“What I’m searching for
to tell it straight, I’m trying to build a wall
Walking by myself”

… WOW ! love the introspection of an artist’s MIND !

Brooklyn-via-Philly Stereofave Santogold rocks Happy Retro Musak !
New Year for Rolling Stone “Artist to Watch” Santogold
(née Santi White), who just returned from a British tour
She grew up in Philly but now lives in Bed Stuy

Retro video with some Robert Palmer-approved video chick-props on a horse named “Prince” lol. Directed by “Rick Rubin” maestro Jesse Engaard

“I can say I hope it will be worth what I give up
If I could stand up mean for the things that I believe ”

… I meditate on this thought basking with the sun on my face

“Change, change, change,
I want to get up out of my skin
tell you what
if I can shake it
I’m ‘a make this
something worth dreaming of ”

keeps me hoping …

long live the dreamers …

“The Entourage theme song”

After scouring the internet for an answer, I have finally found it. The theme song from HBO’s popular TV series Entourage, is entitled “Superhero” by the band Jane’s Addicition. It’s from the album Strays.

Congrats to the RollingStones …

The original artwork
(done by a college student at the time)
sold today for over $92,000 !!!

according to Courtney Love bashing, on Trent Reznor


NIN was opposite who first created a logo then created a band,

The Rolling Stones logo was one of the FIRST bands to ever cultivate a Brand for their Band… so to me even though I may like NIN music alot more than rolling stones music, I have to give The Rolling Stones “props”  for best cultural icon  and most effective Band logo and certainly one of the first in Branding…

They played Empire, JetCity Woman, and some from PromisedLand on piano!

MP3MyMP3

Saturday, December 29th, 2007

Some people use this technique to get music and so forth without downloading the file thus advoiding the RIAA.

Heres how to RIP audio from your computer…

simply download the FREE MP3MyMP3 ware…

to record any audio at all going through your sound card this technique is simply recording what is played on your card.

Candlebox

Friday, December 21st, 2007

Wore out three copies of this on cassette when it came out!

Greatest original sound at the time.
Every song on the album is as good as the next.

One of the greatest rock albums of all time!

Such talent. If the lead singer, Kevin Martin wasn’t such a dick, the band could have done amazing things. I understand Candlebox will be recording a new album this month (December 2007)

Music is the ultimate common language between us all.
Harmony, represents an essential universal goal that is challenged by racial, religious and cultural prejudices.

A Mighty Heart

Sunday, November 4th, 2007

Music is most powerful when it reaches out and grabs the heart. It is wild how music from the band just yesterday I discovered for myself was also used in this touching movie that I watched tonight.
Nouvelle Vague also recorded “In a manner of speaking” which was a touching piece used in “A Mighty Heart” directed by Michael Winterbottom.

My wife’s and my hearts go out to Mariane and Adam Pearl — wife and son to Daniel Pearl the Wall Street Journal Reporter who was murdered by Terrorist extremists in Karachi, Pakistan. We all can learn more from the Daniel Pearl Foundation which promotes cross-cultural understanding through journalism and music.
