Chicago's very own “ Brandon James" is ready for success, and he wants you to know it. The r&b and soul singer is creating a strong buzz with the recent release of his video “There She Goes” on YouTube.  "There She Goes" is the title track for the two-track E.P released on August 3rd, 2018.   Links have been provided for the public and media to view the video for "There She Goes." Radio and media can receive a copy of the video or audio per request.  Chicago native Brandon James was born "Brandon James Foster". He states that he "started doing music as an outlet for depression early in life. I wasn't very popular in school and I was considered a latchkey kid due to my mother's work schedule and my father's battles with alcoholism." On a teacher's suggestion to find extracurricular activities, Brandon joined the choir. He finished the eighth grade with a determination to elevate his understanding of music and

Original article by  Bryan Farrish When talking to people who are launching their first couple of projects, invariably the same misunderstood points come up concerning commercial regular-rotation airplay. Here they are: DJs PLAY THE RECORDS: This only applies to non-commercial radio, and specialty/mixshow radio. The majority of people in the U.S., however, listen to commercial regular-rotation radio , and on these stations, the DJs have no say at all in what is going to be played (unless, in the case of a smaller station, the DJ is also the PD). So, the biggest pitfall to avoid is asking a DJ at a commercial station "Can I give you my CD for possible rotation?". The DJ is not allowed to say "No", and he/she is probably not going to explain that only the PD can approve regular rotation. The DJ is just going to say "OK". GOOD SONGS SPREAD TO OTHER STATIONS: Good songs (or for that matter, good programs) do not mystically spread to other stations.

How will the fallout effect Team Red as major title matches at Crown Jewel and WWE Evolution draw near? Find out on Raw, live at Monday at 8/7 C on USA Network. Big man fall hard Braun Strowman laid down the law to Dolph Ziggler & Drew McIntyre before their rubber match with The Shield: You mess up,you pay. Ziggler got pinned, and Braun got angry, but McIntyre had the last word, leveling The Monster Among Men with a Claymore after the titanic Superstar had flattened McIntyre’s fellow Raw Tag Team Champion with a Running Powerslam. The Scottish Psychopath notably didn’t help Ziggler to his feet after the confrontation — he just walked to the top of the ring and stared Strowman down — but it appeared a line in the sand had been drawn for Str

I have always been a Halloween movie fan. From the first time I saw John Carpenter's original when I was 12. Over the years I've seen many sequels and the the reboot. Also worth noting is Halloween 3, which had nothing to do with Michael Myers. Needless to say, the franchise has suffered a few terrible and confusing movies. Halloween Resurrection almost killed the franchise, putting Michael Myers up against Busta Rhymes. Rob Zombie tried but failed to hit the mark. He even took the iconic piano song out of his Halloween 2. You can't have Michael Myers without his theme music. In the latest edition simply titled Halloween, the franchise returned to its true form. The movie features the original stars who played Laurie Strode and Michael Myers. John Carpenter did the soundtrack and help produced the film. The movie intro is even spot on to looking like the original. I was hooked from scene one. Michael even returned to his original form as the shape. The movie felt l

Original article at - http://thebandcampdiaries.com/post/179136279187/joe-the-bluesman-ole-black-cat-joe-the-bluesman Joe The Bluesman - Ole Black Cat Joe The Bluesman is an artist with a really instinctive and intuitive approach to his sound. In particular, Joe has a special way to combine exciting modern energy with timeless rock and blues aesthetics. His most recent studio release, “Ole Black Cat” is actually a really exciting example of this and more. The song begins with a really cool, dark approach to guitar riffing, which makes me think of psychobilly acts such as The Cramps or Tiger Army, only to mention but a few. The haunting vocal delivery of Joe The Bluesman is particularly special, because it makes me think of The Stray Cats’ Brian Setzer combined with Glen Danzig (the Misfits), making for a really unique feel. If you like high-powered blues rock with an edgy vibe, this is for you! Find out more about Joe The Bluesman, and listen to “Ole Black Cat” via the follo

Raw stormed the screen this week with a star studded but lack luster show. For a while now WWE's staple show has been in the dumps with it's ratings. On top of that you have the company's plan to move into foreign markets more in full effect. The rumor mill spun out a story of WWE inking a long term deal with Saudi Arabia recently. Part of this deal was that WWE would bring back more of it's legends to perform. It's obvious now that WWE is playing ball. So here we are with another WWE raw overcrowded with aged out superstars trying to still shine. Don't get me wrong, I love HHH, HBK, The Undertaker etc. These guys were past their prime 15 years ago. Now there just old stars, old news trying to shine amongst the young stars. The point I'm trying to drive home here is this, WWE needs to move on. The ratings game is lame. Half of the world doesn't even watch TV or have cable anymore. I usually watch Raw on Hulu the day after or YouTube the night of.

You Tube is really gunning to become a top dog in the music & TV industry. The networks YouTube premium and YouTube TV services are now competing on the same level with Pandora and Netflix. YouTube premium recently hosted Eminem's Kamikaze album and Warren G's G Funk documentary. Warren G's documentary depicts a first hand account of the rise of G Funk music. The doc features footage and narration of the Dr Dre Chronic album recording sessions. Snoop Dogg's debut album recording sessions and Warren G's debut album recording sessions. All three records encompassing the G Funk music style. Of course all three records are now well known classics. As detailed in the documentary G Funk was derived from P Funk. The doc goes into great detail describing how funk music over the decades laid the ground work for G Funk and west coast rap itself. Today those records are classics and G Funk gave in to the modern industry years ago. Still it's nice to take a t

Venom is campy and creepy. Tom Hardy's portrayal of the Marvel villain is something to see. Hardy plays the character spot on with a mixture of comedy and melancholy. The voice in his head providing a dark and violent tone as the movie trucks along. I got to say, Michael Bay either was or should've been called in. If the movie would have had even one more explosion, it would have been the next Transformers sequel. It was overkill on the special effects and destruction scenes. The movie had a decent enough plot and Hardy's portrayal of the character to keep you interested. Venom reminded me a lot of the Tobey Maguire Spiderman movies. The film was dark but comical, a lot like Maguire's Spiderman films. It was a nice relief from the oncoming line of dark super hero movies. The irony here being that Venom is as twisted as they get. Overall this was a pretty decent movie.

Read The Original Article: http://thebandcampdiaries.com/post/178968475537/brandon-james-there-she-goes-brandon-james Brandon James recently released a stunning single and matching music video titled “There She Goes.” The track displays a really strong combination of old-school R&B, pop and even hits of rock, going for a very uplifting arrangement. Comparisons with classic acts like Al Green, James Brown or Bill Withers immediately come to mind, as Brandon and his band set out to really charm their audience with charismatic lyrics, catchy hooks and passionate performance values. The video is interesting to watch and really well-produced, acting as a perfect match with the song’s mood and style. There is a certain retro charm, which really defines this song. However, this isn’t a nostalgia act. “There She Goes” is a fresh track with a nice romantic vein and a really cool twist. This is definitely a great taste of Brandon’s talent as a vocalist, as well as the chemistry of h

Our father had declined a record deal in the 60s, believing that music could never be seen as a 'real'
