2012 VISION :: Primal Scream - Come Together

Welcome to the New Year ... not much has changed. Intentions have gone out ... resolutions and promises made, soon to be broken. Maybe, we strive too hard and sell ourselves short. Maybe if we can stick to one goal this year, this should be it - Come Together as One! There is no division, no solitude, no I ... there is only us ... and living together with people in harmony is not such a bad thing really. So come on in 2012, let's do it, let's come together as one people and stop the hating, the fear and the bloodshed.

THE GOLDEN ERA OF HIP HOP

I've been on a 90's Hip Hop tip lately .... so many good artists from that era - Nas, AZ, Common, Mos Def, A Tribe Called Quest, Souls of Mischief, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dog, Camp Lo, Goodie MOB, Outkast, Da Bush Babies, The Roots .... here's a few gems ~

Az - Rather Unique


The Roots - I Remain Calm


Da Bush Babees - We Run Things (It's Like Dat)


Lords of the Underground - Chief Rocka

NOT WACK :: Souls of Mischief - '93 til Infinty

I was watching The Wackness which is a great movie with a kick ass soundtrack that includes Notorius B.I.G., A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock and more. So anyway, what do they play ~ only the greatest hip-hop track ever:

World Party - Message In The Box

I used to LOVE World Party. I saw them live with Faith No More and Leonard Cohen at Rock Am Ring in Germany in 1993. Led by Karl Wallinger, the band has a very Beatle-esque vibe.

Our little lives get complicated :: Love & Rockets - No New Tale to Tell

Some old school R&B for my disappointed soul tonight

Damn..








And seriously, is Kelly Rowland the most under-rated mainstream r&b goddess or what?

Not as bad as herpes

I guess I kinda knew it would happen eventually. I mean getting down and dirty so often and with so many others... and yes, I'll admit it, even by myself sometimes. Sharing sick grooves and raunchy rhythms with reckless abandon with numerous strangers, friends, now more than friends.. it couldn't be helped really. It was only a matter of time before I became infected. No not herpes, but maybe something just as annoying; the need to tell others what to listen to. Well, I was invited to this infection so I guess that's a good thing.

Hi, I'm Miriam and I regularly blog on emerging social and economic structures in the American Midwest at www.miriaminthemidwest.com. I met Noble a couple of months ago and have been regularly loving new music finds from this blog and bombarding him with silly suggestions for adult contemporary radio station dance floor grooves ever since. Now you've gotten in on this action whether you like it or not. I don't know much about music genres, i just know what I like. I'm super happy to receive comments and suggestions to help me learn. My music taste is vast and varied but mostly centers around tunes that make me groove, pop princess melodies and Australian pop/folk/roots/dance music.

Ok so enough words from me....

Here is an infectious minimal techno/dub/?? tune featuring vocals from my dear friend, Angela.
Heart On A Satellite by heelsup69

I went to the Sade concert and was blown away by this.

And I recently remembered how much me and my girls loved jamming to this on our way to raves in 1998.
