November is here so it's time for my penultimate legend. Next week will bring the long-hoped-for opportunity to see three Motown Divas: Mable John (the first woman ever signed to the label), Chris Clark and Brenda Holloway. This month I am celebrating a Diva who sadly died nearly 40 years ago. Tammi Terrell lived a life that sounds like the sort of plotline Halle Berry would give her eyeliner to play...

The Life and Times of a 16 Year Old Nerd. (Free subscription) | 02/11/2009

So I'm back at school after the week break. I had a lot of work to do for today, and all of it was done last night. I'm so unorganised and lazy! Most of the work was music work. I had to learn a song to perform to be recorded and I also had an essay to write. So yesterday I had my work cut out for me... I managed to finish it all though. I'm really happy with the choice of song I made for my performance....

(That's the late Art Wood on vocals, as in older brother of Ron Wood , BTW. The evocative organ noodling...

And, when paired with that other pocket-sized protection, could lead to quite the romantic little evening. Designer Ryan Harc is thinking pretty much the same thing with his little wink wink nudge nudge description. The concept, he says, will let us share "the blissful...

MusicEmissions (Free subscription) | 30/10/2009

I always approach the Marley family albums with some reservation. How can any of Bob Marley's kids ever hold a candle to their father? Bob paved the path not only for Reggae to reach the masses but pretty much guaranteed that any of his kids who picked up the mic would be shadowed from his past. Many of the Marley boys have seen some success: Ziggy is the most well known, more recently Damien "Jr....
