Gawker has a rundown of ABC's new shows premiering in the fall . The only one that remotely grabbed my attention was 'Last Resort.' Here's what they say about the show: "Synopsis: A nuclear sub is given is orders to fire upon Pakistan and, because those orders are shady in origin, the captain of the sub decides not to fire. Some nefarious part of the US government then orders an attack on our heroes who end up taking control of a small island nation and declaring themselves a new country. It is [...]
Looks like actress Mindy Kaling managed to jump the sinking ship of NBC's The Office at just the right time. And yes, we realize, that The Office has been a slowly sinking ship for a few years now. We watched an episode last week (first one in a few years) and couldn't help but marvel how the show had no semblance to reality. Anyway, Kaling's new sitcom on Fox looks promising. Anytime you can throw in a Michael Fassbender penis joke is okay with us. Have you seen Shame ? It shouldn't be [...]

We were scratching our heads at why Jay-Z performed at the Cartoon Network Adult Swim upfronts party at Roseland Ballroom last night — maybe he's a big Aqua Teen Hunger Force fan? — until we heard that the rapper/mogul has a development deal with the network. What could this mean? Are we getting a Lil Hova cartoon? Please?! Til we find out, jump below to catch Jay perform some of his hits, and bring Swizz Beatz on stage for "On To The Next One." "Intro" and "Thank You" [...]
Glee returned to New York City's Central Park last night— only this time it's for Fox's 2011 upfronts. On hand to represent the hit musical show at the networks fall lineup were Cory Monteith, Chord Overstreet — who, with their glasses and sharp suits, looked more like they were representing AMC's Mad Men — and Sting's co-pilot Matthew Morrison. Check out McKinley High School's studliest gentleman. Show of hands, who's prepared for the sob fest in tonight's "Funeral" episode ?
Bien que son quatrième album solo, Stone Rollin' (dans les bacs le 28 Mars) le voit exprimer une sensibilité définitivement plus Rock'n'Roll, Raphael Saadiq continue à représenter la Soul à l'ancienne, comme ici, dans ce duo avec la chanteuse et comédienne Jennifer Hudson . Sur la scène du Jazz at Lincoln Center de New York lors de la conférence de presse annuelle de la chaîne jeunesse Nickelodeon , la paire a revisité le célèbre "Ain't Nothing But A Real Thing" , immortalisé en 1968 par le mythique couple de la Motown, [...]
Huge NYC disco classic, released in 832 it still sounds as fresh as the day it was pressed. Silver Cloud Records released this slice of funk, the vocal is simply amazing and there's... DOWNLOAD/ STREAM http://www.feelmybicep.com

Tenemos el placer de recopilar, y el gusto de compartir, este pequeño fragmento de historia reciente que abarca de 1979 a 1983. Periodo clave en el devenir de la música electrónica, que poco a poco es incorporada a patrones funk, reggae, rock y pop desde distintas ciudades de norteamérica y europa. Los géneros han muerto hoy pero la música sigue siendo libre. AUTOMAT -Droid (1978) BENTON BAPTIST - Looking good (1982) [...]

They're all clustered together on this post because they're obviously made using the same recipe. Most of the production team is the same. Karen Diggs - Infatuation (1982) - and no, this is not an alternative version of Plastic Doll . Barbara Norris - Strategy (1983) Karen Diggs - Congratulations (1983) The last one is my favourite from the lot, and unquestionably the most well known - what a catchy hook, everything's in the name: Barbara Norris - [...]

RAMPAGE started DJing at the age of 11 back in 1995 progressing towards the point in 2004 when [...]

Infatuation came out on New York's small Silver Cloud Records in 1983. Look out for anything on Silver Cloud, its all boogie gold, and although the label and their number of releases were small they seemed to have enough distribution that their output will now run you between $7 and $70 for the rarer cuts. This is perhaps their best known release, alongside the highly sought after Heavy Hitter by Barbara Norris that came out on parent label United Performers, which has been turning up on trendy italo/electro disco bootleg comps over the past couple of years. Both [...]
