-word. Many of the following moments were captured on... Kanye West's recent rant after losing at the VMAs may have made the rounds of viral video circles, but it was [...]
Instead of blowing the dust off of my trusty old thesaurus to seek adjectives that might describe the phenomenon known as floodwatchmusic , I'm going to break this down into terms that even the elementary level soul children will understand... Flood is fuckin' brilliant. Whether he's creating an infectious mix of unforgettably dope tunes or using his razor-sharp mental skills to examine the intricate complexities of a particular track, this man comes about as correct as it gets. Be sure to explore the mind (and record collection) of this genius even further by paying a [...]

The Alchemist is a look at the story and break down of certain hits. This week we have a bonus for you - we will take a look at several songs, including the relationship between Led Zeppelin and Franz Ferdinand, and how it differs slightly from the Stones and the Verve. But first let's share the story of how SML got beatdown by Duck Down, and how Barry White's smoothness can help you build up your street credibility, white boy. Follow us, after the jump. (more...)
