Don Blackman’s Don Blackman is one of the best albums ever recorded. Almost every song on that record is a classic. He never received his just due, but his music will live on forever. Whenever I want to experience beauty I just play Heart’s Desire or Morning Sunrise;)
DJ Polished Solid putting in the audio tribute work for Record Store Day!
Mix Description:
April 20, 2013 is one of my favorite days of the year, Record Store Day! For me and Questlove;), however, EVERY DAY is Record Store Day. I’m quite sure it is obvious that music is important to me, but a huge amount of my time has been and will continue to be spent in record stores. If you are in Philly, go support AKA music in Old City. If you are in the ATL, go support Moods Music and Criminal Records. If you are in NYC, go support Other Music and Academy Records. If you are in Chicago, go support Dusty Groove. If you are in Cali, go support Amoeba Records. Did I miss any?

DJ Polished Solid is hitting us with another great mix the theme this time based around her favorite track of the new Alice Smith album She entitled “Be Easy”
From the release…
STOP THE PRESSES!! It has been 7 years since Alice Smith’s last album. It has been a very long wait, but well worth it. To celebrate the release of She, I am doing a mix based around my favorite song on the album, Be Easy.
Alice Smith is by far my favorite, living female vocalist. NO ONE has a voice like hers. What an amazing year of music so far with my favorite living, male vocalist, Bilal, also releasing a new album, A Love Surreal, (an amazing record, don’t sleep on it…) just a month ago! Both in the same year for me is like heaven. Not to mention Jamie Lidell and Alice Russell’s new releases as well;) Please support all of ‘em by buying their amazing music so they can all continue to make the magic happen.
