This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity of seeing out musician Eric Himan at the North Haldsted Market Days in Chicago. I became aware of Eric Himan’s music last year after listening to the Feast of Fools podcast. I purchased his new album Resonate earlier this year, and after one listen I was hooked! [...]

I’ve been very into Jason Mraz lately, not that I’m never not really into him though. However, the last few weeks this little tune called I’m Yours has been on regular rotation. It’s just a super cute song. Here’s a live version of it that definitely makes me feel good. The ending is way cute. [...]

I promised my friend Jason some Dr. Dre about 3 weeks ago. So I’m finally delivering. This gem from the early hip hop days can be seen as recounting some of the early drama between Eazy E and Dr. Dre and Snoop. Fuk Wit Dre Day was the 2nd track off of the 1992 release [...]

I’m not even sure where this one came from. I was humming the tune in my head yesterday and it was driving me nuts. Somehow I remembered it being about a dinosaur and searched youtube until I found it. This song is so bad, it’s good. You’re watching Walk The Dinosaur by Was (Not Was). [...]

If you don’t know who Damien Rice is, well then you should. He’s been one of my favorite singer/songwriters for years. I haven’t heard much out of him since his album 9 was released in February 2007. However, recently his website has been a bit more active and he’s appeared with a string of live [...]

I’ve been sort of obsessed with this song since last season’s So You Think You Can Dance. The song, Dancing was featured on the showand danced by Kameron and Lacy. The video above is a live performance of Elisa singing Dancinglive in Faenza, Italy. She kind of tears it up, and is quickly becoming one [...]

This song came on random the other day on my iTunes while I was cleaning. Everyone remembers Tennessee and Mr. Wendel from the group Arrested Development. Hopefully you remember this gem, People Everyday (1992). I turned it on this morning before work and definitely got my groove on. Happy Sunday!

When I saw this article I had trouble believing it was true. Yes you read it right, Labelle is getting back together and recording a reunion album, officially due out September 23, 2008. As you know, I’m crazy about Patti Labelle, so this is absolutely fantastic news. I’m cautiously optimistic, and hoping it doesn’t resemble the [...]

If anyone remembers this video, you’ll definitely win some points from me. I had originally planned to post something else (sorry Jason), but this song popped into my head while in the shower. It took me forever to remember the name of it, but I managed to find it. Today’s video is a song called [...]

Remember when Hip Hop was cool? It was a time when bands like Arrested Development, A Tribe Called Quest, and Digable planets were breaking through and blending different types of music with rap and soul. I listen to what Hip Hop has become and long for the days when it wasn’t driven by bling and [...]
