MLFM - Podcast 008 - Something Old, Something New, Something Borrowed Blue {26June2010}

This line-up went through a couple of changes before I ended up with the tunes you are hearing now. At first I had more vocal tracks in here but it just didn't feel right. When you do everything yourself (finding the artwork, writing the show notes, links) and sometimes it's a handful but the cool thing is that in the end you call the shots; if you like the playlist you keep it, if you don't, chuck it.

I thank God that blank CDs are not expensive because when I make my playlist I burn it to a disc in mp3 form because this way it pulls all the info about the tune and it saves the music line-up. What you are hearing is the 3 line up so I ended up burning 3 CDs which means the other 2 line ups you will never here because if you did it will change the entire tone of the podcast.

The Title for this podcast came from the first four tracks you will hear because the "old" comes from the track by Vince Guaraldi, the "new" comes from the track from the talent trio (Doug Fresh, Fave, Todd "The Big La" Kelley) and "something borrowed blue" is a couple of tracks from the late great Tito Puente. Something about Latin music is so vibrant, so alive and makes you feel the music notes. To blend Mr. Puente with relaxing tunes I believed the mixture is right. I hope you enjoy the selection and have a great weekend and work week.

The Podcast You Need On Your iPod...RIGHT NOW

I first started listening to Macedonia's latest podcast, "BSOTS 102 - Foundation Media Showcase (vol. 3)" earlier Wednesday while working out but had to put it on pause because me and my queen was out and about so now I pop it back on at 3:45 in the morning and all I can say is two words...

Thank you.

When I hear commercial radio I want to cry...literally. R&B is all but dead in my eyes and hip-hop? If you grew in the 80s and hear what's on the radio now it makes you want to throw up and you would think, "Where the hell is the quality when it comes to this genre?" It's still here and I want to thank cats like Todd Kelley , Nikki, Fave and this man, Macedonia when he produces podcast like this. I should be sleep because I want to get up early and snap some photos but I can't turn off his latest podcast because these cuts take me back to a time when I first discovered hip-hop in a small town in Illinois...when MTV, BET, VH1 played videos (man those were da dayz) and when you listened to a hip-hop track over and over again so you could learn the lyrics and impress your friends and the girls.

This collection of artists that Macedonia is bringing to the masses is something you will not get tired of and it will make you do some serious hip-hop crate diggin' because what's beautiful about this set is that it gives me faith that there are still artists that are still true to the game when it comes to the essence of art and gift of hip-hop and this is why we as music lovers have to support the men and women in these genre and share with the masses, especially the youth to let them know this is the true face of hip-hop.

I need to go to bed now.

Thanx again Jason for sharing your love for the world of quality hip-hop.

MLFM podcast #007 - Acoustic Bliss {Lotus Edition}

When first moving over to Missouri the music I was hooked on was Acoustic Alchemy and one of my favorite tunes from them is "Overnight Sleeper". I have always loved the acoustic guitar but when I heard that beautiful composition I was hooked. From there it lead me on the journey to seek out artists and groups that plays acoustic instruments which now is leading me to try and come with different podcasts each time.

What drives me on the music I enjoy is how it makes me feel in the moment. This selection of music is a collection that when you are

MLFM podcast #006 - Day of the Weird Beginning {Mystique Edition}

After doing the Sunday Brunch it's funny how I found my "Sea legs" in regards to my music podcast. At times it can be frustrating when putting together a playlist because let's be honest, you are posting music that you dig but you also hope to find an audience that's diggin' what you're doing. Each playlist is like sharing a little of your insight of yourself with the world, you're allowing them a "peak" of what is inside of your mind when it comes your taste of music, what drives you, what relaxes you.

I'm really trying to be more of an extrovert when it comes being in sea of people. When it comes to my podcast, my blog post, on twitter I express myself freely but if you met me in person I'm so reserved and not because I'm shallow it's the other way around, I don't want to push myself off on people and make them think, "Man this cat is pushy". Now once I get to know you I'm a chatterbox but I think all introverts are like this. What I dig about this music line up is that this shows me at my best when it comes to being open. I love how this set of music makes me feel...how it puts me in a "just be" mood and I hope this is how episode makes you feel.

Be Blessed, Be Safe,

& Have a Great Work Week :-)
