Here is a remix of Billie Holiday's "Crazy He Calls Me" ,  uploaded to Youtube for your listening and sharing pleasure...

Smooth.

Smooth stones are awesome.

Fatal Flying Guillotine.

I found this choice quote from a user on Amazon.com talking about this film:  

"Firstly, let me say that this is a terrible film. Be under no illusions, it is really terrible. The picture quality is poor, the acting atrocious, the fight scenes turgid, the special effects primitive, the plot impenetrable."

I think it goes without saying, this is a film for all to cherish.  I have not seen it yet, but will be watching sooner than later!  I thought of the name because of the classic line from Wu Tang Clan Ain't Nuthin to F' Wit' :  'fatal flying guillotine chops off your fuckin head!' , pure class RZA!!  This beat has a Wu-Tang ish feel, kind of....

Drama.

Today we're going to talk about drama. No, not a made for TV movie starring Richard Karn and Roseanne Arnold, which incidentally would be more of a comedrama (com - ma - drama), but rather music I created for a TV series library a few years back.  The file names are pretty arbitrary but you'll understand when you hear the music.....

Desiderata.

Some words of inspiration today, words which resonate with me personally and I think all of us can take something from. This was scanned from the inner sleeve of Frankie Beverly & Maze - Self Titled LP (a classic record).  Follow this link to get the text version: Desiderata text .  To keep this post music related, recording artist Les Crane released an LP entitled 'Desiderata' in 1972, and it has some very nice drum breaks on it. His rendition of the poem comes off as pretty cheesy, but listen these drums from another track:

It's A New Day.

I put together a collection of photos to go along with my remix I posted a couple days ago, and now it is on Youtube for your listening (and viewing) pleasure.

It's A New Day

You Know How I Feel.

"It's a new dawn, it's a new day".......  Remix I created for Nina Simone's song "Feeling Good" , this one is from 2004.  Please listen and check out my Soundcloud page (where it is hosted) and give some feedback.
