My Other Favorite Bruce
Every now and then, I find it imperative to spread the good word of Bruce Cockburn. So here’s a soothing, laid back ballad from the Good Man from Canada. Bruce Cockburn (pronounced Co-burn for the uninitiated): Live On My Mind
Imagine This
I just got done watching ‘Imagine: John Lennon’ on HBO. I saw it in the theater back when it came out in 1988, and hadn’t see it since. Really a powerful film since it’s basically entirely narrated by John with…
Lucinda’s Blues
Courtesy of Ms. Lucinda Williams, here is one of the most beautiful tunes I’ve heard in a while. Thank you Sirius Disorder. Lucinda Williams: Blue
Full Force Get Busy One Time
You mean to tell me I’ve never posted about 80’s R&B / funk masters Full Force? The genius of Bow Legged Lou, Paul Anthony, B-Fine and the rest of the fellas have never been discussed at length on the self-indulgent…

She’s Still a Thrill
Digging into the vault of hotties from my adolescence brings this funky, sensual tune from Jody Watley (I don’t post enough of the ladies). Jody started off as a Soul Train dancer in the 70’s. She would soon become a…
2 Live Crew – “What I Like” – Before Luke
As I slowly convert my old LP’s to digital format, I continue to unearth some gems from my younger days. I bought the 12″ single “What I Like” b/w “The Revelation” by the 2 Live Crew back in 1985. This…
