Must Be The Music
Objective: To provide a space for meaningful, thought-provoking discussion. Goal: To share impressions and knowledge attained, with music at the core of the conversation. Brief personal background: An admirer of music since early childhood, an instrumentalist, writer, once hobbyist level, active party/backyard boogie DJ (vinyl/analog) who came of age watching the evolution of West Coast Hip-Hop form mainly from the sidelines as a spectator. Intent: From the mindful perspective of someone with a fan-first mentality who opted to take another route, but has always admired music and musicians.

Novelty or Necessity? - Objectionable Content and Music Censorship
A PREVIEW of what's to come... Is profanity, objectionable subject matter present in music, just novelty, or a necessity with artistic liberty taken under free speech and expression? We know that such extreme measures at curtailing music, targeting certain groups and recording artists have been happening over time for generations. In more recent years, "Rap" music has been used in criminal prosecution in a number of cases, yet music has been cited as not being of a sizable influence to everyday, normally stable people in society.  As the old saying goes, "All money ain't good money", my personal belief is that it goes for music and for almost anything that can be propagandized and marketed, having potential influence or persuasiveness over the masses. It becomes a matter of having the constitutional right to free speech and of a legally consenting consumer's right to choose. I wonder that of those in the position of a music creator, it's ultimately a matter of free expression and as a creative, what are the considerations, if any when it comes to the music one chooses to make? Is there pressure to be more daring or more obscene than not?  Is there persuasiveness for an artist to be something they're not?  Is there a moral compass? Was there ever one?  For fans, and audiences, it's about authenticity perhaps compromising what's most appropriate for something offering true contextual perspective. No judgment here. Judgment FREE zone. You be the judge.  In another upcoming 'ep that's a bit more babble than boogie. This is a page from the "Black Music Month's" scrapbook that we won't skim over to the next because we fear what's pictured on its page.  A fan first and a non-judgmental, perspective, and speculative assessment at most is on the MBTM - Radiovision Podcast Channel.

The Day After - Reflecting on a Prince Who'd Be King
More in commemoration for Black Music Month, 2022 from this new upstart podcast channel. Sharing some perspectives and experiences in varying degrees, having on occasion, happened across those who were fellow recording artists that I'd encounter, albeit for brief moments in a number of situations and in public settings on chance situations. In acknowledgment of those who are among the most musically talented in modern times throughout the history and origin of popular music spanning genres and styles. Some uncommon tracks were played and mixed into the show with some commentary from my viewpoint. In my honest opinion, Prince epitomized musicianship.

The More Babble Less Boogie Show
A random discussion about past history and influences in music with one of my long-time personal friends that became an interview with someone who had firsthand involvement with what would become known as "West Coast Hip-Hop"; was there on the scene before it first began, and would take part in it. They're among those uncredited who had a part in an industry that had an effect on culture. If you viewed NFL Super Bowl 56, a number of the classic "West Coast Hip-Hop" references were apparent during the performance. A.J. speaks from experience as a session musician, arranger, keyboardist, concert tour member, his start as a performance DJ, and Business Manager for various acts including "Rodney O and Joe Cooley", as an integral/core member of Uncle Jamm's Army that experienced some firsts during this period, an A&R Executive/Talent Scout, and General Manager for Egyptian Empire Records, has worked alongside West Coast recording artist, innovator and legend of West Coast Hip-Hop/Freakbeat/Electro-Funk Egyptian Lover who's currently touring and has been for over 30 years, since the early 80s.

A Little Music; Going Over Some Liner Notes
More babble, less boogie. Some of my favorite tracks throughout my life, my personal impressions, and some historical information relayed.  The idea of this channel is to play some music and talk about it from the standpoint and position of an enthusiast recounting personal experiences and related influences. That's the intention behind this podcast.

Indeed, Love IS Truly What We Need Today
Sobering thoughts encompass me and have permeated my mind's expanses, as my eyes fill with tears.  Moving forward, as we each must do to simply keep functioning. It's at my very core from which I'm driven to grasp something more positive to promote love, peace, harmony and happiness even if by the megabyte, the segment, the moments of time.  Far less is it at all about generating much more than monetization. Music can be a voice for the voiceless. It can bring people together in times of crisis, and be a salve for easing the pain. In some measure, that's my purpose here. What I'm feeling I can do. To promote wellness beyond just myself.  Be well.
