Wasn’t Expecting That – Jamie Lawson
Wasn’t Expecting That – Jamie Lawson
The past few years have been exceptionally busy for singer-songwriter Jamie Lawson. Lawson’s music career took a major turn in 2010 when Irish DJ Ian Dempsey played his tear jerker of a song “Wasn’t Expecting That” on his radio show, Today FM. Seemingly overnight the song went viral, garnering over 150,000 YouTube hits within a week. Since then, it’s been non-stop for the talented young singer. He’s had a #1 single and album in Ireland, over half a million views on Youtube and a schedule chock-full of promotional appearances and gigs throughout the UK and Ireland. In April 2013, Jamie released a brand new 4-track EP, Between Each Breath. Its current single, The Quiet Man, is a beautifully haunting song that will resonate with listeners long after its finished.
Born and raised in Plymouth in what was he says a resolutely non-musical household; Jamie began playing the guitar at 8-years-old. Experimenting with covers band while at school, it was only when Jamie was 17 that he started to discover his own voice – and that voice proved to be something very special indeed. No-one who has heard him sing live would disagree. Even-keeled, even undemonstrative offstage, he comes alive in front of an audience and in the service of his songs.
Before settling in Cornwall (where he currently resides), Jamie spent two years working and playing in the clubs of Ireland, fully immersing himself in the music scene and performing alongside the likes of Mundy, The Four of Us, Glen Hansard of The Swell Season, Tom Baxter and Gemma Hayes. Three tracks on his latest album, Wasn’t Expecting That, were written during this inspirational time in Ireland, with love being the common themes on ‘This is Love,’ ‘Real Thing’ and ‘Love You All The Same.’ Influenced by the likes of Crowded House, R.E.M & Leonard Cohen, alongside the books of John Irving and the poetry of Ian Hamilton, Wasn’t Expecting That features 12 remarkable songs that ruminate on the subjects of hope, love and hopeless despair.
Jamie Lawson is not just a singer but an exceptionally blessed and affecting one, whether with his regular band or in a solo and acoustic setting. His voice and songs have proven to work equally beautifully, whether in a tiny indoor venue like London’s 12 Bar Club or outdoors before 10,000 people. “And the simple fact is that I love to sing,” he says. “I love the intimacy of live performance. I love drawing people into my mood. I love bringing them to where I am.”

Play That Funky Music – Wild Cherry
Play That Funky Music – Wild Cherry
Rob Parissi (lead vocals & guitar) was raised in the steel mill town of Mingo Junction, Ohio. Parissi graduated from Mingo High School in 1968. Rob formed the band Wild Cherry in 1970 in Steubenville, Ohio, one mile north of Mingo Junction along the Ohio River. The band’s name “Wild Cherry” was taken from a box of cough drops while Rob was recuperating from a brief hospital stay.
The band played the Ohio Valley region,Wheeling, West Virginia and the rest of the Northern West Virginia panhandle, and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The original line-up included: Ben Difabbio (drums and vocals), Louie Osso (guitar, lead and background vocals) from Steubenville, Ohio, Larry Brown (bass, lead and background vocals) from Weirton, West Virginia, Larry Mader (keyboards, lead and background vocals) from East Springfield, Ohio, Over time, the band members changed, with Osso, Brown, and Mader leaving the band, replaced by Rob’s cousin, Coogie Stoddart (guitar, lead and background vocals) and Joe Buchmelter (bass). Buchmelter was soon replaced by Buckie Lusk.
Several records before “Play That Funky Music” were released under their own label during the early 1970s, including “You Can Be High (But Lay Low),” date unknown, and “Something Special On Your Mind,” in 1971. The music at this stage was pure rock music, not funk. Wild Cherry eventually gained a record contract with Brown Bag Records, owned and operated by the late Terry Knight of Terry Knight And The Pack fame, who later on without Terry became Grand Funk Railroad, who Terry also produced at the time for Capitol records. Several demos and singles on Knight’s Brown Bag label distributed by United Artists were produced including “Get Down” (1973) and “Show Me Your Badge” (1973).
The band broke up when a disillusioned Parissi left the music scene to become the manager of a local steakhouse. Rob quickly realized that the steakhouse gig was not going to cut it. As his enthusiasm for the music eventually returned, Rob decided to give the business one last shot. Read more…..en.wikipedia.org

RUN-DMC vs Jason Nevins – It’s Like That
RUN-DMC vs Jason Nevins – It’s Like That
Darryl McDaniels or “DMC” as most of the world knows him, first made his start in the music business as one third of the ground breaking rap group Run-DMC and quickly became the most popular in terms of fans and influence. He has been in the public eye for the past 20 years, since forming the now legendary, defunct group, RUN-D.M.C with Joseph (Rev. Run) Simmons and the late, great Jason (Jam Master Jay) Mizell. Also one of the founding members of this multi-platinum music group, selling over 30 million singles and albums worldwide, it would be hard to overstate his influence on popular culture. He helped transform Rap and Hip Hop into the most popular music in the world, while building a fan base that rivals the biggest acts in Rock ‘n’ Roll.
As the first and greatest of Hip Hop’s superstars, Run-DMC succeeded beyond anyone’s wildest dreams – their own included – by embodying for the world endlessly creative subculture of young black New York. They were the first rappers to earn a gold album, the first to earn a platinum album, the first to go multi-platinum, the first to have their videos played on MTV, the first to appear on American Bandstand and Saturday Night Live, and the first rap band to grace the cover of Rolling Stone and Spin.
DMC has recently added another list of firsts to his life – his first book entitled “King of Rock: Respect, Responsibility and My Life with Run-DMC” (St. Martins). The book, written by DMC with Bruce Haring with the forward by rapper/actor Will Smith, offers a flavored tale of his rise within the music business while stressing the importance of respect and responsibility in today’s society. It has received rave reviews nationwide. Entertainment weekly called it “strangely compelling, bravely honest… plenty of entertaining anecdotes about life back in the day to keep you turning the pages. Like Will Smith, McDaniels is a born charmer.” Publisher’s Weekly says the book is “hard hitting yet sensitive… he (McDaniiels) argues astutely that ‘very few of the rappers will admit they’re creating a fictional character,’ and thereby create problems for themselves.”
In addition to the new book, DMC released his own musical project entitled Checks, Thugs, Rock-N-Roll.

The Hoover Lightweight Bagged Upright rides on top of the carpet pile and is acceptable for a selected vary of carpet sorts. As a result of it’s so light-weight and because of the extremely robust suction energy and quickly rotating brush roll, the entrance fringe of the cleaner’s nozzle may dip down into the carpet fibers or “grab” the carpeting making the cleaner difficult to push.
