The Background Flow: Episode 1
March 1, 2006

I was at home, trying to work and need to put together a dope playlist that bumped like a mutha, but didn't distract me from my tasks. What I did was put together a series of playlists totally made up of instrumental beats. They're all smooth and should keep you noddin'. Enjoy... Let the flow begin!!!

BIG THINGS from the Dayz Of Wayback
February 06, 2006

Recently, I realized that i've been doing this radio blog / podcast style records for about 15 years. Back my college days, my boy in LA had a pirate radio station. So he asked a bunch of us to provide some programming. I did a the DJ La-DI Tee show, which was pretty much the same show as BIG THINGS, just a little more rough. I'd sneak into a small studio we had near the radio station and I'd record my own shows to send for airplay. I had a small following for a hot minute... my 15 minutes of fame.
The group of files below are all that's left of my collection. I believe i did clost to 50 shows between 1990 and 1995, but most of them were damaged on cassette tape or mistakenly taped over. So take a listen and let me know what you think. Keep in mind these are off of tape and the quality in some areas is pretty bad. I keep marveling at my musical choices. A lot of these song i never really thought of again until i heard these shows. In any case. Enjoy the silliness.... The DJ La-Di Tee Show #1 (SIDE A) stream / download

My Top 25 Songs Of 2005: Better Late Than Never
January 9, 2005

After much debate and soul searching, I've finally got together my 25 songs of 2005. This was kinda difficult; mainly because there was more than one song from artist who I normaly don't listen to. I'm not the biggest Kanye West fan, yet "Late", along with The Game's "Dreams" couldn't be denied as definite bangers. Mariah Carey hasn't been on my radar since "Vision Of Love", yet "Fly Like A Bird" has been deep inside my head for a while now. I refuse to even SAY the words G-G-G-G UNIT!!! But the boyz over at CookinSoul.com remixed "Stunt 101" so hot, it stayed in Heavy Rotation!
