One of my readers went through a lot of trouble and tracked some previous mixes of mine.  I have had a lot of troubles with my desktop computer recently, and have been unable to burn cd’s on them, and obviously working from a laptop can be a pain.  Below are the links to the previous [...]

“It’s a dark and stormy night on “Rising Down,” the Roots’ 10th disc. There’s a sense of sonic dirt, political sharpness and clenched-teeth purpose that may be the result of label woes (the disc opens with a ‘94 phone screaming match between band members), or it may be just thanks to an ongoing, if kind [...]

“Matt Maher’s major-label debut is an impressive effort that marries his musicianship, evocative vocals and heartfelt songwriting into a compelling collection of songs. He opens with “Your Grace Is Enough,” a soaring worship anthem previously recorded by Chris Tomlin. “Look Like a Fool” is a high-spirited number about serving God with total abandon. On “As [...]

“Producer/keyboard wiz Jason Miles and DJ Logic are the chief conspirators on this innovative, genre-crunching project that also features Meshell Ndegeocello, Cyro Baptista, Vernon Reid, Christian Scott, Bernie Worrell and Karl Denson. There’s quite a sonic variety in these 11 tracks. Opener “A Jam 4 Joe” is emblematic of the album’s eclecticism. Miles and Logic [...]

Pretty good debut rock song.  7/10

Getting a lot of play on rock stations, and could be crossing over to mainstream song.  Big fan.  8/10

Very hard song, but i absolutly love it.  Sure to pump you up.  9/10

“While veteran multireeds player Bennie Maupin has enjoyed a rich history performing in bands led by Miles Davis and Herbie Hancock, he’s also a potent leader in his own right, as evidenced on “Early Reflections.” A passionate outing of rumination and whimsy in the company of an all-Polish trio, the album serves up melodic gems [...]

Rock must has changed quite a bit since these guys faded away.  They haven’t changed their style, but i’m sure people will appreciate this track.  Pretty good, and sure to get a decent amount of spins.  8/10

I personally like the remix much better than the original.  I half exect this to get more play than the original too.  8/10

Single number two off E=MC^2 is right on the horizion, be on the look out for this one soon.  7/10

Up and coming rapper with a unique style.  Decent tune.  7/10

“When the band first emerged in 2006 full of startlingly brief songs and an ace EP, it appeared a second act might have been tough for Tokyo Police Club. Luckily, the songs on “Elephant Shell” are a sensible progression from the Strokes-like hooks of earlier material, showing an increasing sophistication. As with before, the brilliance [...]

Very old school country, not bad, just not good.  4/10
