I spent way too much this week on music!!!

Doing my daily job, visiting record stores in the Mid Atlantic region, (i got the best job ever!!) a few of my friendly neighborhood music retailers put me up on good music. I got Erykah, Lizz Wright, Algebra, and Pete Rock. Now add…

Myspace put me up on Afta-1. The only beats I play on my radio show are from J-Dilla, The Control Freaks, Nasty Nails, and Afta-1. The cd Aftathoughts vol. 1, is that next sh!t in production. His beats are fire, so go cop that!

Afta-1 – Candy Box snippet

 

 John @ CD Warehouse told me about Tweek. Vocalist of the Rurals, this solo joint is so soulful. I found it as an import, that was well worth the money spent.

Tweek – We Can Make It

 Thanks to all who came out to listen to the new Erykah Badu cd at Bohemian Caverns. More listening events soon come. After the New Amerykah event, I was able to sneak my way into the 9:30 Club to see a sold out crowd sing every Chrisette Michele song. She always has a big crowd in DC. Next I went to Laced to see one of my hero’s, Soul Brother #1 Pete Rock tear up the wheels of steel at the Cue Bar. Last night was a great night for the Washington DC music scene!!! Pictures above are from the Erykah Badu listening event. We will be playing the new Erykah Badu cd again on Soul Conversations tonight. WPFW 89.3 FM Washington DC 12:30 am – 3:00 am (est)

Wed. Throwback Video Jamiroquai Live

I remember watching VH1 one night, and Captain Kirk, called Jamiroquai a one hit wonder. After I threw my Timberland at the tv, I remember selling about 10 copies of “Emergency On Planet Earth” that next day based on in store play. Captain Kirk, you suck!!! If you don’t have at least 4 Jamiroquai cds, you are missing out!!!
