Wonderful set

11 Dec

From some of my favorite artists, here’s Herbie Hancock, Marcus Miller, and Harvey Mason doing a TED talk. Music aside (can you really aside music as great as this?), TED also has some really interesting videos covering all sorts of issues: technology, morality, you name it. They always seem to be on a cutting edge. Oh, and also…the Ndelible mixtape finally has a date! 1.11.11

Get your google calendars ready, and pull your wallets out! Well, the latter not so much. Tis gonna be free!

 
 

Regarding Chiropractors…

18 Oct

I’m an old man in a 22 year old’s body**. Between braces, my legendary sports career, and saxophone playing I’ve ended up with many neck and back issues.

A lot of folks I know are scared of chiropractors…they view them as witch doctors who do more harm than good. This couldn’t be further from the truth. I can only speak for myself, but every time I’ve gotten an adjustment life’s been better. It’s just a good thing to do, whether or not you have acute pain. Your bones are the foundational structure for your body, and a lot of problems can be caused by maladjustments…headaches, ear pain, all sorts of stuff.

This is a random PSA, I know, lol. But I can’t help but suggest chiropractors as a viable option of pain relief. I’ve sent a lot of people in the direction of my chiropractor, Dr. Stewart Loeb. Gonna keep doing the same!

**my extraordinary amount of facial hair is also a sign of my aging prowess

By the dub, there’s been a bunch of great music coming out lately:

-Bilal’s newest album is dope!

-As is the Foreign Exchange’s!

-Same to Chuck Brown’s new joint!

-Lizz Wright’s too (production credits to Dr. Bernice Johnson Reagon of Sweet Honey in the Rock!!) Music ain’t dead, folks! Far from it.

John Legend and The Roots — Wake Up!

23 Sep

Sorry for the lack of updates. Been really busy with school, work, and practices. Just wanted to share this great video featuring songs from John Legend/The Roots’ new album Wake Up!

Quite a nice record…features a bunch of covers from the classic soul era, some well-known, others not-so-much. It’s definitely a message-centric album. If people will slow down enough to hear it, is to be seen. I hope it ends up all over the radio, but I won’t get my hopes up.

Anywho, I could rap on this for a minute, but I need to practice and write these papers (the ones that are torturing my soul. I’m talking to you 620, 650, 698). Watch the vid. Buy the album!
