Cake Man Raven The Brooklyn Paper reports that thieves took a TV from Cake Man Raven , who has baked for the likes of 50 Cent, Isaac Hayes, and Spike Lee. Strange to steal a TV from a bakery, but nowhere near as weird as the guy who, according to WLTX , went into a Taco Bell in Haverstraw, New York, and demanded some money at gunpoint, only to then walk into the manager’s office and ask for...
Now that the Halloween Countdown is over it's time to move back into a more normal posting routine but instead of posting music this week I am going to post links to some of my favorite music blogs from the past month or so. A Closet of Curiosities - lots of "world" music and other eclectics (last three posts: Karaikudi Subramaniam and Trichy Sankaran - Sunada, Eduard Brunner - Dal niente,...
Until Franchise buys DJ hero so I can go over and review it for myself, this New York Times article by SETH SCHIESEL will have to do. “Over all the game includes more than 90 new mixes using more than 100 songs, fromEminem to Jay-Z (who consulted on the game) to Herbie Hancock, Beck, Isaac Hayes, Young MC, David Bowie, Tupac [...]
Isaac Hayes argues that if government-run health care in the United States is going to be like the Department of Motor Vehicles office in Chicago metro, we've got trouble ahead : "If the Public Option is anything like what I experienced yesterday at the DMV (which I suspect), please call the insane asylum. Yesterday, I had to update my driver’s license. A pragmatic, streamliner like me figured...
Rev. Isaac Hayes The option-option is another futile attempt of Washington Bureaucrats to take over the health care system. We don't need Nancy Pelosi or Pat Quinn opting us in or out. It's like health care hokey pokey.
According to the Conservative blog, Gateway Pundit, Jumping in Pools is a dangerous blog because we have a sense of humor. I guess Rush Limbaugh is Hitler because he played "Obama the magic negro" on his radio show. Jumping in Pools Blog is a website that specializes in writing realistic but fake stories, publishing them and then watching who will link to their bogus news story. The blog...
The conservative Republican blogger in Chicago metro, Ill., opines : "The latest push to force the public option on the American healthcare system is a last ditch effort by the Radical Left (i.e., Pompous Pelosi and the Congressional Crack Caucus) for a single-payer system. What’s so bad about the government running our health care system? Everything. Dare I mention dash-for-clunkers (car...
Just listening to a Stax collection today and I was reminded of Isaac Hayes' version of Bacharach and David's 'Walk On By'. It's bloody awful. Are there any other terrible covers of great songs by legendary artists. Stones and Dylan are excluded.
With the release of the new Blaxploitation film Black Dynamite , I've been re-watching all of my favorite Blaxploitation films again to prepare myself for this newest entry in the sub-genre. So here's a top 5 of my all time bad mother... you shut your mouth. I'm just talking about Blaxploitation! 5) Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song (1971) - One of the first of its kind, written and directed by the...

Yes another week another sample, this time around i'm honoured to introduce a fantastic slice of music from the Stax Records label. Arranged and performed by David Porter, who alongside cohort Isaac Hayes, rose to prominence writing a shedload of songs for numerous Stax artists in the 60's and 70's. Originally released as a single in 1971 before it appeared on his LP "Victim Of The Joke? An Opera"...
vinyl4giants has a quick interview with composer of the Black Dynamite OST Adrian "AJ" Younge. The film directed by Scott Sanders and starring Michael Jai White is a homage to classic 70's Blaxploitation flicks and needed a homage soundtrack to suit. Those familiar to the genre will know that it's one where the music is hugely integral. Often the soundtracks were works of a far higher calibre...
CHICAGO -- GOP candidate for U.S. Congress in the Second District of Illinois, Rev. Isaac C. Hayes, is lambasting Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. for engaging in racial demagoguery in the false controversy over a radio talk show host, while ignoring...
Isaac for Honesty.com . Jumping in Pools blogger Tim Knight 's interview with Isaac Hayes, GOP candidate for the Illinois 2nd Congressional District. The left is viciously attacking him --they must be really running scared.) Here's one excerpt: School Choice is necessary to allow honor students like Derrion Albert an opportunity to attend safer schools. His untimely death could have been prevented...
Republican candidate for Congress in Illinois second congressional district, the Rev. Isaac Hayes has recently answered a few questions for me, in regards to his congressional election, where he stands on the issues, his opponent (Democrat Jesse Jackson Jr.), and insidious attacks which the leftwing blogosphere has launched against the Reverend. Incase you forgot the story of the Democratic Underground...
