Records at Random Vol. 66 - Grover Washington Jr. Feels So Good

September 12, 2008 – 1:13 pm
It’s Friday morning and I’m still awake after pulling an all-nighter. After recording this week’s episode of my Urban Alternatives podcast with Emeyesi last night I stayed up.

Records at Random Vol. 55 - The Temptations A Song For You

June 6, 2008 – 10:46 am
I started the week on Monday with a post about a group called the Boom Clap Bachelors. And now I’m capping it off with a Friday Records at Random entry on a platter featuring a standout cut titled “I’m a Bachelor.” Coincidence, you ask? Well, let me assure you that if my life […]
