V is for Video
With apologies to Sue Grafton. She actually called me one time. On purpose, too. We’ve spoken several times, come to think of it. Ah, but I digress.

If it’s Thursday this must be music.
My newest favorite musician on the planet is Kawehi. Yes, the same artist featured in last Thursday’s V=Video.

Music Day
V is for Video, and today is the Vth day of the week (for all you Roman numeral fans). Today we’re offering another 2-fer: one by an artist too young to drive, the other by dancers too old to drive. You’re probably going to like them both.
V = JB
This week’s V is for Video Thursday music video travels back 50 years to the legendary 1964 T.A.M.I. show (Teenage Awards Music International) in Santa Monica, California. This week’s release of the James Brown biopic Get On Up has again shone the spotlight on Augusta’s own James Brown, Soul Brother #1, the Godfather of Soul. The New Yorker this week …
When music meets medicine
That’s one possible way of looking at this mashup of electronica and surgery. Please note: do not try this at home. Lusine – Arterial from DaBrainkilla on Vimeo. On Thursdays we do music.
