This album was released in 1988 and was the follow-up to Sade’s third album “Promise” from 1985. It was after this album that she took one hell of a longass pause and more or less got on with her life. Then she released “Love Deluxe” in 1992. Ah, these artists….and their fart-assery. Nah, I shouldn’t [...]

In 1992, Sade decided that it was time to release another album, something she hadn’t done since 1988. Yep. It took her four freakin’ years just to make that difficult fourth album of hers. Why it took so long, I don’t know. I’d imagine she was just plain old getting on with her life and….I [...]

One of the songs instantly caught my ear because of [...]

The first time I’d ever heard of Lewis Taylor was on the internet some time in the late 1990s.

“Spicks and Specks” is an Australian music-based quiz show which was first brought to my attention some time in 2007. Being that I am a natural born music freak who is more than just a tad bit attached to his ever growing collection of CDs, DVDs and LP Records, it was a show that pretty [...]
