Bob your head…
Zapp and Roger….I could go on for days. Their is not an artist that can take credit for creating a song that invokes movement like this.

Play “More Bounce” just about anywhere and every person within earshot bobs their head uncontrollably. Black folks certainly know what I’m talking about….this song just has the recipe. These guys mastered the autotune long before TPain.
I so want to throw a keg party on the 3rd floor of a triple decker right now….bring on Turkey Day!!
Give Ray a shot….
In my opinion, Ray LaMontagne is going to end up as one of the finest American songwriters of this generation. His body of work hasn’t caught up to the likes of Dylan or Taylor, but given his creativity to this point, it’s completely feasible we …
Skills…
Guru (Keith Elam) was one of the best rappers to ever come out of Boston. He had a distinct raspy voice with a smooth delivery that made him unique.

But you just have to love those who put it into music. An entire cross section of the music industry would be gone if these people didn’t write about it.
Here’s one of my favorites from a couple of Dot Rats…..catchy tune….and funny!

By the cover….
Sitting around watching Jersey Shore last night….I was trying to think of a new section for the site. My late brother had this ability to size up a person that was downright scary. He could study you and in a matter minutes cut right to …
