LIONEL RITCHIE - HELLO

If i were rich, and if I had a grand foyer in my house, my first move would be to get someone to recreate this big clay Lionel head and put it on a pedestal. That way my guests would see it as soon as they walked in.  I think it would set an awesome tone.

Cheers!

SEAN CONNERY IS CRAZY...

Since I was little I have always admired Sean Connery.  I feel like the James Bond movies shaped part of my childhood, and to this day, I would see any movie with S.C. in it.  I recently found this ad, and wanted to post it as part of my "retro ad of the week series of posts.  Then I came across this Barbara Walters interview on you tube and was cracking up.  I want to say, that in no way shape or form do I condone hitting women, or anyone for that matter, but the way Connery handles this interview is amazing.  It seems like Barbara is trying to put him on the spot, and then it seems like Connery is a bit remorseful for what he said.  Then, in true Old School fashion, he says "I haven't changed my opinion..."

wow.

Cheers!

VIDEO OF THE WEEK #7 / SONG OF THE YEAR / DOPEST ARTIST OF ALL TIME

R KELLY - REAL TALK

R Kelly is one of the nicest entertainers I have met.  I have had the pleasure of DJing for him numerous times, and I can say without question, he is one of the smartest most talented dudes in the recording industry.  I know this isn't new, but it is amazing and one of my all-time favs.

Cheers!

VIDEO OF THE WEEK #6

BOBBY CALDWELL - DO FOR LOVE

I guess the big secret for so many people when this song was on the radio was that Caldwell was a white dude. I think that is why he pops out of the shadow at the beginning.  This song rules.

Cheers!

VIDEO OF THE WEEK #5

TOMMY SEEBACH - APACHE

Apache was first recorded in 1960 in London by The Shadows.  This instrumental jam has been rerecorded several times over the years, most notably by The Incredible Bongo Band in the 70's, and the re interpolation by the Sugar Hill Gang in the 80's. 

This Tommy Seebach version is not the best, but definitely the funniest.  Enjoy!

Cheers!

VIDEO OF THE WEEK #4

SIR MIX A LOT - POSSE ON BROADWAY

In 1988 this was the shit.  In 2008 this is the shit.  Congrats on 20 years of being fresh Mix-A-Lot.  I have to think that when this song came out everyone in Seattle was cranked!  Personally, I would like to kick it with Larry.   Holler at me buddy!

Cheers,

THE SYSTEM - YOU ARE IN MY SYSTEM

This track is so 1983 fresh.  I play this every once and a while on a loop cause the synths and the drum at the beginning are raw!   That is my uncle Pete on keys.

DOC BOX AND B. FRESH - SLOW LOVE

I had no idea there was a video for this song, but i put it on my Valentine's Day Mix (see other post.)  It is a pretty silly track. I like when he gives a shout out to LL Cool J, and says "love me down to the bass..." I am going to use that one.

Cheers!

VIDEO OF THE WEEK #3 (LEARN TO DISCO EDITION)

I love old disco stuff. I think it is amazing.

Sometimes I wonder if I was born a DJ at the wrong time, but I suppose that if I were to have lived in the "Disco Era" I probably wouldn't have the same affinity towards it now. Anyway, those of you who know me  for any extended amount of time know that I have been slipping disco and old school funk stuff into my sets for like 10 years now, and you also know I don't dance.   I decided to pay tribute to the freshness of disco with a little German "how-to" clip and one of the dopest cuts of all time.  So please, watch the video. Learn from it.

Next time I play some Brothers Johnson you can get down in an appropriate manner.
