It does not matter if things already went viral without me, what matters is that we DO eventually see the wonderful things on the Internet and share:

Free Download: Armchair Generals
Today is a good day, no a great day. Don’t know how I got around to them today, but was thinking of the Armchair Generals because they are my neighbors: They are from Long Beach and I am in San Pedro. I wrote a little something about them when I first heard of them but it needed to be revisited and elaborated upon.
So, today here it is the free download from their forthcoming EP on the Davidance label. That’s how we learned of Armchair Generals in the first place because I get notifications from Ahead PR which is what Davidance uses. I wonder if they will use Ahead PR on their upcoming new release. I will investigate and let you know.
“A great mix of soulful expressions and emotive organic rhythms,” said Marc LaCasse, “The subtle touches of soul and electronic are just the icing on the cake.”
The Armchair Generals have recently partnered with Altitude Media Inc. to premier their entire 2010 EP on US Airways flights. Along with an interview with the band’s lead vocalist and bassist Pernicia Jaye, Armchair Generals music will be heard on over 3,000 national and international US Airways flights with a potential to reach over 600,000 passengers throughout November and December.
The independent artists from Long Beach were recently nominated for two SoulTracks 2011 Readers' Choice Awards in the categories of Best Duo or Group and Best New Artists. Fans are encouraged to stay tuned for the band’s upcoming profile on Bandcamp.
About Armchair Generals:

Video: La Rochelle, "Sitar"
Having suspended my Empire Avenue account over the weekend, I am free, free, free now to explore more music which is what I love. This had been sitting in my In-Box and is definitely a “Jewel.” I love La Rochelle and this video is so much fun that I hope you don’t miss it!
Happy #MusicMonday, Family. This entire album is very, very good as well! Here is the well-written biography and press release.
“Peter Cruseder is the main chef of La Rochelle´s sexy and funky tunes, enchanting you until a beaming smile and dancing feet are the only way forward. Peter Cruseder (electronics, keys) with Miss Gina Angel (voc) and Seimen Get (drums) rock the stage as an extraordinary live-act. Peter Cruseder Records: Aside from the live band, La Rochelle can also be heard on Peter’s own label. PCR is the dedicated launchpad for Cruseder´s various solo-projects along with La Rochelle.”
I couldn’t have written their press release any better:
La Rochelle “Sitar E.P.”
What the Hell it’s La Rochelle
“These smoking hot new Tracks by Peter Cruseder are gonna spin your head around and take your feet right off the ground. Fat 'n' Juicy House-beats combined with funky instrumentals are the ingredients that will burn down every party and jam pack the dance floor wherever you are. Right from the moment you hit the play button the signature title "Sitar" will come pouring out of your sound system and take you on a ride to a place where cool drinks, hot chicks and good vibes come together. So get on your feet, press play and enjoy the ride!!!”
Love,

Sun Ra Arkestra Live at Montreux 1976
If Granny ever saw this video, I forgot. I suggest that you watch it as soon as possible because many great videos disappear from YouTube without warning! Is there any wonder I love electronic music since I have been a fan of "electro" since 1970. :)
I just found this great article and biography online about Sun Ra, which I will not duplicate here. Very thorough: Sun Ra Brother from Another Planet
Share some love today!
