The B.B.Q. Band got loads of hits, but instead of posting “On The Beat”, here’s maybe a little lesser known number, Shep Pettibone’s take on “Dreamer” with Curtis Hairston on the vocals. The B.B.Q. Band – Dreamer (Shep Pettibone / Long Vocal Version) (320K) (zShare)

I don’t really have much to say about Nile Rodgers, his band Chic and his work with artists such as Grace Jones, Diana Ross, Sister Sledge, and numerous others speak for itself. This feelgood spring tune is from his 1983 album, ‘Adventures In The Land Of Good Groove’. The day is kinda summery today, as … Continue Reading »

When thinking about boogie, 80′s is where it’s at for me. I’m sure everybody remembers this beauty, and what always hits the spot is ‘Never Knew Love Like This’ from Alexander O’Neal & Cherelle. It has that likkle bit cheesy atmosphere, but avoids that with it’s true soul feel. Alexander O’Neal was supposed to the lead … Continue Reading »

I’v been again into this lately. I read the other day U-Tern’s opinion that sample spotting is a cliche, roughly 10 years late. You’re wrong Waughn, as an idea of course it’s not fresh, but since people got over the scare of sampling (you know what, I think we’re not going to jail for this), … Continue Reading »

Why are all fragrances always named with such words as obsession, seduction, passion and so on? They need to be sensual I guess and I touch myself.

I used to be obsessed with this thing, always looking for the soul originals of the hip hop tunes or the disco originals to the house song and so on…. You know you’re a retard when you buy a shit album for a lot of money just because it contains a certain sample… well you … Continue Reading »
