I am getting geared up for my weekly and I’ve been listening to this way-out-of-print vinyl rip of New York City jazz-R&B-soul vocalist extraordinaire Sylvia Striplin’s Roy Ayers-produced 1981 funk-disco outing Give Me Your Love that (frankly) I don’t think gets much play these days. Well, if you’ve ever played Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, you’ve heard her on VCFL so…maybe a little play?

Sometimes that’s the best way to find out about new music: randomly. I mean, there’s just so much to digest in the world of music that you can’t possibly hear it all at one time. Discovery is the greatest part of this process. So, in that regard, check this out & if you’re in Memphis, come down and join me at Dish, 948 S. Cooper (corner of Cooper & Young) for new music, sushi from Sekisui, and a grip of delicious, reasonably-priced Asian-influenced tapas. They’ve also got hot/cold sake on tap & Jagermeister on tap as well.

Let’s get down, shall we?
