Old School Friday - Jazz

By Kevin ⋅ November 21, 2008 ⋅ 10 comments

It’s Friday! It’s payday! And as ZZ Top would say, “I got a pocket full of change.” Happy Old School Friday! This week’s theme is Jazz. I cannot express enough to you how much I love Jazz. Whenever I’m feeling a creative funk, out come the Jazz records. Feeling down, play some Jazz. Feeling up, play some Jazz. A good friend of mine once stated that if you listen to John Coltrane’s A Love Supreme at least once a week, you are guaranteed a happy life. I couldn’t agree more.

Old School Friday - Birth Year Songs

My apologies for missing last week’s Old School Friday. It’s been a rough week for me and blogging has been light. I’m not one to miss two weeks in a row, though, so here we go with a new OSF selection! This weeks theme is “Birth Year Songs.” Now see, folks want me to date [...]

Old School Friday - Fight Songs For Obama

By Kevin ⋅ October 31, 2008 ⋅ 7 comments

Happy Old School Friday, everybody! This week’s theme is Fight Songs for your political candidate. While thinking about this theme, it occurred to me that I’ve never actually came out in support of a candidate for President, preferring instead to just give my opinions–sometimes in favor, sometimes not. And yes, I did seriously consider voting [...]

It’s Friday and time to do it up Old School style. This week’s theme is One Hit Wonders.
This one was tough. There are so many good one hit wonders out there. You can rest assured, though; as much as it might amuse my sometimes evil little heart to drop some Vanilla Ice, Right Said [...]

Your Revolution

By Kevin ⋅ October 23, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

I was reminded of this song on this thread over at Jack and Jill Politics. So good. It’s a remix, as it were, of Gill Scot-Heron’s “The Revolution Will Not Be Televised,” and takes on misogynistic lyrics in Hip Hop. I’m kinda pissed now, though. I just spent half an hour digging through my records [...]

It’s Old School Friday Y’all, and this weeks theme is “Duets.” As always, much love to all the other OSF participants. Let’s do this.
First off, let’s just go with the classic from Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”
Really, it get’s no better than this. This is beauty incarnate. This is [...]

Old School Friday - Prince!

It’s Old School Friday! Finally! After a long, hectic work week, I’m looking forward to just sitting back and kickin’ it with some Old School Jams. This week’s theme is Prince. Now, y’all should know I love me some Prince, but I’m a little mad at him because of his beef with You Tube and [...]
