*writings for week of 6/12 - 6/26*

*SCROLL DOWN FOR ARTICLE LINKS*











I slipped up just a little bit in not posting ones from 2 weeks ago because now there are a few. More than a few, I suppose. They include a review of Elizabeth Shepherd's album, Parkdale. It is just phenomenal. She is a jazz musician, but has a twang of contempop. More jazz though. I also had a WORDPLAY with DJ No Phrillz, and four write ups for the Citypaper including Janelle Monae, Raheem DeVaughn, Comcast Hip-Hop Showcase and Adele. This week for Citypaper, I did a preview on Philly rapper, Jake Lefco's album release party. I also did something for GeoClan surrounding Father's Day. It features DJ Statik about being a father, and DJ Stress, who has lost his father. I just wanted to do something to show a positive side of fatherhood and the impact it can have. I actually have 2 more of those coming this month! I had a good reason for being behind, which was the 2008 CARE Conference (www.care.org). More on that next post.
Enjoy!
