Here’s hoping you and yours are enjoying the Holidays…

Afromantically Inclined

There is this awesome thing that women can do. Well..maybe I shouldn’t call it a thing. Perhaps, a..umm…talent? Yes, that sounds better. There is an awesome talent that women possess. I call it the “Feminine Duality Reverse Dichotomy”. Women just out-and-out have an uncanny ability to be feminine, graceful and sensuous; yet just as lusty, virile and powerful as any of their male counterparts. All at the same time. And woe be unto those, male or female, that cause a woman to use this powerful ability in a vengeful, spiteful manner as retaliation for their callous actions. It is one of the greatest and oldest mysteries known in this life. How can two exact opposites be embodied within one space and not spontaneously combust, taking half a city block along with it? 

Good Music For The Free | Bandcamp Edition

Back again for another roundup of musical finds worth listening to and even allowing to take up precious space on your hard drive. This time around, TSR is taking a look at some FREE. 99 Albums, EP’s and Singles we’ve found on Bandcamp.

A Dish Best Served Eclectic…

When one is blessed with a vocal instrument of this magnitude, that yearns to be released into the world “By Any Means Necessary” (hence the new LP’s cover / Malcolm X homage), it cannot be contained within the limiting confines of a traditional music thesis.

No, talent of this measure needs room to expand, breathe even. It craves vast expanses of unhindered audio to romp around in, intentionally stepping on the toes of those not smart enough to move when it was first spotted heading in their general direction. A voice of this kind can and will burn the insignificant with its radiance like a bad little kid with a magnifying glass, a blazing sun at it’s back, an ant hill in front and nothing more constructive to do.

A Negro Jig Of The Genuine Kind

String Band circa 1900

I am in no way, shape or form a stranger to Bluegrass Music. When your upbringing places you smack dab in the very heart of Western North Carolina; Asheville to be exact, you become more than aware of Bluegrass at a very early age.
Now before you click the other tab and go back to Bookface, Twitter or that new prOn site you just found, give eyes and ears to what I’m about to lay down for you…

Good Music 4 The Low-Low | Economical Edition

In today’s world of financial stress, the last thing in the world a true music lover really wants is to plunk down their hard-earned dinero for an LP that turns out later to have a “Bad Ratio“.

For Some, #massappeal Isn’t Really That #hardtoearn

 

take God is Universal; he is the Ruler Universal for example. With a style and voice all his own. Leading the way with verbal truth and wisdom, teaching the youth that paid attention, that there was way more to life, through music…

New Amerykah Part Two | Original Samples

TSR is loving this album. Point blank. Period.

With that now said, we won’t be doing an actual “Album Review” of it.
