Did You Hear That?: Duffy “Rockferry”

Duffy Promo
Duffy’s sound is very nostalgic and retro. I’m not going to lie…she does
sound a bit like Amy Winehouse, but that isn’t such a bad thing. I mean
musicians bite off each others styles all the time, right?

Justice,Chromeo and DJ Mhendi:Myspace Music Tour: Review

Justice at WaMu Theater

Did You Read That: Rock On: An Office Power Ballad by Dan Kennedy

Rock On: Office Power Ballad

With Rock On Mr. Kennedy gives the reader an insiders peek to his rapid ascension to middle management during the downward spiral of the corporate music industry. This book humorously walks the halls with rock and roll icon’s and mangers mistaken for band members. Kennedy at the table of large board meetings, wonder if he has overplayed his hand and will be discovered as the fraud he perceives himself to be. He also desperately seeks the approval of a famous rapper in hopes of fitting in with his crew.

The book is full of familiar Artist ( none of which are painted in a too bad light) and Executive “Characters” who’s wants, needs, and request would seem ludicrous to a reasonable person has not spent the last 30 years getting paid 7 figure income and feeding off the ideas and essence of the “below the line people”.

If you have had a job, you will find humor in this book. If you have had a job in the music industry you will find this book hysterical. And if you actually know some of the characters in this book like I do, you will find new nicknames for your friends.

Congratulations to Stew and Cast and Crew for bringing one of the most original and relevant performances on broadway today.

*Morcheeba: “Dive Deep”* Review

Morcheeba
*Morcheeba: “Dive Deep”*

Morcheeba’s new release “Dive Deep” is an eclectic mix of soul, funk, rap,
jazz, and R&B. The female vocals in the band are outstanding. The lead track
“Enjoy the Ride”, sung by Judie Tzuke is very reminiscent of the sounds of
Sade. Her voice is truly sexy, soulful and captivating.

Controversy- A Tribute to Prince
This is how you know a song is great. Other artist cover your work and the songs still sounds great. Rapster Records has collected these covers in tribute to his Purple Highness.

New N.E.R.D Track “Everyone Nose”

I was wondering what happened to N.E.R.D. Yesterday I watched the Bangers and Cash L.O.O.S.E video. Which then lead me to N.E.R.D’s “Lapdance” ( because one begat the other) and I thought… These guys fall off or what? Well here is the new track but it sounds like they have some catching up to do.
