Some New School for Old School Heads

August 20, 2014/By Shack E/In Articles/ 0 Comment

At the sad news of the passing of yet another music legend in Bobby Womack, we see the inevitable timelines filled with eulogies about the greatness of the man.

So I was driving home tonight, music blaring and ‘Square Biz’ by Teena Marie came on the car blaster, so I thought: “how the hell could I have left this out from the baddest basslines list (earlier blog post)?”! Sure, over the last couple of weeks, i’ve heard many a track that I thought I […]

Where is Rod Temperton?

March 30, 2014/By Shack E/In Articles/ 15 Comments

It’s a question i’ve often asked myself over the years. So the other night I went into a nostalgic frenzy on Woofer Radio, playing Heatwave and Michael Jackson songs, many of which were written by Rod Temperton. So again I googled him and again, I came up short. Wikipedia shows him as still being alive […]

Here’s a props give to a very under-rated species, the Brit Soul & Funk acts from the 80’s. The period from the late 70’s to late 80’s was no doubt a golden period with so much talent and fantastic music. These acts faced a lot of discrimination in their own backyards as they competed with […]
