Uncle Sam Goddamn

Brother Ali is controversial to some people. I've heard people argue whether he was black, white or Albino. I always thought, "why care about that?". Pigeonholing people based upon color or race without focusing on the individuals ideas is ignorant

Ignorant is something Brother Ali is not and he is full of ideas to ponder He knows enough U.S. and world history to carry on coherent raps in a reality based sense that is not the candy coated version that is spoon fed to kids in school. He seems to be putting into words what should be obvious to American voters and children alike regarding the game that is being played against them by the powers that be. Wake up America!

Listen to Brother Ali lay it down with glaring reality. It's a public service announcement to not drink the Cool-Aid. His opening words to his classic song titled Uncle Sam Goddamn: "Welcome to the United Snakes, Home of the thief, Home of the slave..." is how he starts off the beginning of his portrayal of a flawed electorate and the related truths of U.S. Government Policy and raps down layers of tongue lashings at the government as well as the voter.

Check out other provocative songs with the word "Goddamn" in the title and one will find Brother Ali borrowed ideas for Uncle Sam Goddamn from Nina Simone. He even borrowed the line: "A show tune, but the show hasn't been written for it yet." Simone's song titled Mississippi Goddamn was written by her in 1964 as a protest song that was banned in several southern states.

Saucy Monky's latest thing.... the Living Room Sessions

Saucy Monky is... (Left to Right) Drummer Megan Carchman, Annmarie Cullen, Bassist Steve Giles, Cynthia Catania)

From the first time I heard Saucy Monky around 2003, the group became one of my favorites. The now West Hollywood based garage pop group, which also spends much time in Ireland where they have a solid following, is fronted by two very beautiful singer/songwriter/guitarists: Annmarie Cullen and Cynthia Catania. They have seamlessly changed up an interestingly cool array of bassists and drummers in the last decade. Saucy Monky is one of those bands that makes a small packed venue feel exciting song after song where nobody wants the night to end.

Recently, the group began recording some scaled down live recordings from a living room with dim lighting and no amps which they call their "Living Room Sessions". It is a definite departure from their cranked up poppin' sound. The song below is a sweet one titled 4:47. It's laced with the same tasty lines, harmonies and use of dynamics the band is known for on their jacked up recordings and it's lovely. Enjoy!

Remembering Amy Winehouse

As someone who has scoured the Internet for every conceivable Amy Winehouse recording and video ever made, I can say this first video below is the coolest recording of Love Is A Losing Game. It's just Amy and a microphone backed only by a keyboard player on a Fender Rhodes. This song sounds like an old standard, but it's an Amy Winehouse original. Enjoy!

Ziggy Marley - Wild And Free (Featuring Woody Harrelson)

This should be the theme song for those who want to lift the ludicrous federal ban on industrial hemp in the United States. When the album was released, it was used for California's Proposition 19 campaign to legalize recreational marijuana, which ultimately and unfortunately did not pass. But, a big thank you to Ziggy Marley for the effort and the song!

If you would like the federal government to lift the industrial hemp ban through the recently reintroduced Industrial Hemp Farming Act of 2013, please call your U.S. Senators and demand they support S. 359 and call your Congressional rep in the U.S. House of Representatives and demand that they support H.R. 525 (the companion measure to S. 359 in the House of Representatives), which has been referred to two House Committees for additional consideration.

Mavis, with The Staple Singers or on her own, is one of my personal favorite artists ever. Shot this photo of Mavis performing at a live show that full of major funk augmented with high gospel.



Here is a classic Mavis Staples performance that may be unknown to many. A rare gem of music with deep meaning.

Mavis Staples - Keep Your Eye on The Prize

A classic by Carlos Santana & Friends

It seriously is hard to get any off any more than this. Right? This is as real as real gets in rock & roll. They were not behind the times one little bit in 1969 with regards to music, how put on and record & film great concerts. Wow! Stellar footage from a great moment in time that still exists when Carlos Santana plays. Catch him if you can!

Lady - Get Ready

The U.K. based soul/R&B duo known as "Lady" features vocalists Nicole Wray and Terri Walker

Loving the soulful duo out of the U.K. known as "Lady". First posted their song titled Get Ready on Music Television early last month and I immediately bought the song download. After playing it at least a thousand times or more, I still love it! Don't typically repost songs already on MusicTelevision.Com right here, but hope everyone loves the classic old school energy Nicole Wray and Terri Walker put into this. It grooves for days. Definitely, this is R&B music at it's finest.

