Covered with Soul Vol. 9

Nov 16, 2011, 6:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Covered with Soul Vol. 9 I've said it before: no other series on this blog is as much fun to put together than the Covered With Soul compilations. And I've yet a few mixes in store. There are have been a couple of pretty radical reworkings of songs; Maxine Weldon 's interpretation of George Gershwin's I'll Build A Stairway To Paradise (best known, perhaps, as Georges Guetary's showstopper in the An American In Paris musical) is one of them. On the other hand, if the version of Spirit In The Sky by The Stovall Sisters has [...]

Covered with Soul Vol. 8

Sep 14, 2011, 7:12pm Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
Covered with Soul Vol. 8 This is Volume 8 of Covered With Soul , and there is no end in sight (unless a lack of comments suggests there should be). Check out the re-interpretation of Wichita Lineman, Be My Baby, Won't Get Fooled Again, Fever, Sunshine Superman and Rainy Day Women #12 & 35. Perhaps the most radically reworked cover here is David Porter's take on that old crooners' favourite All The Way. It's not how Sinatra sang it (he certainly had no harp in his version). But my favourite cover here might be Esther Phillips ' of Gilbert O'Sullivan Along [...]

Mary J. Blige featuring Diddy & Lil' Wayne "Someone To Love Me (Naked)"

Apr 30, 2011, 12:06am Mixtape Maestro
Someone To Love Me (Naked)
It's quite astounding how every time you're ready to count Diddy out as the non-musician he is, the man manages to cook up something that forces you to begrudgingly grant him some kudos. Latest case in point: Diddy-Dirty Money's Last Train To Paris , a long-pushed-back set that as printed pitch (Auto-Tuned warbling? Over-the-top cinematic concept? Why is that name so clunky?) sounded like a hot mess in the making, but in execution ending up emerging as this mind-blowingly amazing (and near-classic-leaning) full-length bringing a refreshing experimental energy to an increasingly [...]

In Memoriam – November/December 2010

Jan 5, 2011, 10:11am Any Major Dude With Half A Heart
The Grim Reaper took things easy in November – so much so that there was no pressing need for an update — but he could barely stop himself once he got into the swing of things in the fnal month of 2010 (and, alas, has not wasted time getting going in 2011). A couple of artists fell victim to violent crime: New Orleans rapper Magnolia $horty died in an apparent drive-by shooting (as for the lyrics of her song...oh my), and jazz rock drummer Billy Maddox was shot dead in a burglary in Oakland. Also desperately sad [...]

Kevin Casey's Sample Saturday – The Sweet Inspirations et Ghostface

Jul 10, 2010, 10:27pm Et Musique Pour Tous
Kevin Casey's Sample Saturday – The Sweet Inspirations et Ghostface As far as Wu-Tang solo albums go, I would have to say that Supreme Clientele is among the top 3. The beats are crazy throughout, and although RZA only produced 4 tracks, you can hear his overall influence as executive producer. His hand in the mixing helped the production from lesser known beat-makers achieve the certified Shaolin sound. Sonically it is a true Wu-Tang album, achieved through a solo project, as was the case with Only Built For Cuban Linx . Supreme Clientele was released in 2000, but clearly carried over the energy that was 902s New [...]

TsuruBride Presents... Tsongs For Tsuru: Volume II

Apr 24, 2009, 12:15pm T S U R U R A D I O
TsuruBride Presents... Tsongs For Tsuru: Volume II Photography by Us My friends, you are in for a special treat as we conclude our unofficial Mixtape week.... a very rare bird indeed, the elusive TsuruBride Mixtape!!! I know what you are thinking though, "Volume II? Tsuru, what happened to Volume I?" Well.... Let me explain. A little while back, late last year, my baby made me a mixtape of songs that reminded her of me called, obviously, Tsongs For Tsuru (clever, eh?). It was very special (it actually made me teary-eyed [...]

Either way, I've always wanted to do a post on foolishness to pay homage to the underappreciated art of gullibility. Aaron Neville was speakin' the truth
