Steely Dan

MusicLoad presents Steely Dan - Countdown to Ecstasy

When I was a 10 years old, I asked for this record for a birthday or Christmas and my great grandmother went to the store to buy it and changed her mind. She told my mother that the album cover contained pornography. When I heard that I wasn't getting that record and nobody would tell me what pornography was, I really wanted to have that record even more. I collected enough pop bottles to trade in to buy that record, and became addicted to this obscure form of pornography known as Steely Dan. This song is just one of my favorites on the record. In fact I love them all and could scat every riff, as a kid, and still can. This record went a long way toward shaping my love for music. gc

Oumou Sangaré'

Oumou Sangaré' of the Republic of Mali in Africa takes me to another dimension when I turn it up, close my eyes and lay back. The music is authentic, resonating something deeply soulful and might just provide psychic restoration if that's what you need.

Political Rap: Sly w/Dank Studios vs. King Solomon

In 2008, Rap artist King Solomon banged out his track from his Big Picture record entitled Ron Paul 2008. With Miles Davis/Dizzie style horns and some early Stevie Moog bass pumpin', King Solomon rips nearly all politicians a new one, saying it exactly the way it is in his mind.



Fast forward to 2012 and we have another rapper known as Sly and his track for Ron Paul 2012. Sly talks a little more issues based substance and no slamming the other candidates.

Juliette Lewis - Terra Incognita

MusicLoad presents Juliette Lewis and the music video for her song titled Terra Incognita

Some supposed music pundits are hard on Juliette Lewis, but I think she deserves credit. She really fucking rocks. There is authenticity and genuine emotions of love and rage and everything in between when she performs. Her videos are pretty badass too. GC

Rest In Peace Etta James

Very sad to have to say, Rest in Peace Etta James. She was one of the greatest and most under rated soul singers, ever.

Etta James, in her own words: "I wanted to be rare, I wanted to be noticed, I wanted to be exotic as a Cotton Club chorus girl, and I wanted to be obvious as the most flamboyant hooker on the street. I just wanted to be."
