It's
amazing to me that when tracks pop in my head how I'm going to mesh
them together. Sometimes it worries me that it doesn't sound "too far"
out there but then it passes but I have to remind myself that to me it
has always been "music" to me no matter what genre it may be from and
in the process this is how podcast like this come about and I hope I
never forget that concept.
Growing up whatever I heard I liked I
tried to get it whether buying the LPs, the 45s, the cassettes or
taping the tracks off the radio (that was when radio stations were
worth listening to) and made my own mixtape with a mixture of r&b,
pop. Now years later I am blessed to be able to share my taste in music
with so many people and it is so cool. 
Big shout out goes to gcgal(her Plurk site and her Vox site) from Australia over at plurk, she began listening to my podcasts and she said she has been enjoying them and my geek brother Luis
who told me he has been playing my podcast while in training so when
hearing that it encourage me to put together another podcast. These
artists I don't think you would ever find on one CD but thanks to the
wonderful world of technology I can put them all under one umbrella. I
have 2 tracks from Donald Fagen's
"Morph the Cat". I have to admit I have had this LP but never took time
out to sit down and listen to the tracks and to be honest shame on me.
His other LPs get heavy rotation on my iPod (The Nightfly and Kamakiriad). I'm thinking in the future to do a spotlight podcast on Donald Fagen from his 3 solo LPs. I have 3 tracks from Stacy Lattisaw in this music set because the recent Old School Wednesday from ejflavors
triggered a my schoolboy crush on her again. Yes I know that was over
20 years ago but let me enjoy my fantasy via 1984 okay? Thank you. 
I hope you get a chance to kick back and relax for the next hour or so to this compositions.

I
didn't expect this podcast to be this long. It's only 13 tracks but I
think it's the length of some of the songs(it's all good). Well, this
week I begin school and I'm looking forward to this class. This podcast
will be my last for a minute because I really wish to concentrate on my
studies. Last week podcast tunes were from iodapromonet...this
podcast will showcase music from some of my favorite artists that when
I began listening to smooth jazz these artists(most are jazz and some
in this line up you would consider pop, rock) not help my knowledge of
music but the musicians and sometimes when I was having a rough day
kickin' back and listening to these tracks gave me that "second wind"
get going again.
Big congrats goes out to Fave and the crew over at Soulbounce for getting to the finals to be chosen for the "best music podcast" and "best music blog" for this years Black Weblog Awards. You can still vote, deadline is August 31st so don't delay.
Big shout out to new listener and musician Tom Cawley and his trio group Curios out of London(welcome dude). He sent me a track to showcase and I am more than happy to do this. The track "Truce" is nice piano/bass/drum composition that is cool to chill out on a beautiful Autumn day or any day of your choosing(as you can see I can not wait till Fall comes).
A great jazz podcast "must have" is from our own tgrundy's "Smooth Jazz - Najee, Earl Klugh & George Howard…"
Many people who have followed me from when I first hit the scene on Vox I have been a lover of technology and how I always talked about Leo Laporte and his podcast. I have to be honest for a while I kind of fell off the wagon when it came to covering tech and as me and Steve were chatting that TWiT to us had become kinda "stale" but the episodes #157/#156/#154/#153 has made me get hooked on ThisWeek(in)Tech. With the crew of Dvorak, Harris, Norton, Rose and with guest like Don Reisinger, Robert Heron has for me made me listen again.
I can not say enough about this young lady when it comes to her podcast. I wrote a post on Nikki and all I can say about her Soulrific podcast is WOW! Check out my post and check out her podcast...you will not be disappointed.
Hope these tracks truly relax you make you take some "me" time.
Enjoy

