And like myself you now have your own theme song.

For anyone doubting that sampling is proper music, check this out:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTx3G6h2xyA&feature=youtube_gdata_playerq

Watching/listening to that, it reminds me that I lived in London and hung out with some major artists when the dance scene in the UK blew up. Very good times.....

I believe in everything until it's disproved. So I believe in fairies, the myths, dragons. It all exists, even if it's in your mind. Who's to say that dreams and nightmares aren't as real as the here and now?

Anyone remember this tune and what it was subsequently used for?

I've posted about my eldest's difficult birth on another thread - although she recovered physically very quickly she seemed to hold the shock in her little body for much longer - she cried long into the night and needed to be held.

This is what I sang to her in the small hours. I just wandered into the lounge to see it used on a Talk Talk advert, which took me back to the hardest and yet most precious of times.

It occurred to me that anger was a good remedy to being dumped and dumped on. Worked for me last time (5+ years - now happily married!) so perhaps this was more useful - "F**k You" by Cee-Lo Green

((Scara)) - hope you are ok ....

For you, probably not your style but very soothing.

And for the night-owls and Sunday-nighters. This time the albatross:

Thanks - I'm fine.

The video link had nothing to do with anything happening with my current life. I just found it when going through my collection and it brought back memories of being a moody hormonal lovelorn teenager.

The earliest rap I can find is from '69 but I can't find a video.

I don't know what is in the air at the moment, but there seems to be a great Afrobeat renaissance going on at the moment.

I was thinking of a song by the Jazz Crusaders (before the Last Poets came along), but on reflection I think there is something even earlier from around '63 by an obscure Jamaican artist. I could be stretching things a bit as both songs might be better described as proto-rap. I think the first rap (as we would recognise it today) appeared on the B-side of a Fat Back Band song in '74 (5 years before King Tim III - http://youtu.be/UcTP4cvXSP0 - I need to dig out some more of their albums....it's been a while).

Of course there are examples of spoken rhymes over music that go back to the 20s, but there is a big difference between rapping and simply rhyming over music - some will no doubt beg to differ ;).

I have never been dumped  :-[
But I do know what it is like to love someone and have to let them go because you cannot trust them anymore. Though some years ago  it really hurt at the time.

To much young pride, I guess. But you can't look back you have to look forward.
I have never chased after a man either and I am not sure how.
I had been lucky that men have chatted me up.
