IN BUSINESS FOR OVER 40 YEARS, JIM RUSSEL HAS SEEN THE LIKES OF ERYKAH BADU, DR. JOHN, EDDIE BO, LIL' WAYNE, DJ JUBILEE & MASTER P COME THROUGH AND PATRONIZE THE STORE. THE RELAXED ATMOSPHERE IS GREAT FOR MUSIC LOVERS THAT JUST WANT TO TAKE THEIR TIME AND PERUSE THE ENDLESS AMOUNT OF VINYL ON THE SHELVES. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;">UNFORTUNATELY, THE ECONOMY HAS TAKEN IT'S TOLL ON THE ONCE THRIVING STORE AND BILLS FROM HURRICANE DAMAGE HAVE FORCED THE STORE TO "TIGHTEN IT'S BELT". UPON MY VISIT TODAY TO THE FAMOUS MUSIQUARIUM, I TOOK THE TIME TO BUY SOME RECORDS AND CHAT WITH THE OPERATOR OF THE ESTABLISHMENT AND HER DAUGHTER. SHE EXPLAINED THAT BILLS AND LACK OF CUSTOMERS HAVE REALLY PUSHED THE STORE IN THE RED. SHE SAID THAT I WAS PROBABLY HER 3RD CUSTOMER OF THE DAY AND THAT IT WAS CUSTOMERS LIKE MYSELF THAT COME BY, BUT DON'T COME TOO OFTEN. </span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;">I APOLOGIZED BECAUSE I KNOW THAT MOST PEOPLE ARE DOWNLOADING AND BUYING THEIR MUSIC FROM OTHER OUTLETS...i,e..BEST BUY, WAL-MART OR EVEN ITUNES. NOBODY IS SUPPORTING THE MOM & POP STORES ANYMORE AND BECAUSE THE NUMBER OF TRUE MUSIC LOVERS IS DWINDLING, THESE STORES HAVE A HARD TIME TRYING TO COMPETE WITH THE MAJOR STORE CHAINS.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;"></span><br /><br /><span style="font-family:verdana;color:#3333ff;">SO, I IMPLORE AND STRONGLY SUGGEST NUMBER ONE TO PLEASE SUPPORT MOM & POP STORES SO THAT THEY MAY CONTINUE TO THRIVE.

The forecast predicticted scattered showers and thunderstorms and on Friday afternoon, it seemed to be holding up. Then came Friday night's monsunal pour. At any rate, it was a great weekend for me as far as gigging. I had three gigs and they all went well in addition to other things. Attached is this week's forecast.

There’s a difference.”<br />For most of his life, Anthony Bryant has been able to elude any kind of emotional attachments with the deftness of a running back avoiding tackle. But when he meets Natalie, the alluring friend of the woman he is currently seeing, it’s a struggle to resist the magnetic pull she has on him. She’s sexy, funny, and shares his love ’em and leave ’em philosophy. She also brings about feelings in him he hasn’t known since he was a child when jealousy, betrayal, insanity, and murder tore his family apart. Will Anthony be able to overcome his long-buried demons and experience love for the first time in his life or will it destroy him the way he has seen it happen to loved ones before?</p><p>Told in Anthony’s words to the new woman in his life, follow the story of a young man trying to do what few men attempt: To explain to his woman why he is the way he is.</p><p>Brian's novel is available at amazon, target and other major bookstores. Please support Brian in his endeavor to provide great reading material. Brian is currently working on several other novels including one that will be a tag-team effort with me, J-Finesse!!!</p><p>http://www.target.com/gp/detail.html/187-3449240-1020227?asin=0595442447&afid=yahoosspplp_bmvd&lnm=0595442447%7CStay_:_Books&ref=tgt_adv_XSNG1060<br /></p><p></p></span></div></div>J-FINESSEMUSIQUARIUMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165399410764417745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547189426460085710.post-50711920402832629902009-03-24T14:25:00.000-07:002009-03-24T16:16:10.334-07:00The Connect - 808's & Bette Midler<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK8VtUtSaPmWYqLaq5vdsKEwN8SzE1mVBx4PeEuCi67LtRpYzkvqD6FzKcUrsg9NH6mPlmGLYfOMJXIzxLrshX0n1Un-1KMNNPqG9Q2gDtRrun6f0H5GPmsQbHv6XmDmf1WgwxLEe6Nyc/s1600-h/kanye-west-104.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgK8VtUtSaPmWYqLaq5vdsKEwN8SzE1mVBx4PeEuCi67LtRpYzkvqD6FzKcUrsg9NH6mPlmGLYfOMJXIzxLrshX0n1Un-1KMNNPqG9Q2gDtRrun6f0H5GPmsQbHv6XmDmf1WgwxLEe6Nyc/s320/kanye-west-104.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5316895972374044370" /></a><br />You love him...sometimes.

