Notes in Music-Electric Arguments, Air Play, the Dammys
Feb 12th eve...
Hey people, How are you? just when you think the Grammys couldn't suck any worse, The people of the Grammys have stripped all videos posted on Youtube for copyright Infringement-What the hell? Why can't they not get a clue? There are people that missed the Dammys-damnit. What are the Grammys afraid of?

The entire, Grammy award show, is a complete farce-period so I say- next year. Let's all boycott and not watch, See the ratings plummet even further, next year! Apparently The Grammys did not bother to learn anything from McCartney. Radiohead, & Lil Wayne-as posted by The Chicago Tribune Let the Dammys crash & burn~ great article..

Why no Air play of Electric Arguments?
I tell you, since Paul McCartney released his latest album Electric Arguments in November, I have not heard one track played on the air, on local radio ie: KFOX & KFOG. What is up with that? They can plug Bruce Springsteen's album & upcoming tour, but cannot play Macca's critically acclaimed album, or even talk about it? do Disc Jocks even know the album exists? I wonder if Electric Arguments is getting any air play anywhere, besides the UK? c'mon radio stations give Macca a fair "Spin" will you~



Lovers is a Dream-Electric Arguments, The Fireman loved this video so much done by Maccaspan I'll post it again~enjoy

Electric Arguments Deluxe
I happen to be one of those who ordered Paul McCartneys Deluxe version of Electric Arguments, guess what? I still have not received it and it's Feb.12th, when am I gonna get my cool, box set? Has anyone else reading this received theirs yet, please let me know. How long is it gonna take.
Macca could have delivered it to me personally, by now,-since he was in town~ lol Could you imagine, Paul McCartney, knocking on your door, disguised voice, than apologizing for your late package? I'd laugh, I'd cry, I have no idea what I would do? lol

Paul McCartney's Grammy Nominations 2007

Paul McCartney's Grammy Nominations

OK this is very cool beans for Paul's 3 recent Grammy nominations on his critically acclaimed album Memory Almost Full.

For those that do not know The "Grammy's" are the highest honor in music an artist can achieve.

But will they actually give Paul a Grammy this year?

I think not, I think these Grammy's are based on record sales and air play if you ask me, not solely based on the artist's musical ability.

Hope they do not rip Paul off once again, this year. While we are at it, why wasn't

"Memory Almost Full" nominated for album of the year is quite puzzling?.

In 1990 Paul McCartney did receive a Grammy Lifetime achievement award. it's Time for Paul McCartney to be recognized in music once again, wouldn't you agree?

Featured artist Sly & The Family Stone

Showin some LOVE and layin it down for
Sly & the Family Stone
Sly and the Family Stone are credited as one of the first racially integrated bands in music history, belting their message of peace, love and social consciousness through a string of hit anthems that fused R&B, soul, funk and rock n roll. On 'Different Strokes by Different Folks' a stylistically, culturally and racially disparate group of chart-toppers mirrors that idealistic diversity. Understand this: There was no precedent for Sly & the Family Stone.

Stand -Sly & The Family Stone
harleyblues take:
"Stand for something
or fall for anything" one of my personal favs


Stand- from the Mike Douglas show member him?

Back in 1967, when the interracial, mixed-gender combo burst onto the scene with their debut album, the burgeoning rock & roll subculture was, as always, hungry for fresh kicks and different sounds. But no one was quite prepared for the magical, multi-faceted musical mix Sly and company served up. Their music was an inspired blend of rock, soul, pop, jazz, and an emerging genre soon to be dubbed funk. It packed a powerful, joyous wallop, delivering all the things one hoped to find in music: The thrill of the new, the excitement of the unexpected, a galvanizing groove, and lyrics that actually said something.



Family Affair


Sly & The Family Stone - Live - 1970 pt1
Everyday People- Dance to the music
lol " All you squares go home"
look at your girl blowin that horn!



Sly & The Family live 1970 pt2
Hot fun in the summer time- Don't call me nigga- Take you higher
man I LOVE these guys!
hot fun also another personal fav!
Sly's been sampled by Janet Jackson, Beastie Boys, Kid Rock, Fatboy Slim, Ice Cube and Public Enemy to name just a few! He was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1992, and is the recipient of the 2002 R&B Foundation Pioneer Award.



Thank you-1970

Man look at these fros & clothes -that was the style back in the day.

One of the best 70's Funk bands in my lil own opinion. Sly is currently living in seclusion as he has for the last 30 years in Hollywood. I believe he was recently interviewed in Vanity Fair. However he is doing some small gigs here & there most recently in San Jose, Music in the park? which he only appeared for 5 minutes but doesn't Sly always do this? hahahaha, I missed it as I was working. Turn it up! lets show some LOVE for Sly & The Family Stone "Get back" wit yo bad self!
