Video of the Day – ‘Come Together’
The weekend is upon us. Most of us need it a little more after this week… I see this has been made an ‘official’ video, and I always that the animation here is fairly clever. Easy choice. Have a good one gang.

Coming Soon – ‘Creed II’
And you know I yelled when I saw the Ali tribute shot…
Video of the Day – ‘One for My Baby’
Today’s video is one of my theme songs, performed by one of the show biz greats. I’ve auditioned to play Sammy once; it’s still a dream part for me. May realistically be a little too far removed at the moment for what Paramount is setting up, but you never know… Enjoy!
Video of the Day – ‘Apesh!t’
Well, this is a nice way to get back into the music. Art, ladies and gentlemen…
Hallelujah
My Ramadan goal this year wasn’t as dramatic as the past few. I didn’t focus hard on improving my Arabic; I didn’t donate all my excess material stuff to Goodwill. I came into the holy month in awe that I’ve been able to live my life without destroying ‘my life.’ I’ve also been aware, […]
Shaykh
The official answer to it all is, ‘It is the will of Allah.’ If I go before I resurface next month, Surah 2, verse 286 should be on the front of the program: ‘Allah imposes not on any soul a duty beyond its scope.’ When my mind is quiet though, (which is often now), […]
Song of the Day – ‘Cult of Personality’
One more song… This is darkly comic now, but in my deep dive of Malcolm’s life there was a 48 hour period last week where I was listening to the full audio of ‘Message to the Grassroots’, and ‘the Ballot or the Bullet’, then Kanye went public calling a slavery a choice and I […]
Song of the Day – ‘A Change is Gonna Come’
Liquid lunches and reading and getting up a little bit earlier…almost that time. I’ve already heard this ‘sign’ from three different places this morning. Good time for it to be the Song of the Day. Enjoy.
‘Dear White People: Volume 2’
I don’t think Justin Simien will take any offense to me saying each incarnation of ‘Dear White People’ has been an improvement on the one before it. The latest season (or volume as it were) builds on Season 1’s re-introduction of the characters and settings of Winchester University, and creatively expands on them in […]
Song of the Day – ‘Humble’
First, a serious editor’s note… I did a quick scan to try to find an accurate date, it looks like 2013 was the last time a ‘Song of the Day’ was either from or had the hook sung by ‘you know who.’ So if the time has come for the Pied Piper of R&B […]
