For anyone in Chicago tonight, I will be playing a few records with my pal Mel at Subterranean, 2011 North Avenue, in Wicker Park around 10pm. It's a much needed casual hang after two insane weekends. Join me for a drink and more than one Hall and Oates song.

Shadia Part 1
Shadia Part 2
Highly Recommended!!!
"Wow, thank you random Bay Ridge video store...The friendly shopkeeper told me Shadia is one of the classic singers from Egypt. Haunting melodies and songs of possible heartbreak and disappointment by an old film actress? I adore this whole scenario (along with the design of the cassette cover)."-AwesomeTapesFromAfrica
Timebox-The Deram Anthology
Recommended!!
"It's a pity how Timebox didn't have a successful career. From 1967 to 1969, they recorded five singles on Deram Records but they failed to top the charts. After their last single failed in 1970, they formed a band called Patto, a progressive jazz band that was somewhat successful. Fun fact: the Patto song "The Man" was recently just used for the trailer for the movie "Observe and Report".
To get back on topic, The Deram Anthology is a compilation album of 24 Timebox songs they made during their three years as a band. Some of tracks were going to be used on their 1968 album "Moose On The Loose" but it never got released. There's only one song on this compilation I really want to talk about. "Gone Is the Sad Man" is the track. I've had this song on repeat for several days now. Its a very dreamy psychedelic pop song. It also has a Beatles-esque sound because of its vocal harmonies and its catchy chorus. Then again, most bands made in 60s were always trying to make that Beatles sound. Anyways, what makes this song so dreamy is the vibraphone played by Ollie Halsall.
Ollie is the soul of the band. Besides the vibraphone, he also played guitar and sang backup vocals. He is considered one of the most underrated guitarist ever mostly because of his work in Patto. Many songs off the complemation don't really show much his guitar work but he sure as hell knew how to write songs. "Beggin'" another tune off the album that shows a lot of the creativity of Ollie. It sounds like lost Motown R&B track that will get stuck in your head for days.
I know this review is a little mediocre but most of the tracks off The Deram Anthology are very easy to listen to it. I'd recommend this album to anyone who likes any genre of music."-OliveMusic
Mor Thiam-Dini Safarrar
"Mor Thiam (born Mor Dogo Thiam in Dakar, Senegal, c. 1941) is a Senegalese drummer, cultural historian, and entertainment consultant. His surname is pronounced "Chahm."
Thiam, a member of the Dogon ethnic group, played drums from before the age of eight and had begun playing professionally by age 12. His surname, Thiam, means "historian" in his native tongue, and he comes from a family whose members use drums to tell the story of Senegal's Wolof people. His instruments include tama, sabar, and djembe.
Thiam settled in the United States in 1968, at the invitation of the noted choreographer Katherine Dunham. He settled in St. Louis, where he worked with Dunham and with the Black Artists' Group (BAG), a multidisciplinary arts collective. He has maintained homes in Atlanta and Dakar since the mid-1990s.
In 1973 and 1974 he performed with the jazz trumpeter Freddie Hubbard and has also performed and recorded with the World Saxophone Quartet. He toured Europe with the Alvin Ailey Dance Company (1989). He has also performed and recorded with the cross-cultural ensemble No World Improvisations, with Jin Hi Kim and Joseph Celli.
Thiam regularly serves as a consultant for many African projects around the United States and serves as the executive director of the Stone Mountain, Georgia-based Institute for the Study of African Culture.
Thiam's wife is named Kine Gueye Thiam.[1][2] She is a dancer, and came to the United States in 1972.[3] Thiam's son with Kine, Akon (born Aliaune Thiam), is an R&B singer.
Mor Thiam currently lives in Orlando, Florida."-Wikipedia
