Roddykat… Working Hard For The Money!
Update 11/8/06:
Oops, forgot to add Roddykat’s suggestion, Johnny Kemp, Just Got Paid, to the list. Also, I found a few more money/working songs we can add.
13. Johnny Kemp – Just Got Paid
14. N’Sync – Just Got Paid (this version ain’t that bad, and it mixes nicely with Kemp’s version)
15. The Fatback Band – Gotta Get My Hands On Some (Money)
16. Collage – Money In Your Pocket
17. Dolly Parton – Working Nine To Five (Dolly Parton?! Hey, I’ve always liked this song [and the movie too!])
18. Michael Jackson – Money
19. Gwen Guthrie – Ain’t Nothing Goin’ On But The Rent (can’t believe I almost forgot about this one)
20. Funkadelic – Funky Dollar Bill
21. William DeVaughn – Be Thankful For What You’ve Got
Today’s “build a playlist” is dedicated to and inspired by my friend Roddykat over at The Brown Spoon weblog. While reading his post, Time off – and it feels so good, I was thinking, ‘Damn, this boy is busting it like I do, 7 days a week, third shift, crazy hours!’ And, of course, my next thought was let’s create a playlist about money and working hard to chase down that almighty dollar.
Roddykat, this Bud’s for you!
The Playlist: Working Hard For The Money
1. Barrett Strong – Money (That’s What I Want)
2. Simply Red – Money’s Too Tight Too Mention
3. John Handy – Hard Work
4. Fruteland Jackson – Blues 2.0
5. The O’Jays – For The Love Of Money
6. Michael Jackson – Working Day And Night7. The Isley Brothers – Work To Do7. Main Ingredient – Work To Do
9. Destiny’s Child – Bills, Bills, Bills
10. Donna Summer – She works Hard For The Money
11. The Drifters – Money Honey
12. Sam Cooke – Nobody Knows You When You’re Down And Out
That’s the start. What else can we add?

Wow, thanks! I appreciate it. And here I thought that I couldn’t turn red for being brown. 
The only thing I can say is, you gotta do what you do.
Just trying to get to payday so I can do my Johnny Kemp impression. The song, anyways.
Heh, heh, glad that brought a smile to your face. Johnny Kemp, Just Got Paid, is on the money (pardon the pun). Added.
Tell me what you're thinking...

All That Jazz: In Celebration of Jazz Appreciation Month
I don’t talk about my love for jazz enough on this blog so I figure jazz appreciation month is the perfect time to do so. I have to admit that my knowledge is lacking. Mama Vivrant Thang was never really into jazz so it wasn’t played much around the house. She did love Kenny G though and [...]
The “Boys” Are Back In Town…
Remember the Four Brothers Beats blog? Well, the boys are back! BUT... not quite in the way you may have been expecting. It's, how shall we say, "the same, but different!"

Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and Artist Creativity Intersect
Hello readers and listeners. I trust all is well today. This post is a follow-up to the previous post about the subject of an upcoming podcast I hope to resurrect entitled Fusion. The concept of this podcast came to me via an off the cuff discussion I had a few years ago with a fellow podcaster/recording artist/graphic designer. Both of us, being musicians in our own right, began discussing our backgrounds and influences in making music, which invariably talking about how technology (past and present) played a role taking the music from inner to outer. I began to see the different paths ...
