FWYB's Holiday Break Continues...
Post a Comment
Happy Holidays everyone, I'm on the road with limited internet access in South Florida until next week. But don't worry we'll be back recharged & strong for the new year. Until then here's some things you might find interesting:
Say it Loud - Thanks, Props, & R.I.P. James Brown
James Brown's body to lie at NYC Apollo (AP)
from Yahoo! News: Music News
First off RIP to the "Godfather of Soul" James Brown, one of the most influential & important musicians of the last century. I caught him a few of years ago doing a show at Battery Park in NYC and it was one of my all-time favorite shows. I remember thinking "If he's this energetic now, just imagine when he was at full power during the 60's & 70's!". I'll post some pics from that day when I get back to NYC but here's some MP3's from Chromewaves (another excellent music blog):
MP3: James Brown - "Santa Claus, Go Straight To The Ghetto"
MP3: Belle & Sebastian - "Santa Claus, Go Straight To The Ghetto"

See if you can spot the James Brown samples. I always thought tracking down washed-up rappers would make for a good reality TV show. Hollywood, are you listening?
