In my humble opinion, Kimbra is exciting, inspired and remarkable. Was totally bummed that when her tickets went on sale for her upcoming April 17th Troubador show. They went on sale 1PM last Thursday on Ticketfly. I got online at 12:55 and got ready. The tickets sold out before the clock ticked to 1:01 PM.

Here is a song with major groove and intensity. Femi's father, Fela Kuti, is well known as having been a deeply political artist, with Femi following in Fela's footsteps. However, with this song, Femi takes it outside of politics and does something purely sex driven, lyrically, with the music in high funk mode... It's Cuban infused Nigerian soul that is like a universal language.
The first edition of the North Sea Jazz Festival took place in 1976 in the Nederlands Congresgebouw in The Hague. In those early days there were six venues, three hundred artists and about nine thousand visitors. In the very first festival year, internationally renowned jazz legends performed, such as Sarah Vaughan, Count Basie, Dizzy Gillespie and Stan Getz, as well as most Dutch avant-garde artists.
In 2006, the festival moved to its current, bigger, location in Rotterdam. This year, the festival will host more than a thousand musicians, spread out over 150 performances and thirteen different stages. Though the numbers of visitors were between 65.000 and 70.000 in recent years, the festival still manages to retain its intimate character.

When this record came out, it felt so good. Had it on vinyl in 1984. We had big stereos and it felt really really bad, as in BADASS. Few rock like Van Halen. Enjoy!
Came across Elliot Glass on YouTube a while back and immediately loved his films of LA indie bands shot in what seems to be various living rooms. He has amassed a bunch of great recordings. His crew at Little Videos records the sound beautifully and the photography/video work is pretty darned good and always fits. Here is another cool shoot of local Echo Park/Los Angeles band, Willoughby.
Music Television is very proud to present one of the greatest artists and civil rights activists in the history of modern music, also known as The High Priestess of Soul. Nina Simone was a true original.
This live concert footage, captured in the summer of 1969 when she performed at the Harlem Cultural Festival in Harlem's Mount Morris Park, is a treasure.

Here is some more live concert footage shot in London in 1968, where she performs the same song, for a audience in Europe, at a slightly slower tempo and cops a subdued groove than the take above. Enjoy!

New Zealand recording artist Hollie Smith has her own brand of soul and delivers the goods as she sits in front of a keyboard, live or in the studio, no pomp or circumstance needed.
So sad to hear about the death of the legend, Don Cornelius. Had the privilege of meeting him and shaking his hand at the 1995 NATPE Convention in Las Vegas where I told him how badass I thought he was. He didn't even crack a smile, but it didn't matter. He was a great man who paved the way for so many great artists.
