Phillyist Playlist: The O'Jays at Liacouras Center
Phillyist (Free subscription) | 13/11/2009
Photo courtesy of Donnell Clarke, Clarke & Associates There are innumerable ways to open this concert preview. We could do straight down the middle, noting the sheer amount of R&B power taking the stage at Temple University this weekend. Or perhaps a witty (sexual yet tasteful) reference to starting a love train? But seriously, just look at the photo. Who wouldn't want to spend a Saturday...

Mindless Ones (Free subscription) | 28/10/2009
Apart from those good old boys at FB and their typically trustworthy take, the silence greeting this one has been deafening, no? Or do I just not frequent enough those corners of the webnet where ‘Planetary 27 sucks awesome rocks!!’ has been a common refrain these past few weeks? Planetary? I don’t think so though – I [...]

Rod Stewart Souled Out
Glorious Noise (Free subscription) | 20/10/2009
Remember earlier this year, when Daptone Records was robbed, how they threw out the teaser that the Dap-Kings were scheduled to lay down some music for Rod Stewart? We wondered if this could be a good sign of a return...

Mayer Hawthorne: A Strange Arrangement
prefixmag (Free subscription) | 13/10/2009
If soul is a sound, has got it down pat. A Strange Arrangement, his debut album, on Stones Throw Records, is a collection of retro-leaning R&B so perfectly reproduced that Hawthorne's label's head honcho, Peanut Butter Wolf, famously mistook the first single for a remix of some lost classic soul side. It’s evident from the performances on A Strange Arrangement that Hawthorne (neé Andrew...

Throwback Thursday x Diggin' In The Crates- Closer than Close
The Liberators of Hip Hop (Free subscription) | 08/10/2009
Artist: The Stylistics Album: Closer Than Close Song: Closer than Close Release Date: 1981 I thought I would post this because I got this album cover and record from a cool store for a dollar last week. It also helps that the Stylistics is my favorite group of all time. I thought I would knock out two birds with one stone. By the way, that is one of the dumbest saying ever. It is physically impossible...

I Can’t Give You Anything (But MY LOVE)
Vignette: subrosa (Free subscription) | 06/10/2009
Originally a song by The Stylistics I tweaked the lyrics a bit! If I had money I’d go out Buy you beers, treat you like a king And in a chauffeured limousine We’d look so fine But I’m an ordinary girl And my pockets are empty Just an ordinary girl But I’m yours till I die I can’t give you anything But my love, but my [...]
