Richard Cortez - [rec]ord trailer


[rec]ord, wollenberg records sixth release since 2005, is exploding with five brand new never-before-heard Richard Cortez songs!

This DIY EP, carefully constructed in Cortez' home recording studio, is driven by an airtight 13-piece orchestra and a wailing chorus of back-up singers. Richard's quirky signature hammering and finger-picking of his acoustic guitar, memorable mouth-curling lyrics and adoring warm baritone voice lay a strong foundation for the album's expansive and soaring arrangements written by none other than Cortez himself.

From the soulful heartfelt rock anthem "Patsy Cline" to the big-band Beatles-inspired "The Next Best Thing", this is Richard's strongest and most eclectic work to date. Listen to Richard Cortez like you've never heard him before with [record, available from digital sources and Wollenberg Records on May 1.

Ajay Chavez - Holding On Another Day

This was written & recorded for a close friend/relative who was in a severe auto accident a few years back...she received massive head trauma & was in a coma for a couple of months...she wasn't expected to live. NO ONE survives the kind of injuries she incurred, YET she is still here...this song is a homage to her life!

Late Laura Nyro inducted into Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame

Piano-playing songstress Laura Nyro has been inducted posthumously into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

Nyro, who died 15 years ago at 49, smoothly incorporated gospel, jazz and other styles into her music, which has inspired artists for years and is being embraced by a new generation.

Although she never made it big commercially, other artists like Blood, Sweat & Tears, Three Dog Night, The Fifth Dimension & Barbra Streisand had hits with her songs.

Bette Midler inducted Nyro and called her an artist for whom "love was the main thing." Midler said Nyro captured the passionate and romantic essence of New York City.

Nyro's son, hip-hop artist Gil Bianchini, accepted on his mother's behalf Saturday night in Cleveland.

Richard Cortez - For The Record - Episode Two - The Songs

Richard Cortez invites a panel of 20 somethings to select the songs on his upcoming album.

Richard Barone - "Hey, Can I Sleep on Your Futon?" (Official Video) - Oc...

"Hey, Can I Sleep on Your Futon?" is former Bongos frontman Richard Barone's contribution to the upcoming all-star Occupy This Album compilation, created to benefit the Occupy Wall Street movement and featuring songs from 99 major artists. All proceeds from the album will go to the movement, a cause that can now be found in 951 cities and 83 countries.

Barone's track, written with the aid of frequent collaborator Matthew Billy, is a gentle but persuasive call to arms detailing the struggles of four characters hurt by the recession; a soldier, a musician, a recent graduate, and a finance industry worker. The lyrics speak to how this country's implicit promise of hard work being rewarded has been broken. Of the OWS movement itself, Barone says, "This is an unprecedented raising of voices. I am thrilled to add mine to the many."

The music video for the song was directed by New York/Los Angeles filmmaker Jason Lester, an ardent supporter of the Occupy Wall Street movement.

Kendall Kelly - Truth Changes


Kendall Kelly - Truth Changes

Available On CD Baby

A pop record with a wide range of influences and genres. Each song has its own feel and approach much like a Prince or Beatles CD. The writing, arrangement, production and vocal approach are unique to each song but still have my own flavor.... Songs like Deeper than Blue and Toast showcase my talents as an emotional and simple songwriter, while Boom Box and There's a Skip on the Record showcase a fun a playful funkiness. Darker than Black and Spiders are emotionally complex and deep, both with unique approach to production. Last Train, Do You Know How Sexy You Are and A World of Strangers are all Beatles/Kendall Hybrids . Living in My Headphones and Clothes Get in the way are both Rap songs - one Rock infused and the other incredibly minimal ,clever and quirky. It Doesn't Have to be a Dream is a modern dance song influenced by Britney Spears. Never be Removed From My Heart a modern blues track. Bring Back the Days is a Pop/Rock mid-tempo tune. Stanley is a song written by my friend Charles Brown about a relationship with an inmate.The CD also showcases the work of four different visual artists and reflects the diversity and emotional differences between the songs in a strong colorful fashion. I am VERY proud of this CD as a showcase of my work as a songwriter and producer.

Tim'm West - After Midnight

With assistance and encouragement from brilliant comrades and allies in Brasil, among them director Kelson Frost of INCuba films "After-Midnight" is appropriately the only completely vocal track on the Hip-Hop heavy "Fly Brotha". The DirtyBird produced track affirms Tim'm's journey as a man who learned, better late than never, that it's utterly okay, even critically necessary, for men to cry. Special thanks to Darren Calhoun of QuickClick Media (Chicago) for helping augment Kelson's vision so beautifully. Thanks to the dancer, Getulio Ramalho, and the actor who beautifully represents the unconscious is Rodrigo Andrade. Thanks to Brasil. Proud to be your brother.

USGA
(Understanding Same-Gender Attraction) is an unofficial group of Brigham Young University students, faculty, and friends who wish to strengthen families and the BYU community by providing a place for open, respectful discussions on the topic of same-gender attraction. USGA is not an appropriate forum for angry, vulgar, or profane remarks of any kind, nor for expressions of antagonism against any person or organization. In order to foster an environment of respect and understanding, we ask all participants to be respectful of BYU, the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day Saints (Mormon), and the beliefs and experiences of others. If you'd like to add your voice to the messages of hope and love, please make a video, upload it to YouTube and send us the link. Thanks!

Timm West (featuring Quentin Adams) - A Real Man

What exactly is a "Real Man"? This 2011 Tim'm West single features Quentin Adams who served a dual role as vocalist and helped conceptualize and shoot "A Real Man". The song challenges notions that a real man can't be real about what he desires-- especially among gay men who often see being "open" about ones sexuality as a tabooo. Shot in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, the video is a provocative view into the lives of an OUT man grappling with the challenges of dating a closeted one...and working through it anyway.