The Debut<div>One of the more creative aspects of music is reinvention. A skilled artisan can take something old, an eight bar loop, and turn it into something new to be loved by a different audience. The last part of that statement is an interesting one. How many times have we heard a song and went "What a great sample. Who is that?" Only, the answer is usually a shoulder shrug and an "I don't know." That's a shame. Here at THE MUSIQUARIUM, we're trying to bridge that gap. So every week, I'm going to highlight a few old school artists whose music yo've probably heard time and time again, but just couldn't put a name to the beat.

Well, whatever one chooses whether it be good or bad, everyone can agree that the brother is talented. Me personally, I enjoyed all of his music. I have followed him through the highs and the <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">lo's</span>, through his kid years to his young adult years and unto his status now. Many years later his music still shines through, which is evident by the enormous catalog this man possesses. Once again, I stumbled across a rare gem while shopping at the local "Wax-N-Fax" in little 5 points. This particular album was one of the solo projects that Motown released before cutting Michael and his brothers loose from the then fledgling <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">record</span> company. Amid all of the legal turmoil that the group was enduring at the time, Michael was able to release a gem of an album with "Forever, Michael". One can automatically sense that Michael was going through puberty as his voice changes between songs throughout the entire album. This album was a nice mix of mid-tempo grooves and sentimental slow jams. However, one particular cut that stood out to me was the track, "Dear Michael". Dear Michael is about a hopeful fan who is so in love with Michael that even though he receives many letters and no matter how many times she writes him she believes that one day he would read the letter.<br /><br />All in all, it was such a groovy track that I immediately had to put my touches on it.....all out of due respect that is . Attached is both the original and my version of the song that will be released on my upcoming beat <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">cd</span> entitled "The Nod Factor". I hope you enjoy!!!<br /><br /><br /><br />Finesse<br />Dear Michael - Michael Jackson<br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist"><param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6381185-f91" /><embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6381185-f91" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div>We Miss You Michael - J-Finesse<br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist"><param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6381188-9ba"><embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6381188-9ba" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object></span></div>J-FINESSEMUSIQUARIUMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165399410764417745noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547189426460085710.post-7446821718068236382009-01-11T10:40:00.000-08:002009-01-22T23:01:15.835-08:00SADE'S MANSION!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyioX8cvJG88ONPRuKNC58Xo56EZY0sDUpWHt6wWnSxLdaMUxkdqhjbMXlD3ffW9FdjqKn-n0Tg6yayPx0kx_3bYndrmwCXMPxYVVeDfgYBZQSJN7J6of8l7W8HpIVM8FPJsIGJHeMqBU/s1600-h/sade_2006_240x180.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5290119469380264402" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 180px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyioX8cvJG88ONPRuKNC58Xo56EZY0sDUpWHt6wWnSxLdaMUxkdqhjbMXlD3ffW9FdjqKn-n0Tg6yayPx0kx_3bYndrmwCXMPxYVVeDfgYBZQSJN7J6of8l7W8HpIVM8FPJsIGJHeMqBU/s400/sade_2006_240x180.jpg" border="0" /></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">When Sade first came on the recording scene in the '80s, her record company, Epic, made a point of printing "pronounced shar-day" after her name on the record labels of her releases. Soon enough the world would have no problem in correctly pronouncing her name. Born </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:HELENFOLASADEADU"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Helen Folasade Adu</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> in Ibadan, Nigeria, about 50 miles from Lagos, she was the daughter of an African father and an English mother. After her mother returned to England, Sade grew up on the North End of London. Developing a good singing voice in her teens, Sade worked part-time jobs in and outside of the music business. She listened to </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:kifuxqw5ldfe"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Ray Charles</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wifrxqw5ldhe"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Nina Simone</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:gifpxqe5ld0e"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Al Green</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:jifpxqe5ldke"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Aretha Franklin</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, and </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:BILLIEHOLLIDAY"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Billie Holliday</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">. Sade studied fashion design at St. Martin's School of Art in London while also doing some modeling on the side. Around 1980, she started singing harmony with a Latin funk group called </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:ARRIVA"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Arriva</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">. One of the more popular numbers that the group would perform was a Sade original co-written with bandmember </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:RAYST.JOHN"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Ray St. John</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, "Smooth Operator," that would later become </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:SADE\"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Sade's</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> first stateside hit. The following year she joined the eight-piece funk band </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:PRIDE"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Pride</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> as a background singer.

