Hello music lovers. It was a pretty laid back week here. Not much happening at work and no casualties.
As always, the U.S. is in turmoil due to our president making a decision. Or in this case, a Supreme Court Judge choice. The little lady with the great name is sure making the republicans puckers pucker! Ms. Sotomayor is in all kinds of heat due to some past judegemnts involving caucasion fireman that got passed up for promotions due to a bit of affirmative action stuff going on. Oh yeah, she also stated that she would have a better view on things due to her being a Latina woman. Now what woman haven't I heard say "If We Could Run Things, It Would All Be Better"? Poor lady. I'm sure she'll get the job. She certainly seems smart enough and experienced enough. She ain't slinging hash, so how could I judge her? For some reason when I hear the name Sotomayor pronounced, I hear Oksana Bauil. At first I thought it odd that a Russian figure skater was getting appointed to the Supreme Court. That's just one of the odd way that my brain works. I'll be glued to Sotomayor's interview procedings! I say give it to Judge Judy! They don't keep her there cause she's beautiful ya know!
Now how about some cool summer white boy soul? Uh oh, I guess in this political climate, that's a racial statement. I'll never be a judge! OK, enough of that. This week's song is as smooth as a snifter full of aged tequila, except I dont grimace and shake like a spaz after. James Morrison is his name and he is a mere 26 years old. I believe he is a Kiwi and hails from Rugby, Warwickshire(correct me if I'm wrong, but just keep it inside). He has a really soulful voice that screams everything from Stevie Wonder to Jamiroquai. The song is called Nothing Ever Hurt Like You. No, it's not a Susan Boyle song about her boinking her first groupie! It's really fun and the production is very old school. Lots of good horns and stuff to keep your ears busy. Perfect convertible music as well!
James attributes his rich voice to a case of whooping cough that nearly killed him when he was a baby. He's had a number of hits in the U.K. Here is a link to the video. When I checked it out at youtube, the sound started a bit late, so be patient.

I had a number of songs in store for this week's pick. So I'll defintely have left overs to reheat and share in the coming weeks. Enjoy your Sunday and have a fantastic week.
Oh yeah, a belated birthday goes to DJ Jaimie in Atlanta. Dj. Joanne is also on a trip to Utah in search of an unhappy Osmond(Marie is better now since the meds and the dolls), I hope my musical gift made it to the road trip!
