What really surprised me was just how sad I became. Michael's music really hasn't spoken to me in nearly 20 years and personality wise, well let's just say I felt he got a bit odd. As a child <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Thriller-Special-Michael-Jackson/dp/B00005QGAZ/ref=pd_sim_m_2" target="_blank"><span style="font-style: italic;">Thriller</span></a> and to a lesser extent, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Off-Wall-Michael-Jackson/dp/B00005QGAT/ref=pd_sim_m_2" target="_blank"><span style="font-style: italic;">Off the Wall</span></a> were my life. As an budding artist Michael Jackson became one of my favorite subjects to draw second only to ET. I had the <span style="font-style: italic;">Beat It</span> jacket (the black plastic knock off) and of course the glove and would moonwalk all over the kitchen. I vividly remember watching MTV from 10 AM until 10PM just to catch the <span style="font-style: italic;">Thriller</span> video. So am I sad for losing Michael Jackson or am I mourning the loss of my childhood? I suppose a bit of both. One thing that cannot be denied is that Michael Jackson was an amazing one of a kind entertainer. Check out any of his performances on You Tube and you'll see how uniquely unreal he was. His singing style was unlike any other and he seemed to move like the laws of gravity simply did not apply. Hopefully folks will remember the music and not all the crap that seemed to drag him down. He was an icon but also a son, a brother, and a father. I never cared for the "King of Pop" moniker but he is definitely someone who changed the game forever. Go back and re listen to his music and you'll hear the genius who will hopefully find the peace he couldn't seem to find here.</span><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:85%;" ><br />Michael Jackson:<span style="font-style: italic;"> I Can't Help It</span></span><br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="divplaylist" width="335" height="28"><param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=7758793-523"><embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=7758793-523" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="335" height="28"></embed></object>Buffalo West Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12410642552528432655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743407920786075063.post-57401462804692700192009-06-25T18:06:00.002-04:002009-06-25T19:01:19.119-04:00For MichaelJust heard the shocking news about Michael Jackson....more to follow.<br /><object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/qxccOrH5Kro&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/qxccOrH5Kro&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>Buffalo West Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12410642552528432655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743407920786075063.post-84653059448242282172009-06-23T09:55:00.002-04:002009-06-24T11:40:51.977-04:00Purplish Rain<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxi0hizgMN7kdcfNi9lCtpjFRoXMIMttHjvcJa9wei9h8PNRE_KZr_oTfRui4qp8bw1PDxTjw23XiJkWhduneYyi4VgeXqq73zqqoi6Wd80XDWouytzB0Zy4TBz0zsDLlWs9_xqV_C-8E/s1600-h/Purplish-Rain_cover.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 270px; height: 270px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxi0hizgMN7kdcfNi9lCtpjFRoXMIMttHjvcJa9wei9h8PNRE_KZr_oTfRui4qp8bw1PDxTjw23XiJkWhduneYyi4VgeXqq73zqqoi6Wd80XDWouytzB0Zy4TBz0zsDLlWs9_xqV_C-8E/s320/Purplish-Rain_cover.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5350517719875374242" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:85%;"><span style="font-size:180%;">H</span>ere are the only two reasons to get the Prince tribute from this month's Spin magazine.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings: <span style="font-style: italic;">Take Me With U</span></span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Mariachi El Bronx:</span><span style="font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;"> I Would Die 4U</span></span>Buffalo West Musichttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12410642552528432655noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743407920786075063.post-58614499246338529342009-06-19T10:13:00.002-04:002009-06-19T10:15:45.408-04:00Why Can't We Live Together<a href="http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/%A5Artist%20GIF%20Images/Timmy-Thomas.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px; float: left; width: 200px;" alt="" src="http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/%A5Artist%20GIF%20Images/Timmy-Thomas.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong></strong></span></div><div><span style="font-size:85%;"><strong>Timmy Thomas: <em>Why Can't We Live Together</em></strong><br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" id="divplaylist" width="335" height="28"><param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=7697670-c12"><embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=7697670-c12" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" width="335" height="28"></embed></object><br /><br />This song is proof that less is more.

Born in 1943 in Kingston, Brooks has the heart of a bop jazzman beating to a reggae rhythm, and his experiments with ancient rasta nyahbinghi drum patterns has led him to fuse elements of calypso, rhumba, jazz, Afro-beat, funk, Latin, and soul into a totally unique Sun Ra-like synthesis." This unique blend is exemplified on the track <span style="font-style: italic;">Blackness Of Darkness</span>. It starts straight ahead jazz but it transforms midway and suddenly goes full force reggae. Very cool stuff and the perfect song for the changing season. You can find this late '70's track on the Strut Records 2008 compilation <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Calypsoul-70-Caribbean-Various-Artists/dp/B001BS0JMO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1241623560&sr=8-1"target="_blank"><span style="font-style: italic;">Calypsoul 70</span></a>.

One immediately leaps to mind: Charles Brown. His incredible piano skills and laid-back vocal delivery remained every bit as mesmerizing at the end of his life as they were way back in 1945, when his groundbreaking waxing of "Drifting Blues" invented an entirely new blues genre for sophisticated postwar revelers: an ultra-mellow, jazz-inflected sound perfect for sipping a late-night libation in some hip after-hours joint. Two of Brown's biggest hits happened to be Christmas songs and they are the first in our series holiday posts.
