Suggie Otis’s album entitled Inspiration Information is horribly underrated. Please pick it up from your local bodega.Â
I choose the song Island Letter. This song conveys the emptiness left when someone comes in to your life and leaves; along with the feelings associated with the thought of their return. Thanks zedek3147 for the post.
The last couple of songs I have posted have been…
well not like this one. Anyone remember this jam? Thanks to nuruposter for posting this video.
i would go back and watch this live.Â
I found this video about six months ago. I was amazed at how effortlessly a young Hector Lavoe threw down the vocals. Willie Colon is also on the trombone! This video is a piece of history. Please be patient…the quality is a bit choppy at the beginning, but it gets better. Thanks to jnyc101 for posting this.

Watch Gilberto and Bebel Gilberto perform Diga live. This has always been one of my favorite youtube videos.  Down some vino while you take this one in.
According to his youtube page Paul Cooke was the first drummer for Sade and help write all of the songs on the 1984 Diamond Life album. He recently published some rare footage from his time with the band. Below is one of the amazing videos he has on his site.Â
Mr Cooke indtroduces the video as follows:
This is a my last gig with the band after we recorded the album Diamond Life, note the perfect time keeping but not so perfect vocal from a fledgling singer. I love the guy whistling in the background:) peace Paul Cooke
I highly reccomend you check out the rest of video his collection.
Groove Theory’s Amel Larrieux and SweetBack, best known for their work with Sade, killed it on this one. This joint is both relaxing and inspiring. Don’t sleep!
While sipping on some Lagavulin 16 I stumbled upon this remake of a Marvin Gaye classic. It proved itself to be a righteous complent to a relaxing evening.Â
Watching old music on youtube is a common pass time of mine. Going forward I plan to highlight some of the hot fire that I come across. Here is the first of many…
Behold a performance by Heatwave. We all know this song; it always and forever will need no introduction.
It is often said, “There are 10 types of people; those who know how to count in binary and those who don’t.â€Â Well depending on which type you are the game I created will either be a fun way to learn or an addictive way to pass the time. I wrote a game using Flex 2 that gives players a chance to see how many numbers they can convert from base 10 to base 2 in 60 seconds. Note the cool binary timer in the upper left hand corner. It is a stand alone component that extends mx.controls.Label. As always I have included the source with this post.
Happy Gaming
