You know, I hear people talk about how soul/R&B/jazz music is not the same. They claim that said genres don't mean anything and anyone can get a hit these days. The second statement is true, the first statement is COMPLETELY false. Music still has meaning, and if you don't think so, you're listening to the wrong artists. Here's a tip, turn off the radio. Watch "Sub Soul" on VH1 Soul. Watch BETJ "Soul Sessions." If you see people you like, which I'm sure you will, look them up. Find their albums! That's how I found a lot of people. Also, Last.fm is a big help too. If you find someone, they recommend similar artists. Most of the artists on this blog are people that I've stumbled upon, and I have yet to hear them on the radio(like I said, most, not all). Please, take my advice.

You're very right! Radio is very cold and calculated, not warm and inspiring like good music.
Nice blog by the ways!
You don't hear a lot of amazing talent on the radio nowadays, it's all about who's hot and who isn't. I've said this before, but it seems like how you look nowadays definies just how successful you'll be in the industry. VH1 Soul is cool, they have done some live stuff from a few underrated talents.
Your blog is cool, I've added to the links on my page anyway.
Wow! amazing blog! Keep up the good work...
