Greatest Misses
On a freezing February night in 1986, Halley’s Comet made its closest approach to the Earth. We had dinner in the oven when The Mrs. suggested we go out to see it, so I said we should go later. Except we didn’t, not that night or any other night. And …
Top 5: Don?t Know Much
Filed under: Podcasts, Soul/R&B, SoulSites, SoulTrackin'
It’s spring break, 1978, sometime around the end of March. A bunch of us are on a school trip to Quebec City, the culmination of four years spent studying French. Our group—maybe 20 of us, but I forget—are staying in a semi-rundown hotel, which we have to ourselves. There’s only …
Time Slips Away
Filed under: Podcasts, Soul/R&B, SoulSites, SoulTrackin'
The laptop music stash is up over 9,400 songs now, all on a little portable drive I can slip into a shirt pocket. (In many ways, the 21st century is really, really cool, although I don’t understand the attraction of Twitter.) Late yesterday afternoon while I was killing time waiting …

KELLY ROWLAND FIRED or in music terms “dropped”
After firing Beyonce daddy’s Columbia decided to fire her. In their words they fear she’s no longer commercially viable. Damn, so in other words “you’re not as popular as Beyonce”. Let’s be real! Why would the world need a Beyonce clone? We don’t, hell I’m trying to figure out how to get rid of Beyonce from popping up every 2 minutes.
I do feel sorry for Kelly but the economy is bad and if your ass can’t make the company any money, you must go. I always though Kelly was a capable artist if she would ever get off of Beyonce’s buttocks. She never really developed as an solo artist. She would have been better off if she would have continue to go hard at being an actress. I enjoyed her on My Wife and Kids (or whatever show that was that she played the cousin) and Freddy Vs. Jason (that’s my sh*t) but I will admit “Seat Filler” wasn’t the best. For some reason I don’t think I made a good case for her. Oh well, she didn’t make a good case for her butt to keep a job.

There?s a Strangeness About This Day
You can have M*A*S*H, I Love Lucy, Cheers, Seinfeld, or any of the other contenders in the race for greatest sitcom ever if I can take Sports Night, the ABC series created by Aaron Sorkin, which ran from 1998 to 2000. It was Sorkin’s first series, in which he honed …
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 [...]

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 ...
