What's up People? I've been gone for a little, been busy with some things, but I'm back to bring some cheer. Although, I've been disenchanted with the whole Holiday Season as of late (ex. my upcoming birthday), like always, music helps me get thru it. This whole time of year is very reflective to me, with my birthday and the new year at hand. A bittersweet reminder that time truly is "slipping into the Future". The children I work with hardly grasp that idea(rightly so), and are understandably naive. In a way you can just feel there excitement & holiday Spirit, that seems to make things a lot better.
Anyways, here's a couple goodies I've got for you. Thank God the RIAA stopped deciding to sue people for sharing music, so I'm going all out. Enjoy!! And leave me some comments....
Low Budget- "Smooth Holiday Mix"
Real smooth "Yacht Rock(y)" mix, I recommend this 4 anyone, but especially my Caucasian readers. Let this rock at your Christmas party's, guaranteed to hype the whole family.
James Brown- "Soulful Christmas"
Why wouldn't I?, He's the Godfather of Soul...
Vince Guaraldi Trio- "Christmas Time is Here"
Classic, Jazz Standard by the great ivory player...(Godfather of Christmas Music?)
Vince Guaraldi- "Linus & Lucy (Pocketknife's Hark, the Holler Remix)"
Nice club mix of this classic theme, sleigh bells and all...
Platnum- "Love Shy (Crazy Cousins Remix)"
I been really diggin the funky house genre as of late, its just so soulful & groovy and Crazy Cousins are at the top of their game...
The Fugees- "How Many Mic's?"
Anyone who thinks of calling themselves a rapper might want to make a different New Years Resolution after listening to this. L-Boogie, Clef, and even Pras could slay anyone of these cats out nowadays, a lot of cats on the "come up" could learn a lot from Ms. Hill and the reFugee Camp... (you should prolly just download The Score, your welcome.)
M.I.A.- "Paper Planes(DFA Remix)"
Best Remix of this Grammy-nominated track...
Cassie- "Official Girl(CFCF Remix)"
Maybe its the spacious Reverb on the track, or Cassie amazingly sexy speaking voice(she's not really singin, is she?), or just the thought of her singin this to me, but n/h this track has been on repeat in my iTunes...
Hair- "Aquarius"
With all the craziness thats going on I'm wondering when the climax will come. And when it comes, could that climax in fact be the dawn of the Age of Aquarius?
Raphael Saadiq- The Way I See It
Could be the album of the Year, its between him and Kanye. This album effectively transports me to another era, this guys is on to somethin....
Diplo- AEIOU
One of Diplo's first mixtapes, filled with rare grooves and breaks.
Oscar the Grouch- "I Hate Christmas"
Need an explanation?
Again Happy Holidays people I'll back soon with some Kwanzaa spirit on the blog. Holler at me.
