powered by ODEO

Sunday Night Jam Sessions

i when i originally set out to do this podcsat i had no real idea why i was doing it, other than ebcause i just love music. but after reveling in victory for my preferred candidate i realized i play the music publically because i want to see a change in the way music is treated in this country. there is no music in most public schools anymore, there are very few independant radio stations, and that which is on the air is heavily regulated, and now they even want to make you pay for internet radio; the last domain of freedom of artistic expression. there is no other way other than sheer curiosity that will expose us, or our children, to the rich history and liberating power of music. so what initially started as a project to help build everyone's musical library, has built itself into the fight for our right to regain access to the worlds greatest musicians. so that's why i'm here. fighting the establishment and playing what i want, royalty free, and always standing up for the little guy.
ok i'm off my soapbox.
i really do it cuz i love the music.
stay green.

entering ==>08

On the menu tonight:
The White Stripes
Tami Lynn
Janis Joplin
Stephen Marley and Ben Harper
Bobby McFerrin

powered by ODEO

Sunday Night Jam Sessions

The craziness of this jam session just shows the craziness entering into a new year. We've had a typhoon in the Bay, everybody got strep and overall it seems a gigantic weight has been lifted off everybody's shoulders as we get a fresh new start. I suspect it's been like that all over the world. So happy new year from V to You. Let's get it started

***

So I had to rack my brain feverish to come up with a top 10 list for 07, and well, I couldn't. There were so many dope albums of so many different types that I figured I'd put down my list of favorite albums from 07. They are in order of favorite so I suppose there is a top 10 and everyone else is an honorable mention, but i think i love them equally for different reasons. Overall it was a great year for rock and alternative, not so hot for hip hop. What would be awsome is if you could post your top 10 of 07, and we can compare notes. You know there's no rules to the jam session, just play what you love.

Albums of 2007:

Mos Def: True Magic (hey it came out Dec. 29 2006, it's counts as 07 airplay)
The Noisettes: What's The Time Mr. Wolf?
Amy Winehouse: Back to Black (2006 release)
The White Stripes: Icky Thump
Stephen Marley: Mind Control
Pharoah Monch: Desire
Dan The Automator Presents 2K7 (2006 release)
Betty Davis: re-release
Mark Ronson: Version (strait sleeper)
Ben Harper: Lifeline
Ali Farka Toure: Savane (2006 release)
RJD2: The Third Hand
Prince: Planet Earth
Arctic Monkeys: Whatever People Say I am, That's What I'm Not
Lily Allen: Alright Still (2006 release)
Babel Gilberto: Momento
J-Dilla: Ruff Draft
Saul Williams: The Inevitable Rise and Liberation of Niggy Tardust!
Feist: The Reminder
Death Proof Soundtrack

play what you love.
