[Audio] Greyboy with Bart Davenport · Genevieve


#BartDavenport #Genevieve  #Greyboy #SoulMosaic

The tracks crafted on the fourth  Grey boy album include groundbreaking territory for the Southern California based producer/DJ Bart Davenport . For the first time, he has recorded full vocal songs adding a new soulful dimension to his music. The trademark laid-back West Coast Greyboy beats remain central to #SoulMosaic

Vocalists like Bay Area underground favorite Bart Davenport formerly of The Kinetics and now a solo artist on Paris Caramel records sings on the two sold-out singles "To Know You is To Love You" and "Genevieve", cover versions of a Stevie Wonder tune (originally recorded by Syreeta) and Cymande respectively. "Genevieve" was nominated as one of the songs of the year by Radio 1's Worldwide host Gilles Peterson. East Coast-based Sharon Jones has made a storming come back with Daptone Records over recent years and also appears on two tracks. San Francisco up n'comer Bing Ji Ling adds a lil' Shuggie Otis folksy soul and guitar while MCs like Mainflo (TVT), and musicians and turntablists like D-Styles and Ricci Rucker (Sound In Color) maintain the hip hop pressure. Rounding out the mosaic are co-producers like the UK-based Quantic and West Coaster Mike Andrews, who recently had a hand in the Christmas #1 spot on the UK charts with a version of Tears For Fears "Mad World" from the Donnie Darko soundtrack.

#AfricanAmerican #BellHooks #Love #Respect  #WhereWeStand  #ClassMatters  "Love is a combination of six ingredients: care, commitment, knowledge, responsibility, respect and trust". Bell Hooks A writer, teacher and cultural critic, bell hooks is best known for her work examining systems of domination, especially racism and patriarchy, and how they may be overcome. She has published more than twenty books, including  Talking Back: Thinking Feminist, Thinking Black; Killing Rage: Ending Racism , and  Where We Stand: Class Matters . hooks says that uncovering and naming the forms of oppression in our society is an extension of her lifelong curiosity about love and her desire to see love manifested. “Perhaps the most common false assumption about love is that it means we will not be challenged or changed,” she once wrote in the Buddhist magazine   Shambhala Sun . “When I write provocative social and cultural criticism that causes readers to stretch the...

Texting and dating: One of the worst things you can do in a new relationship is text

#Relationship #CellPhone #Texting #Dating #Deathbytext #Textmessages #BlackMaleTherapist #Triple5Light.com #Couplestherapy Dating couples often make the mistake of #texting everything instead of talking on the phone or simply meeting in person. That's according to Claudia Duran, a Miami-based matchmaker with Elite Connections. Duran said the meaning of text messages can easily be misconstrued and hurtful when someone doesn't text back right away. Claudia Duran calls it "death by text." "Two people like each other, and they're a little scared, and they're a little hesitant," she said. "And so they text everything." Duran is a Miami-based matchmaker with  Elite Connections . She works with Miami's affluent singles and people who are clearly invested in finding a relationship: A basic six-month membership costs $15,000, and a global membership (meaning you can meet people worldwide) costs at least $75,000.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is honored every year with a National Day of Service.  King, Civil Rights Act remembered Former Secretary Condoleezza Rice, Taylor Branch, Joe Califano, Dr. James Peterson on the power of Martin Luther King, Jr., and the civil rights ... Yet today, 50 years after King shared this vision during his most famous speech, there is considerable disagreement over what it means. The quote is used to support opposing views on politics, affirmative action and programs intended to help the disa...
