Love this video!

From a comment on YouTube:
“… it’s a clip from “Wattstax”, a 1973 documentary film by Mel Stuart that focused on the 1972 Wattstax music festival
The concert was held at the Los Angeles Coliseum on August 20, 1972, and organized by Memphis’s Stax Records to commemorate the seventh anniversary of the Watts riots. Wattstax was seen by some as “the Afro-American answer to Woodstock”. To enable as many members of the black community in L.A. to attend as possible, tickets were sold for only $1.00 each.”

6 years ago, on Dilla’s 32nd birthday, his masterful ‘Donuts’ album was released. Donuts was created almost entirely from his hospital bed, with a SP303 and a bunch of 45′s. 3 days later, Dilla passed away.

This is the sample used in Apollo Brown’s ‘Cloudy Days’.

The applications for RBMA 2012 are open! This year’s Academy will take place in New York.

I’ve just recently discovered about RBMA, and I still haven’t gotten over how awesome of a project it is… The lectures especially are amazing; so much knowledge, experience and information, all in one place – it’s something truly exceptional. The videos were very inspirational to watch.
I’ll be applying for the first time this year, so fingers crossed! Is anybody else applying? Let me know!
