OK, I know it is only a few days since my last Seminal Album but this one is exciting. Well it is exciting for me. The album is 1982's World Music pioneer release from King Sunny Adé And His African Beats and it is called Ju Ju Music . OK, there had been African musicians in the western eye before; Fela Kuti, Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makebo, Manu Dibango etc, but this was a new departure for Island...

There wasn't much on at the cinema this weekend, so I was tempted to go and see the apocalyptic disaster movie 2012, even though it's dubbed into French. However, having read the 2012 reviews, I decided to go and see...

I was surprised to find that four of the nearly 500 pop OHWs from 1949 till 1968 (I chose 60) were South African: Skokiaan, The Lion Sleeps Tonight, Miriam Makeba's Pata Pata and now - Hugh Masekela's Grazing In the Grass Jeannie C. Riley - Harper Valley P.T.A. Casuals - Jesamine And finally the ridiculous: Tiny Tim - Tip-Toe Through The Tulips With Me

CD REVIEW various artists: Jazz Around the World (Putumayo) World Torch? Global Nightclub? There's got to be a better title for this disc, which may fall under the broad umbrella of "jazz," but is certainly a narrow slice of the global jazz available today. Granted, Putumayo are playing to the audience they've built up with their relatively smooth, accessible series of CDs, and the included...

When we got our first UHF commercial station here in the Cincinnati area in 1968, WXIX-TV, it did not broadcast on weekends except in the evenings. For a brief period in 1970, however, they offered a unique experiment which I believe to have been a syndicated package offered to other such stations around the country. It was called THE MUSIC CONNECTION and pre-saged MTV as well as those high cable all-music...