Nneka - Focus (live featuring Babatunde)

Photo of Nneka by Elodie Janot at ElodieJanot.Com

Originally from Nneka's fantastically substantive album titled Concrete Jungle, the song in the live concert film featured below features Nneka performing her song titled Focus, in Europe with Nigerian rapper Babatunde. This is an amazing performance!  The rap of lyrical substance is stunningly syncopated to perfection.

Nneka is one of the most inspired global artists of depth on the scene today. She stumps hard for the people of her native Nigeria, and always has truth, justice and love in her heart for all around the world, especially the less fortunate. Study her lyrics to this song below and know her other songs are equally as passionate and heavy if you have not yet heard.

Focus Songwriters: Pinheiro Da Silva, Nneka Lucia Egbuna, Farhad Samadzada
Lyrics: *Babatunde added some lyrics of his own which are missing below

Government politics, system policies,
Money, banks, foundation and discoveries
Mischievious and self centered development strategies,
Uneffective enough not to affect the physics and the spirits of mankind
In short and infact where do we go from here when we lack love in our hearts
When we lack an open heart and lie to ourselves and the one that truly loves, that we love
Truly we don't really give a fuck
Another day has passed my conscience is hunting me one small form
E to face this next temptation that is coming up now
The flesh has overcome the spirit, eyes opened but shot, sight blurred
Can't see the road because I am scarred of the lights
I gotta go on, I gotta move on, we gotta go on, we gotta move on
Cause if you don't search for the truth your soul will definitely remain undone

Chorus
Maintain your Focus
The misery is all around you
The misery, the envy
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world
Maintain your mind, see

Is it the drugs? Is it the men? Is it the money? Is it the fame?
Do not need all this to find myself
Have met my shadow a thousand times
I know how it feels to be untrue to oneself
See would you hold back the things that urged you to speak your mind?
Living in the bondage, in if clauses for the rest of your life
You want to lie in systems custody, your soul strip for free
Living in the bondage, in if clauses for the rest of your life
You want to lie in system custody, your soul strip for free

Will you sell your soul for free?

Maintain your Focus
The misery is all around you
The jealousy, the envy
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world
Maintain your mind

Maintain your Focus
The poverty is all around you
The misery and envy
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world

Bridge
Temptations of this world
You see the demons coming out of you
They reveal themselves to you and yes you can see your truth

Oh no no, got to maintain your mind
In this world of pain
In this world of sin
In this world of hate

Maintain your Focus
The misery is all around you
The misery
It is hard staying away from the temptations of the world
Maintain your mind, see

Totally digging this song and video. Thanks to to Maddie Oatman and her piece on Mother Jones for the turn on. It's Yummy. Dug around and found there are many good live takes of the following song that are almost better than the official music video, because the artist can sing live. Hopefully RCA Records, who deserves good credit, will hang in there and work this artist until she grabs a deep hold in the marketplace.

Gaby Moreno - Ave que Emigra (Music Video)

All of Gaby Moreno's songs are beautiful and special. But this became one of my most favorite songs by Gaby Moreno after I heard her explain to the non Spanish speaking people in her audience one night at Cafe Largo, what the song meant to her. The Spanish title, Ave que Emigra, means Bird That Migrates in English

Gaby is from Guatemala and migrated to America to continue to pursue her craft as a singer, songwriter and recording artist. The song sung in Spanish, and text in English just below, is especially beautiful when considering the story of her own life and that of others who have the dream. Enjoy!

I come from very far away
looking for the blue of the sky
following predicaments I come from very far away

Memories from my childhood that sometimes
leave the soul My Guatemala never forgot.
carried always with me

Tired from running
in times of hunting lifted high
in my flight like a bird that migrates

I come from very far away
looking for the blue of the sky
following predicaments I come from very far away

And how one is clinging to
a piece of land sooner or
later comes the air Burns without truce

Tired from running in
times of hunting lifted high
in my flight like a bird that migrates

Ultimate Valentines Day Song

If you ever liked Jody Watley or Prince, you will like this. The artist known as Goapele has a song with that sexy "it" thing and you'll want to play it on repeat to set the stage for sexy romance. It is a club mix, designed for a sound system that moves a lot of air. It sounds great on most headphones, but many speakers won't be able to handle to the depth of the bass frequencies, but try to find that sweet spot on the volume knob/EQ and blast off anyway.
