This
is a podcast that should have been recorded in October but little
things got in the way like, school, work, marriage...you know, life. I
finally buckled down and push this podcast out because I opened my big
mouth and said I was doing a 2 hour podcast which I will not ever do
again. I enjoyed recorded the podcast but when it comes to show notes,
that's a different story. I was blessed because this can still be
burned to a CD.
I made one mistake. I said "December" instead of "November" so forgive me for that mishap. A lot of great music so sit back, relax and enjoy.

What
has not been said about this historic event. For me being Black, being
a man lets me know that our country is showing that we can come
together when we really need to and to allow a person of color to steer
this ship called the United States. Many thanx for all my fellow
podcasters who produced some of the best podcasts
in reference to this glorious moment and a big, BIG thanx to all of the
young voters who proved the pundits wrong that yes you do care what's
going on in your future and others around you. Young Americans are not
slackers, they strivers like the generation that came before them.
Enjoy.

With
so much that has went on these past 24 months a chapter has finally
finished in this book with another chapter beginning very soon...Barack
Obama was been elected President of the United States. This for many
people, especially Black men gives us that extra boost to allow us to
dream a little bit more, hope much further, to put in our mind, heart,
and spirit that yes, if we do truly work harder, keep our eyes on the
prize we can truly achieve. So many wonder podcast has hit the web
(from TGrundy, EJ Flavors, DJ Diva, Macedonia, Fave, Doug Fresh) that
summed up the spirit on how many people were feeling...Black, White,
Hispanic, Asian, people of Middle East decent, young, old. This indeed
is a very wonderful time given the past 8 years we have had to endure.
With my podcast is a time for rest...not a long rest...just rest for about an hour or so because we know it's a very steep, uphill battle for President-elect Obama. He truly needs our prayers because his every move will be under a microscope. Big shout outs go to my fellow podcasters, my twitter/plurk/Vox community. The collection of music is to try and unwind you for a little spell. I will have links to other podcasts that is a must have for your mp3 player or burn to a cd.
Enjoy.

At
o4:35am I decided to tackle this podcast and I'm glad I did. For me
most time before the sun comes up my mind is clear, ideas flow through
my little brain and a podcast is born. This podcast was inspired by the
track "Daykeeper" by Foreign Exchange and I think I have a crush on Muhsinah
(yeah, I know...my crushes changes like the weather) but this beautiful
young lady has a very haunting/angelic voice on this track it puts in
mind of waking up with the one you love. You have search high and low
for this special someone but at the same time you never really open up
your heart to anyone until now. When I heard this track on Macedonia's podcast I had to include it in a Twilight podcast (I found out later that Anewlis
had this song in her podcast as well, man I so behind at time when it
comes to music). Big, BIG thanx to the genius Todd Kelley for hooking
me up to the not only the vocal tracks to "Leave It All Behind" but the
instrumental tracks are included so good looking out bro. ^_^
Shadowfax I remember first hearing "Road To Hanna" on the 1998 Windham Sampler and was hooked on them ever since. Although the founder Chuck Greenburg has passed away I am amazed how this group was before it's time and that is when Windham Hill truly loved the music they produced and when the founder Will Ackerman had his hand in mostly all of the LPs that came from Windham Hill Record and it was not a bad thing. When Windham Hill Records grew into a juggernaut he sold his stake in the company and headed back to Vermont and to his roots and I believe he is much happier now. "Shaman Song" has that mixture of World/Acoustic/Electric feel to it. I love how each of these elements blend into one beautiful song
"Get Here" is a song that is both beautiful and yet sad at the same time. Oleta Adams voice and her piano playing makes you truly feel true love and true love lost whenever notes comes from her beautiful voice. What else sticks out to me is the fretless bass that is playing in the background. To me it brings out the true expression of this composition.
Kim Water's "Secret Romance" has the out on a Sunday Stroll kind of feel. I play the heck out of his "Someone To Love" LP and now I need to begin checking out this LP. You so many talented saxophone players out here and time and time again Mr. Waters comes out with a LP that makes seat back and say, "dang dude, you did it again."
I first showcased this track doing my podcast dedicated to my lovely queen and every now and then I have to pull this out and throw it in the line up. "If I Knew" by Jimmy Sommers has that smooth/laid back/silky feel to it. You have no choice but to keep your feet and nod your head.
The cool thing about Nicolay is whether if he has vocals over his mixes are just instrumental you play them again, again, again. Maybe it's just me happy that Fall is here but I it has that "brisk" feel to it. "All or Nothing/Coming Home to You" just has that air of everything is going to be alright no matter what the circumstance vibe. I have to get my hands on as much of his work as I can because I have a feeling this will not be the last time I will showcase his music on my podcast.
From the opening thick, rich bass line from Walter Becker on the track "Snowbound" for the song can go no where but "up". I think this was the very first cd I bought when I finally purchased a 3-CD player from Best Buy. Every song from the "Kamakiriad" LP takes you on the journey with Donald Fagen as he takes his travels in his Kamakiriad and on every stop you don't mind chilling with him. I love this track because it makes you slow down and just "be" and in this world of ours today we need that and the horn arrangements lets me truly realize how much of a great songwriter Mr. Fagen is time and time again.
The more I hear this piano solo composition by Liz Story the more I fall in love with it. Tracks like this make me seat and self reflect whether if it's good times or bad times it make me sit and reflect on what I need to do when it comes to certain issues in my life. "Church of Trees" for me is a song that makes you take long walks and have one-on-one conversations with God and take hold of all of the blessings I have in my life. I may not be rich but I am rich when it comes to the major things in my life...a healthy relationship, employment, being about to pay my bills, and of course to bring you these podcasts. ^_^
I still have this complilation LP on cassette. I think in the late 80's and early 90's I began to find my feel on what music I truly enjoy and when I stumbled upon "Narada Collections Vol. 2" I was hooked and this track from Colin Chin was one of the composition that sealed the deal for me. I loved smooth jazz/new age music and that was that. No longer did I feel ashamed and out of place. "The Alluvial Plains" is a very relaxing, beautiful arrangement and with the help of Mark Isham really gives it that calm/mellow feel to it.
You have heard me say time and time again that Prefab Sprout did not get the respect they richly deserved here in the states. To me, Paddy McAloon is one of the best songwriters around. The only hit they had stateside was "When Love Breaks Down" but the entire "Two Wheels Good" is very intelligently written and the composition are masterly arranged. "Cars and Girls" is another track that when I hear brings a smile to my face and "The Best of Prefab Sprout: Life of Suprises" is a must have in your music libary.
Another LP you need in your library is "Dreamcatcher" from Andy McKee. I have showcase tunes by this gifted acoustic guitarist and "I Will See You Again"
is another track that blows me away. If you have had a rough day, throw
on this LP and just let your cares melt away. The arrangement with this
track is very cool.
Whenever I hear songs by Seal it puts me in mind of movies like "I am Legend", "Children of Men", "Equilibrium"...very furturist, struggling for the good of men. "Tinsel Town" for me paints a world that is bleak, hopeless, a quick fix for happiness that will not last. Not all of his songs leaves me feeling drained and dark but this one tells off on Hollywood (that's if he's talking about Hollywood but it sure paints a picture of how it really is doesn't he?).
The opposite is true when hearing Nicolay's "Hey!" I love playing this song, over and over and over and over...you get the message. For me this track showcase the city lights, hanging out with your friends just enjoying life. Sometime this month and the following months I have to make a pledge to get a LP by Nicolay every pay period so I can really dig into this genius music collage. ^_^

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
