Flowink Review: "NY's Finest" - Pete Rock
March 13th, 2008

It's really difficult to review a Pete Rock release. Because i'm such a fan, that anything he seems to put his fingers on it a definite hit to me. So I usually have to play Devil's Advocate. I'm here to give others a review of the album. So let's give this a go...

EJ Flavors' Old School Wednesdays Mix: The X Mix
March 12th, 2008

I was in Austin, Texas this past weekend enjoying all that is SXSW, and I will be next there next year, be sure of that. Shoutouts go to all of the SXSW people I had a chance to hang with- there's absolutely way too many to mention. Since I'll be recuperating for the next week, or so, I had Xquizzyt1 fill in for me. So, for now, I present:

I must admit, I have never heard the Xena track, so it's always good to have little surprises here and there. No vocals on this mix, as there wasn't enough time to incorporate them in town- look for them on the next OSW and the upcoming In Rotation. Much props to Xquizzyt1 for this mix.

Flowink Review: "New Amerykah" - Erykah Badu
March 11th, 2008

Remember the first time you heard Erykah Badu's "On & On"? Remember the first time you saw here unusual, yet strikingly beautiful face? Remember the first time you peeped the entire "Baduizm" CD and it blew your mind? I hate to say it, but that's what I expect from Erykah: an album that knocks it out of the park every time. She's suppose to be the 'anti-diva'. I think that's the problem I had with "New Amerykah". It's not that it's a bad album. in fact, It's a great album. It's just not 'on par' with what i expect from Ms. Badu. FULL REVIEW HERE

 

Flowink Update: Growing Pains
March 13th, 2008

What's happenin', y'all.

It's your boy, The Big La here.

I just wanted to drop you guys a line and let you know that we're not done. We're still here and we're still pumpin' out the mixes. The website's just going through some growning pains as we've started to grow in scope, as well as listenership.

I've got a lot of emails from people wondering about the lateness and inevitably the abrupt stop to your monthly flowcast newsletter. The problem is we've had some major setbacks with the php automated distribution network. As our listenership grew, we started to come across a lot of technology problems, as only about a third of your subscribers were getting their newsletters. This has proven to be a much bigger problem than we expected. But fear not! We're staying on top of the problem. We are planning a mega relaunch in the very near future!

For those of you who really felt bad about not getting their monthly injection of music crack, we apologize. Rest assured, we'll be coming back bigger and better than ever! In the meantime, check here on a regular basis for updates to The Music Lounge, or browser the playlists archives to find your favorite mixes of old.

On again, we'd all like to thank you for your patients and support! We know you've got a ton of places you can go to find music online, and you choose to stick with us.

 



EJ Flavors & The Big La (of Flowink.com) added to the line-up For the 2008 "Cupid's hunt" podcast spectacular
February 14th, 2008

Here are the “FAQs” about the Cupid’s Hunt Podcast Event:

OK, so what exactly is “Cupid’s Hunt”?
“Cupid’s Hunt” (or CH for short) is a collaboration project of music podcasters and music fans in celebration of Valentine’s Day. On this day all of the folks who are participating have agreed to release and make available for download (MP3 format) a music and/or audio podcast with a Valentines Day theme. This year Valentine’s Day (February 14) is on a Thursday.

Why the name “Cupid’s Hunt”? What does *that* mean?
The name “Cupid’s Hunt” came out of a late night/all night brainstorming session on Twitter. “Cupid”, the symbol of Love/Valentine’s Day and “Hunt”, meaning to search for. When you put them together and apply the phrase to the world of podcasting you have a “search for music online”. Or, as the CH project has been subtitled: “Searching for Love Music… In All The Right Places!”

Oh OK, now I get it. How do I get involved with the Cupid’s Hunt project.
A3. Easy. Just make a music and/or audio podcast with a Valentine’s Day theme, good love, bad love, want love, hate love… it doesn’t matter, go where ever your creativity takes you. Once your CH podcast is finished we want you to post it online on Valentine’s Day, …
