Glitter 2

Tomorrow night is the anniversary party for my lovely wife Edie and I. Last year we were married at Le Passage on Saturday, March 21st and now we are having our one year celebration party at Glitter. Joining me on the decks is Tim Zawada, Scotty Brandon, and the Whitelabel Djs (Sadie & Madrid)

The event will be held at Le Passage and starts at 10pm with a complementary champagne reception until 11pm. The event will go until 4am.

The Zombies

"Time of the Season" is one of my favorite tracks from the era of the late 60s / early 70s. The song was written by the keyboard player, Rod Argent and was recorded at Abbey Road studios in 1967. The track blew up in 1969 which was kinda sad as at that point the band had already been split up for about 12 months. It did reach a number 3 position on the Billboard Hot 100 charts.

TV on the Radio - Ambulance

The track that really got me into this group was "Wolf Like Me" which was off of their 3rd album, "Return to Cookie Mountain." After which my wife really got into all of their albums and found the song "Ambulance." It is one of those songs that make you happy that people can still write songs about love without coming off as cheesy or without sacrificing integrity by trying to appeal to a lowest common denominator with a catchy hook.

After Laughter Comes Tears

Wendy was a part of the amazing label, Stax Records. Her stage name of "Wendy Rene" was actually given to her by the one and only Otis Redding. After a little while in her career she married a fellow Stax employee and had a child. She was going to fly out and perform with Otis Redding and the Bar-Kays for what was going to be her final last performance. She declined at the last minute for she wanted to say home with her newborn child. The plane ended up crashing in Madison, WI where Redding and six others died.

This track that I've posted below has been used in the Wu Tang classic, "Tears" as well as Alicia Keys cover of the tune. Every time that I play this out I have at least 2 people come up and ask me about it. By far one of the most amazing tracks of that era.

Day 7 : I Got My Mind Made Up

This is a disco-funk gem also off of the Salsoul label. Instant Funk is a group from Jersey that was the back-up for many famous artists such as: Curtis Mayfield, The O'Jays, Evelyn Champagne King, MFSB, and Lou Rawls. This particular track made number one on both the disco and r&b charts in 1979.
