Somebody hand me some Kleenex, please. Between chills, fevers, headaches, and
working from bed on my sick days, it’s been a little slow around here. So let’s
see if I can get it all out of my system here…..

In
Rotation: August 6, 2005.

Todd Kelley had
brought up the fact that he wasn’t very familiar with house music, so I went ahead and
started the flow to some mellow cuts in the house genre:

01 – Mr. Fingers – Survivor. Surely people have heard of Mr. Larry
Heard?
02 – Sunburst Band – Far Beyond. Yes, I’m still on a Sunburst Band
kick.
03 – Roy Davis Jr. – Slow It Down (For The Steppers). A great album
from last year, Chicago Forever.

But then I felt a little European flow going down, as is normal as
I’m recovering:
04 – Don-E – Bus Stop. Again from London Soul.
05 – Break Reform – It’s Love. From their new album Reformation.

Putting in a little soul, here after slowing it down:
06 – Angela Johnson – All I Need.
07 – Conya Doss – Here We Go Again.
08 – Sy Smith – Love And Such. Yep, more good stuff. Sy Smith is some
good stuff. Just ask Honey
and Stone.
09 – Vanessa Freeman – Shades.
10 – Jully Black – Stay the Night. Special shoutout to my man, Cannon
NYC.
11 – D’Nell – 1st Magic Groove.

Since 1st Magic Groove has spoken word, I felt it fitting to finish
it off with a little hip-hop.
12 – Goapele – Go Find A Way (Kanye West Remix). Obi
From South London dropped this track. Check him out, people. Hats off to
him.
13 – People Under the Stairs – Back on the Block (Thes One). From Step
Off The Frankfurter.
14 – Kanye West – Improvise. Waiting patiently for Late
Registration.

Enjoy it all. Better late than never, and the weekend’s not over yet. I need to play catch-up.
