Kiss - “Calling Dr. Love” - Rock And Roll Over. See my history with this album here.
The first recording I ever purchased was Kiss’ Rock And Roll Over in the summer of 1978. I knew I wanted a Kiss record and this was the most colorful one. It was a cassette actually, and it cost me $6.98 at K-Mart. I remember the cassette very clearly as it had a white case with a yellow sticker. I was in my basement the first time I pressed play on it. The studio version of “Calling Dr. Love” was especially catchy along with “Mr. Speed”, not that an 8 year old kid would know what either song was about. The first vinyl I ever purchased was Kiss Alive II, a double album. It took a while for me to save enough money to eventually buy Kiss Alive I which was the most expensive Kiss album at the time.

Platinum Pied Pipers Feat. Rogiérs - “50 Ways To Leave Your Lover” - Triple P. Cover day Friday is alive and well with this Paul Simon do-over (there’s actually two songs in there - bonus track from a bad rip, too lazy to fix it). Sorry I’ve been away.

Jimmy Castor Bunch - “It’s Just Begun”. RIP to the man who wrote the definitive b-boy anthem. To this day, you can drop a needle on this groove and b-boys and b-girls worldwide will come to attention. The intro horn line is like a call-to-arms for a breakdance battle, a warning sign for wack crews to leave the dancefloor and make room for those with juice.

Correlation Ventures said it closed an initial $165 million venture capital fund that will leverage its predictive analytics to offer entrepreneurs and lead investors co-investment decisions within two weeks. The fund was oversubscribed and ended up 10% above its target of $150 million.

I don’t get this.

So these guys contacted me last year and I was completely sketched out. This is as close to “dumb money” as a VC could ever be. They’re a bunch of Wall St quants who think they’ve got a model that “proves” an investment will be successful or not. Frankly, entrepreneurs should demand more from their investors than cash. Their oversubscription, in my opinion, speaks more to the stock market’s volatility and asset managers’ desperation to find alternative asset classes with attractive returns.

When the VC fund’s name belies the fact that its investment thesis isn’t causal but correlated, and it still raises a boatload of money, it signals that investors are willfully grabbing at straws. If I pick my nose and Facebook goes up on Second Market, can I sell you guys my future boogers?

Platinum Pied Pipers - “Act Like You Know (Rich Medina Remix)” - Triple P (Bonus Disc - Japan Only). My man Rich dropped a remix gem for the boys from the D a while back. Minty freshness.

Isley Brothers - “Harvest For The World” - Harvest For The World. Gorgeous music and message. I need to get my Isley Bros’ chamber in order. I’ve been sleeping. Though i must say, it’s really tough to match the beauty of this song with the gear these cats were wearing on the album cover, but hey, the 70s were a unique time. Right on soulbrother!

Bill Mize - “Funk 49” - Joyful Noise. Solo acoustic guitar arrangement of the Joe Walsh signature riff. Yeah man!
Lian Amber - “Wish You Were Here”. I wish she’d just release an album already. She’s so talented.
