Welcome To The Sunday Soundtrack – 1 Mar 09

Hey everyone…welcome back to The Sunday Soundtrack. Goodbye February…hello March. Two months gone already in ’09…wow…somebody slow it down…geez!. In any event, glad you can join me again. Hope your day is going well.

The type of week I have, along with the kind of tracks I discover or am feeling at the moment, generally determines the flow of the playlist I developed. While this past week wasn’t necessarily overwhelming by any stretch of the imagination, it was tedious. The perpetuation of such led me to put together more of a laidback playlist. I put it together, partly, as a result of having discussions with who seems to be my biggest fan on The Sunday Soundtrack Facebook Group, Christophe Sandot over in France!. Kristof has made himself my official global ourtreach PR man, as he says…hahah. Just wanna give you a quick shoutout, brotha. Thanks for letting me know about the tracks your are listening to, the stories of your travels, and most of all spreading the word about The Sunday Soundtrack to your crew abroad, I definitely appreciate it.

This edition of the podcast sort of features an artist I discovered on XM Radio and subsequently found their tracks on iTunes – Blank and Jones. Blank and Jones is a top dance group out of Germany, known for their chill and downtempo tracks. If you love some seriously chilled tracks, check them out. Their official website is here.

Let’s move to the playlist:

1. Gotta Be Love – Joey Youngman/Om Lounge, Vol. 10
2. Original Bedroom Rockers – Kruder & Dorfmeister/Ultra Chilled
3. President Chimp Toe – Fila Brazillia/Power Clown
4. Twilight – Blank & Jones/Relax Edition 2 (Sun) – EP
5. Cruisin – Blank & Jones/Relax Edition 2 (Sun) – EP
6. Die Blaue Stunde – Blank & Jones/Relax Edition 3 (Sun) – EP
7. ‘Lost In Thought – Jon Hopkins/Opalescent
8. Florent 2 A.M. – Blank & Jones/Relax Edition 3 (Sun) – EP
9. Miracles – Afterlife
10. Tone Poem – Third Face/Sty Wars

For your viewing pleasure, here’s one of their videos.

That’s it…It’s my wish that u enjoy this podcast, it’s always a pleasure to bring it. Be sure to check out my fellow podcast massive in my blogroll. I’m certain you will enjoy what they have to offer.

Keep it chill….

Welcome To The Sunday Soundtrack (recast 1 Jun 08) – 22 Feb 09

Hey folks….

Thanks for listening in once again. While this week wasn’t VERY busy (this past Friday night and Saturday evening moreso), I didn’t get the new tracks I was hoping to get, and currently need to troubleshoot a mic issue with my audio interface. That being said, I’m posting another recast. I hope you enjoy the mix.

1. Vibrations – Sutro Heights/Om Lounge – Vol.7
2. Well I Gotta Story to Tell – Evolve/Chill Out-West Coast Edition, Vol. 2
3. Survivor – Mr. Fingers/Future Soul
4. Planet Of The Breaks (Jazzanova Rmx) – Visit Venus/The Endless Bummer Rmx Appendix
5. Then Came You – Euphonic feat. Kevin Yost/Mushroom Jazz 2
6. Hurt Of A Nerd (Jimpster Rmx) – Visit Venus/The Endless Bummer Rmx Appendix
7. Feeling Good (Joe Clausell Remix) – Nina Simone/Verve Remix Box Set Deluxe Edition Set
8. Like a Tattoo – Sade/Best of Sade

Thanks to AMR for expressing interest in Nina Simone. I would have never considered her considering the vibe and genres of this podcast, but I was able to find the remix above. Again, Verve Records comes through.

I hope you enjoyed the tracks, and further hope that whenever you’re listening to this, your state of mind is playing your desired soundtrack as well. If you have any questions about The Sunday Soundtrack, please feel free to email me.

The Sunday Soundtrack is on Twitter, you can follow it here and on Facebook as well, here.

For those podcasters/musicians/remixers/etc…I’m hoping to resurrect another podcast that I started in 2007. It is entitled “Fusion: Where Music, Technology, and the Creativity of the Artist Intersect”. If you are interested in participating, you can find more information about it here.

peace, have a great week!
All the best,
F!

Welcome To The Sunday Soundtrack – A Sunday Kind of Flow – 15 Feb 09

Welcome to The Sunday Soundtrack! I hope all are well and had a good weekend thus far. I’m already sorta winding down from a laidback, but busy weekend. I could definitely use President’s Day off tomorrow for sure.

This edition of the Sunday Soundtrack is entitled “A Sunday Kind Of Flow”, a title that was inspired by, you guessed it, all tracks with the word Sunday in the title. The tracks, as a whole, depart from my usual collection of chill, but change CAN be a good thing at times. I hope you enjoy it. It’s my pleasure to feature Mr. Tim Watson, a very talented smooth jazz keyboardist with a heart of gold. Tim, thanks for your gifts in total.

Without further adieu…check the playlist…

1. Sunday Morning– Earth Wind & Fire/Millennium
2. Sunday Mornin’ – Brian Bromberg/Downright Upright
3. Sunday Afternoon – Tim Watson/Sunday Afternoon
4. Sunday Afternoon – Vanessa Daou/Zipless (Deluxe)
5. Sunday Night – DJ Migs/Mushroom Jazz 2
6. Sunday Breeze – Ben Tankard/The Minstrel
7. A Sunday Samba (Con Dos Guitarras)/Phaze II
8. A Sunday Kind Of Love – Etta James/Love Songs

“Sunday Morning” – Brian Bromberg and The Downright Upright Band

Special shout out to Ana B for providing me with the Etta James track…. much appreciated.

I *will* be back next week as usual with a SSP re-cast from last year.

Enjoy the week, day, hour, and second…be safe.

peace,
F!
