VOTE CAT COSMAI FOR PRESIDENT (and also the Ultimate Borough Battle Winner )
She is like a female Hall and Oates with a dollop of Billy Joel circa An Innocent Man. At least that’s the best I can do with “Waiting For me” -a plainly awesome soul song
Must See? D'Angelo In August Is The Concert Of The Summer

Jahn Xavier And The Bowerytones: New Album On The Way
“There are 12 more. Most of the rockers are not yet mixed, as we added new guitars this past week.”. So it feels like a couple of months and if you have yet to listen to his band the Bowerytones get ready to remember just how great blue eyed soul can be in the hands of a great rock band,
Al Green At The Beacon Theater, Wednesday, August 22nd, 2012
It is as if he was translating his thoughts into music, skipping through soul music and switching, changing, impressing and deprecating in a moment, in a second.

D'Angelo Back In 2012
The purveyor of precisely two albums, each a masterpiece, his performance at Radio City Music Hall -a three hour act of stamina and bravado, is the one to beat. And other than a featured slot on a Q-tip strack and an arrest for soliciting a prostitute, we haven’t heard much.
