PR(&B)OGRESS

January 21, 2009 – 10:30 am
It’s the morning after one of the biggest and most celebrated days in America’s history. The inauguration parties may all be over. But this was not an event whose significance will soon be forgotten, nor is it a story that ends when the confetti gets swept up. No, no…All that was just […]

Just Say “I Gotsta Get Me Some” (Then Go Get You Some… At the Recca-Sto’)

July 30, 2008 – 10:51 am
Yesterday I bigged up Blueprint for sampling classic Soul. Today I’ve gotta give it up to some folks who are recreating that vintage Soul sound the old fashioned way. Yeah, I know, the whole retro-Soul thing is like the biggest fad of the last two years and everything. But being the ubiquitous […]
