Label Love, Vol. 5 -- The Jazz Edition

As soon as I think my blog or my station fits in one category, another one surfaces that I like even more at the moment. Today, it is jazz, which you all know is my first love!!! Quality download that you should not sleep on because it is free and good like all good music!

Label Love is an eclectic yet unified bundle of unique sounds compiled simply for the love of sharing them with the universe - each track plucked and presented by Jazz heads from Tru Thoughts Recordings, Impossible Ark Records, Gondwana Records, Jazzman Records, Edition Records, Katalyst Entertainment, Revive Music Group, and Basho Records.

Label Love Volume 5: The Jazz Edition showcases a broad range of Jazz, with the goal of expanding minds to the magical genre and its many forms.

Live365.com Down, Pinterest Down--is Mercury Retrograde?

We interrupt the regularly scheduled programming for buffering, buffering, buffering.  That is what is going on at live365.com this morning for my station and I presume all of the thousands of other stations hosted there.  Okay, that has happened before, so I will just pin something on Pinterest.  Uh-oh, cannot pin, cannot like, and definitely cannot repin this morning.  Pinterest is broken.

What to do?  I have been so detached from the outcome of all of my forays into social networking, curating, sharing and connecting on the Internet.  AOL web pages taught me 10 years ago that one cannot be attached to ANYTHING on the Internet.  It will be here now and after that poof.  I say, if you cannot stream it or pin it, be it!  That's right "BE" the love that our Creator meant us to be.

Okay, so the alternative is do my work.  LOL -- That lasted a few minutes, and now am back writing to you.

"Pinterest is down, but we won't frown,
Can still look at our own boards and move them around!
Station still buffering and Pins won't pin
So listening to promos to recommend
IodaPromonet is the quality spot
Checking New and Upcoming -- that means a lot."  djGoddessa

What is Changa Tuki?

"For a few years, Pacheko and Pocz have been making their own, spiffed-up version of changa tuki (see “Tuki Love,” above) and helping spread the word about the sound. So far it seems to be working. Pocz & Pacheko have a tuki release coming out Buraka Som Sistema’s Enchufada label in Portugal as part of their “Hard Ass Sessions” series. Pacheko is also helping Mental Groove Records put together tracks for an upcoming compilation titled Changa Tuki Classics.

As for DJ Yirvin, he says he’s getting emails and calls from around the world every day since the documentary hit YouTube. “We’re pushing the sound, and hopefully it will be good for everybody,” says Pacheko, who says he’s committed to bringing up the real-deal tuki producers and dancers with him if the sound blows up internationally. “We started as fans of theirs, but we’ve become friends. It’s like ‘ok, this is our scene now. As long as we keep it original and Venezuelan, we want to be part of it.”
