Sitting here sipping my tea and enjoying a bowl of oatmeal w/ straw & blueberries that I just whipped up. Most of you know that I scored a kick-ass job at UH's RB&C for the summer. I worked two days last week, getting trained, and I'm pretty sure I'm gonna like it, alot. Not to be brag-a-docious, but it's an amazing place to be and there is so much to be learned while I'm there. I'm going to take full advantage, bust out my old pediatric books, and make myself more marketable.
Today is Father's Day, and I want to send a shout-out to my Pop's in dirty Jerzey, I wouldn't be me without him. Today is also the last day of the Native American Pow Wow down at Edgewater Park. Gates open at 1pm, I'll probably meander over there at some point to check out the dancing and the jewelry. On with the 10....
1. Time's A Wastin' - Erykah Badu from Mama's Gun. Can I get a hell yeah for this woman and this track? Great start to the 10!!
2. Part Of My Life - India.Arie from Acoustic Soul. Another great track & artist. I've never heard her follow-up album, but I do know that this one is kick ass.
3. If I Was Your Girlfriend - Prince from The Hits (Disc 2). There's a funky bass line to this track, and I love it.
4. Trampled Under Foot - Led Zepplin from Disc 3 of the box set. These guys don't get enough play on the Pod. Maybe this is the hippie in me, but damn these guys rock!
5. Leviticus;Faggot - Me'Shell Ndegeocello from Peace Beyond Passion. This is a good song about a young gay man that struggled through his sexual preference with his family and society. An appropriate song for Pride weekend.
6. Shake - Ottis Redding from The Very Best Of. Another feel good classic from Ottis, makes you want to get up and dance around, hence the name 'Shake.'
7. Natty Dread Rampage - Ziggy Marley from a mixed Ziggy disc I burned years ago. This a live cut from who knows where, but I LOVE this fucking song.
8. Friday Night - Ugly Duckling from a mixed UD disc. This is a great underground hip-hop group that I discovered while listening to a stream of WKEXP (a college station in Seattle). Very good, I recommend these guys to any hip-hop fan.
9. Devil's Pie - D'Angelo from Voodoo. Killer track.
10. Bye Bye Baby - G. Love & Special Sauce from Coast To Coast Motel. One of my favorite G. Love songs right here. A sweet bluesy, new orleans jazzy, type shit.
Sweet, a 10 that was filled with GREAT tracks! Way to go Pod.
Peace out,
Medusa Jones
