The Soul Controllers

 

Still recovering from the big Independence Day cookout-movie-marathon-sleepover joint... Unfortunately, I'm still smarting from the revelation that none of my extended family has even a drop of patriotic blood running throught their veins... While I can respect not wanting to be perceived as celebrating all the evil perpetrated over the years in the name of the good ol' US of A, opportunities to catch forty minute displays of isht getting blowed up should generally not be missed... Of course, I wanted to drive back home from NY on no sleep just to see cats demolish the Capital Centre, so maybe I'm a little too driven to see things exploding... Did I mention the Zippo lighter I just bought? Fire... cool.



Before I go renew my loyalty oath, then try to recreate the "Okay, I'm warmed up" scene from the Beyonce & Jay-Z "Crazy in Love" video, let's get to this week's playlist:

A few months back, some misinformed DC radio personality announced on-air that Barry White had died... The jock and his mixer had done a tribute and everything before realizing, the next day, that, although he was ill at the time, he was still with us. So I was a little reluctant to believe upon hearing of his passing yesterday, but sadly, this time it's true. We may never know how many of us owe our conception to a mood set by one of the Maestro's classics, but take a moment to a recognize a playa with game as large as his physique, and acknowledge him for allowing us to appropriate his game to advance our own romantic interests.



Easy, y'all...
