Music Duke

Sadly, George Duke, this beloved composer, producer, musician and singer left us with no music duke 3 weeks ago. Good thing is that he will keep shining on as long as our speakers and our ears still function normally.


 


So long George Duke. Thank you for your music.

* About 8 months ago, the SyntheTigers did a really good job on my favorite one,"Shine on", sharing it with a free download. Check it out and download it here.

Would you do it again?

Sand in my hair, camping in the shade of trees, relaxing hammock, strawberry tart with cream and chocolate, urchin spines in my toe (every damn summer), snorkeling, iced vodka, delicious salmon, wet bathing suit, ridiculous dives, fucking huge rocks on the beach, summer theatre, strolls, worn-out flip-flops, aromatic sunscreen and lots of music to support all of the above.



Yeah, I 'd do it again.

The crown is ours

Back. But not for long. Gotta keep searchin' for my crown.


* "The idea is not that black, white or anyone is better, but that we all have our place. We've all made contributions - and mistakes too. Wearing the crown is reaching the top of your potential. You could be a writer or you could be a mechanic, but you can still wear the crown." -Gary Byrd

Bermuda, Bahama, come on pretty mama

In a couple of days I'm going away on vacation, but this year something freakishly weird is going on: I don't know where I'm going, I don't know when I'll be coming back, I don't even know where I want to go for the first time in my life. What I do know is that I ain't going nowhere without these.

Pogo - SplurgenShitter: You may not have a Darth Vader mask handy, but always, always, always dance like noone is watching.

The Treatment - Waves: Play with the waves just like you did when you were about 8 and your only worries were not to have peas for lunch and to be able to convince someone to get you an ice-cream in the afternoon.

Heion - Not knowing: Sometimes not knowing what you 're going to do and not having anything planned can be good (so they say). Grasp the chance! Or plan on graspin' it... 

Black Seeds - Don't turn around: Well, unless you want to.

PowercuT - Morning swim: Or night swim. Or all-day swim.

Dead Rose Music Company - Hankasheef: Just load lots of Dead Rose Music Company to your player.

DeeJMD - Amazing: Have an absolutely, utterly and completely amazing time. No matter what.

Keni Burke - Risin' To The Top (OOFT! Long Edit): Let your soul reach the top of the world.

Lebatman - Funkit: And if something goes wrong, well... funkit!

That sounds just about right. Have a great time y’all whatever you do and remember: there's nothing like music to relieve the soul and uplift it. Well said by Mickey Hart.

F*ck waiting

Ok, I'm back from the other side. But I can't wait to get outta here and head to a place where the sea will be the only thing I 'll be able to see ahead of me.


And it's a '79er. Told you so.

Here you 'll find Micamino's touch on this song, who also offers a free download for those who can't wait. In general.

The possessed post

Last night I attended a very intense concert, one that I 've been reading about over the past years, but never got the chance to see. Yesterday was my time to live through the experience of Roger Waters' The Wall live and I can honestly say I still get goose bumps when I think about all the symbolisms presented and how skillfully combined they all were with the masterpieces that were performed either in front or behind the glorious wall.

I'm not the classic Floyd fan (surprise), but I believe I can appreciate the greatness of music wherever I can catch it, even if it is not in my standard influences. I can say I feel even more the superbness of compositions and music inspirations, when I get carried away by music pieces and genres that are not included in my everyday playlist.

Obviously, The Wall live was too intense for this disco gal and that's probably why today my lips hurt as I bit them and bit them to block the emotion that would end up in tears and would make a fool of myself to the enthusiastic crowd around me, as it was enjoying "Run like hell" (this is their disco track as Nick Mason has once said ironically, after producer Bob Ezrin suggested to use a disco beat on this one), "Comfortably numb", "Mother", "Hey you", "Another brick in the wall", while I was about to cry like a baby, moved from the references on capitalism, fascism, war and the victims of all of the above.

I don't know where all these came from. I logged in today to post something about the instrumental version of McFadden and Whitehead's Ain't no stoppin' us now by Dj Butcher, probably giving it a greater sense than what it represents, a revolutionary sense, influenced from yesterday's symbolisms. But instead, my brain ordered my typing fingers otherwise. Looks like I smashed my own wall and jumped to the other side, just for a while.