The concept of the group was that there could shoot-offs. In essence, a few members within the main group </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:PRIDE"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Pride</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> formed mini-groups that would be the opening act. </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:PRIDE"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Pride</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> did a lot of shows around London, stirring up record company interest. Initially, the labels wanted to only sign Sade, while the group members wanted a deal for the whole band. After a year, the other band members told Sade, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:MATTHEWMAN"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Matthewman</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, and </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:DENMAN"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Denman</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> to go ahead and sign a deal. Adding keyboardist </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:wnfpxqw5ld0e"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Andrew Hale</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, the group signed to the U.K. division of Epic Records. Her debut album, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:w9frxqy5ldje"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Diamond Life</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> (with overall production by </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:aifoxqrgldfe"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Robin Millar</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">), went Top Ten in the U.K. in late 1984. January 1985 saw the album released on CBS' Portrait label and by spring it went platinum off the strength of the Top Ten singles "Smooth Operator" and "Hang on to Your Love." Her second album, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:3ifrxqu5ldhe"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Promise</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> (November 1985), featured "Never As Good As the First Time" and arguably her signature song, "The Sweetest Taboo," which stayed on the U.S. pop charts for six months. Sade was so popular that some radio stations reinstated the '70s practice of playing album tracks, adding "Is It a Crime" and "Tar Baby" to their play lists. In 1986, Sade won a Grammy for Best New Artist.Sade's third album was 1988's </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:d9ftxqy5ldje"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Stronger Than Pride</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> and featured her first number one soul single "Paradise," "Nothing Can Come Between Us," and "Keep Looking." A new Sade album didn't appear for four years. 1992's </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=10:hcfqxq85ldje"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Love Deluxe</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> continued the unbroken streak of multi-platinum Sade albums, spinning off the hits "No Ordinary Love," "Feel No Pain," and "Pearls." While the album's producer </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:h9fixqwgldje"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Mike Pela</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:MATTHEWMAN"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Matthewman</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=1:DENMAN"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Denman</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">, and </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=11:h9foxqt5ldke"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Hale</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> have gone on to other projects. The new millennium did spark a new scene for Sade. She issued </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:LOVERSROCK"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Lovers Rock</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;"> in fall 2000 and incoporated more mainstream elements than ever before. Debut single "By Your Side" was also a hit among radio and adult-contemporary listerners. The following summer, Sade embarked on her first tour in more than a decade, selling out countless dates across America. In early 2002, she celebrated the success of the tour by releasing her first ever live album and DVD, </span><a href="http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p=amg&sql=2:LOVERSLIVE"><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Lovers Live</span></a><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="font-family:arial;">. </span><br /></span><br /><p><span style="font-family:arial;color:#990000;">Nine years since her hiatus, Sade's music still lives through. What you are about to experience is my interpretation of her music in the form of "House Music". Attached is a mix that I did when her Lover's Rock album was out. Please enjoy!!!</span></p><p align="center"><span style="color:#990000;"><span style="font-family:Arial;">J-Finesse</span><br /><object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="335" height="28" id="divplaylist"><param name="movie" value="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6381308-af3" /><embed src="http://www.divshare.com/flash/playlist?myId=6381308-af3" width="335" height="28" name="divplaylist" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"></embed></object>J-FINESSEMUSIQUARIUMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18165399410764417745noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7547189426460085710.post-81242818601287186582008-12-16T22:14:00.000-08:002009-01-22T23:36:08.866-08:00Welcome To My House!!!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ54qwZWWTDueZPXJHArtK9gGWpRfQ30t7_hOoaTuqaDC9EbUFnBRZ0pQ_32EHD91IbD7jim0692N1VhUrz0uaLFek665phdr815G2XM0tKVdFwq-7RxsvdFrSDSD_OuZV40Kca0ObZXI/s1600-h/2597185988_828307cb40.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 266px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJ54qwZWWTDueZPXJHArtK9gGWpRfQ30t7_hOoaTuqaDC9EbUFnBRZ0pQ_32EHD91IbD7jim0692N1VhUrz0uaLFek665phdr815G2XM0tKVdFwq-7RxsvdFrSDSD_OuZV40Kca0ObZXI/s400/2597185988_828307cb40.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5280639498768409442" /></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);">WOW, IT HAS BEEN ALMOST 12 YEARS SINCE I LIVED IN CHICAGO. EVEN SO, I CAN STILL REMEMBER THE BLAST THAT I HAD IN THE "WINDY CITY" THANKS TO MY FRIENDS AND PLAY-COUSINS STEVEN & MARLON WHO BOTH TURNED ME ON TO OLD SCHOOL HOUSE CLASSICS. I REMEMBER LOVING THE PERCUSSION HEAVY TRACKS THAT WOULD CONJURE GREAT FEELINGS WHILE IN A HOUSE PARTY. YOU COULD DEFINITELY BET THAT YOU WERE COMING OUT OF THE PARTY SWEATY AND PURGED FREE OF ALL ILL FEELINGS. AT ANY RATE, PEOPLE DON'T DANCE ANYMORE AND FORSAKE THE ENERGY AND VIBES THAT THIS TYPE OF MUSIC CAN GIVE ONE. OVER THE PAST COUPLE OF YEARS I HAVE GOTTEN REQUESTS FOR OLD SCHOOL CHICAGO HOUSE MIXES. WELL THANKS TO A FRIEND OF MINE (TANJURIA) FROM CHICAGO'S SOUTH SIDE, I HAVE SOMETHING FOR YOU ALL. ATTACHED IS A TWO-PART MIX THAT WAS GIVEN TO ME A LONG TIME AGO. ENJOY!!!</span></span><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:'trebuchet ms';"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: rgb(51, 204, 255);"><br /></span></span></div><div