what's going good people! 
Welcome to another MyLoveForMusic:Twilight. I hope everyone is doing well and I hope the work week has been good to you. Next week I will begin class and this time I will truly have my nose to the grindstone so I don't know when I will be able to bring you another podcast so I hope you enjoy this selection I put together for you.
For me finding quality music has never been an issue with me because for me since I listen mostly to instrumental music, whether jazz, new age, ambient this music has always transcended me to another time and place. This selection could have been put in the MyLoveForMusic category but as I sit hear the playback I put it in the right place.[more]
Welcome back everyone, I hope your work week went well and I hope your weekend will belong to you. Two things I have told myself, (1) Take life for what it's worth and (2) not to do any more podcast with 17-18 tracks...I can't handle that when it comes to the show notes. But besides that everything is great. This podcast will have a positive hip-hop track(that was inspired by Macedonia's BSOTS episode #69[the track was "love, hugs and hip-hop"by carlos nino & lil' sci]). With that said I want to keep the positive vibe going with my podcast.

These podcasts I find myself coming back time and time again, laid back, relaxing podcast. I guess this past week has been long one and I was hoping to publish this podcast last week but time got away from me. This podcast was a little long for me as well (close to 90 minutes). I'm going to get back to having just an hour a little over.>>>[more]
I have been away for a little over a month but it seems like a lifetime. The month of June was a trying time for me but a very humbling time...a time for reflection, a time for getting my act together in reference to my priorities and I thank God for his mercy, his grace, my beautiful wife and big shout out to my brother Doug Fresh for his encouraging words. It's good to be able to put together these music selection for it gets me back to my roots when it comes to my podcast. I hope you enjoy the tracks I bring you.

This podcast is all over the place (in my eyes) but it's a good thing. Couple of the tracks are kind of on the world music side but it's all good. A couple tracks you may have heard from my earlier ThriftStoreGems podcast but I'm sure you will not mind as long as the tunes are nice.>>>more
I have been sitting on this music for a while and now I have a chance to bring you these ThriftStoreGems. Two cassettes I have never listened to until I converted them. The cassette LPs I converted were Michael Kamen's "Concerto for Saxophone"; Shadowfax's "Esperanto"; Windham Hill Artists' "A Winter's Solstice 2">>>more
I don't know why but for some reason songs from Steely Dan and Donald Fagen has been on my mind for a while. I have wanted to do a Steely Dan/Donald Fagen podcast but the Godfather of podcasting had already created some really cool podcast but my mind would not let me drop it so here it is.>>>more
what's going on everyone
I have to admit, for some reason this podcast was actually fun putting together. Maybe it's because I think I have found my niche in reference to recording my podcast, maybe it's because I'm bringing this to you bi-weekly instead of every week. I don't know but I think this is a pretty good collection of music for this show.>>>more

I
see I'm finding myself floating toward laid back tunes more and more.
Well that's a lie, I have always enjoyed laid back tunes. I smooth
jazz, downtempo cuts takes me back to when I first moved back over here
in Missouri, where I finally could be myself, rediscover me and what I
loved about me.
This is my second set of collections of smooth
jazz, laid back vocals, new age tunes that whenever I hear them I just
want to just sit back, reflect and just me. I hope you enjoy the

What's
going on people? Seems like I have been away for about 2 months but
it's only been 2 weeks. I had my last class for the spring and now it's
time for me to just relax (just for a minute at least). It's amazing
how sometimes you lose your way in reference to who you are, and why do
one begin projects in the first place.
This past week I have begun listening to my past podcast shows to see how I have improved, what can I do better, what to change, what to leave alone and I have come to the conclusion that the reason why I began this music internet show was to share my different taste in music. It's funny how growing up I knew sometime down the road I would be able to share the music I enjoyed in the order I wanted, I didn't know how this was going to happen but I knew this is what I wanted to do. My very first podcast really reflected that but by the time I recorded "MyLoveForMusic: 19 April episode" I think I allowed myself to slip on that recording but I think when I recorded "MyLoveForMusicExtra:Twilight" I redeemed myself.
This episode is just me "relaxing" and getting my feel again in this wonderful world of podcasting. I have to give a big shout out to Fave, Macedonia, Doug Fresh for making me realize that the best way to put out great shows is to sometimes review your work, don't take yourself too serious, and most important, always, ALWAYS be true to yourself.
