Hip Hop and The Law of Attraction

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010
This song by Blackalicious is about living in the flow of life which is exactly what the Law of Attraction is. But in some ways it's more enjoyable to listen to this song and feel it than it is to sit around and think about it.

Remembering Dr. Dorothy Height, Key Player in Civil Rights Movement

Sunday, May 2nd, 2010
(See the video of President Obama as he delivers the eulogy of Dr. Dorothy Height) On April 21, 2010 I read of Dorothy Height in the Los Angeles Times. Height was called "the queen mother of the civil rights movement" and was the president of the National Council of Negro Women for 41 years. Sadly, the first day I heard her name was on the day of her death. Upon reading the article by Jocelyn Y. Stewart, I learned that Ms. Height was "Often the only woman at strategy meetings with the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and other leaders, she was a determined voice pressing the importance of issues affecting women and children, such as child care and education." Dorothy Height's "initiatives included training thousands of women --housewives, teachers, office workers, students -- to work as community advocates." I want to highlight Dorothy Height's life here because I think she leaves behind a powerful message of serving fearlessly and claiming your place in leadership. Her story is a reminder to me to keep my focus on the greater good and to continually do my part in creating positive change in my world even if that effort goes unnoticed or is unpopular to some. President Obama says it eloquently in his closing words of her eulogy, "Dorothy Height was a drum major for justice, a drum major for equality, a drum major for service. And the lesson she would want us to leave with today...is that we can all be first in service. We can all be drum majors for a righteous cause. Let us honor her life by changing this country for the better as long as we are blessed to live. May God bless Dr. Dorothy Height and the union that she made more perfect."

Michael Zampelli: Supplying Songs for Alternative Music Lovers Since the ’70s

Thursday, January 28th, 2010
If you're a regular reader of this blog, you've no doubt seen the song of the week by Michael Zampelli. What you probably don't know is that Zampelli has been supplying unique songs for alternative music enthusiasts for about 40 years. This week, I found a clipping from Billboard magazine on Google Books written by John Sippel in 1986 that mentions Michael Zampelli and his legendary punk rock record store, Zed Records. Zed Records opened in 1979 and remained a thriving Long Beach business and punk rock icon for 27 years. The store was especially known for bringing unique releases directly from the UK to Long Beach. During the surge of the punk movement, Michael Zampelli would travel to the UK with suitcases full of local punk rock releases. He would come back with suitcases full of punk rock from the UK. Zampelli was particularly skilled at servicing the needs of voracious music collectors. He carried limited edition releases such as a Devo single with 4 separate and unique picture sleeves and UK-only releases by The Cure on colored vinyl. The 1986 article about his store has two parts. Part two of the article is on page 43, not page 41 as Google has indexed it. The article mentions how DJ's from KROQ and KNAC discovered new finds at Zed and how the Zampelli's (especially Micheal and Marlene) formed family-like ties with punk and new wave bands such as the B52's, Dead Kennedys and The Misfits before anyone else even knew who they were. Michael Zampelli continues to search for and share new music by contributing a song of the week to the Get Galvanized blog. He also photographs live music and has recently captured images of acts such as Lil Wayne, Skinny Puppy, The Prodigy and various punk rock shows. Visit Michael Zampelli.com to see more.
