Apple Music pissed me off this month. They put together their little pop celebration of Women in Music but completely overlooked updating the Heavy Metal & Alternative Rock section for Women’s History Month! I made this podcast episode as a remedy for myself. Highlighting some ladies that I love in Metal, Hard Rock, Prog & Industrial — we jump into ladies killing it in the present and OGs who give their all to their craft.

I had a ton of fun making this. I hope you enjoy listening.

I missed you last month. Since we missed a month, let's get reacquainted. We celebrate Women's History Month and Black History Month by starting off the episode celebrating one innovator that we lost in February 2021, Sister Charmaine. We also celebrate an OG innovator still killing the game.. hit play to see who! 

I got a secret love day dedication to you. It's something soulful and beautiful and I think you'll really enjoy it. 

Finally, we end off the episode talking about the stress that Black folks experience discussing slavery and our shared traumatic past, and how white people can be a better friend to their Black friends. Remember, it's always critical to consider the emotional and mental wellbeing of our Black friends. 

I'll try to be more about this show, I had to take a break y'all... and I go with the vibe. I never force the vibe - ya catch me? Alright!

That's a clicky buzzword, I like it. I'm running with it. ... No, but seriously. I'm hoping your year is off to a calm start. I know we're living in the era of madness and mayhem, but let these 38 minutes be a reprieve for you. Join me for some tunes and you know, our usual lovefest over shared music.

It's happening and it's here! It's really a gift to myself. I always said I was going to do a full Dru Hill episode and this is it. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year. I would apologize in advance for how hyper and extra I am during this episode, but I don't want to. I would apologize for singing with some of my favourite songs and worshiping at the alter of Sisqo and Jazz's runs. I'm not going to. Dru Hill to me consists of Dru Hill up until Dru World Order. Just a clarification. 

I hope you enjoy this and have as much fun with it as I had making it. 

Finally, I would like to thank you for rocking with me this year in 2020. I would also like to take these notes to wish you the best and hope that you have a magical and prosperous 2021.  I at least will hope that you get outside, that we all get outside, more than we did in 2020, a year that we'd like to forget.

Vibes from this past weekend and a song that I keep playing over and over again have got me thinking about how creative people are with their vocal cords. Do I have the audacity to make you sit through a near 10 minute masterpiece at the beginning of the show, you're damn right I do!  Which artist do I think is Björk-level creative? I know, I know, I should never compare but I'm just amazed at this artist's newest creation and it's stirred something inside of me that took me back to childhood and seeing Human Behaviour on television for the first time.. who am I talking about?  Lastly, a gem. I have an absolute gem to share with you that crystallizes the magic of the human voice and what it means to collaborate and to really develop a connection with others. I don't think you'd see this track coming.  As usual you can email me at [email protected] - I record this show on a baked potato so I will never apologize for it's DIY nature and incredible backdrops of sound pick up. Much love, mask up, stay safe.
