At 61, Charles Bradley, Brooklyn-based soul singer, has finally made his debut release, No Time For Dreaming, with the Daptone all-star band, Menahan Street Band. No Time is a gutsy R&B record with killer grooves (thanks to excellent accompaniment of Menahan Street Band), full of immediate power and sincere, deep soul. Simply, it's a summer gem!

Welcome to The Boy Wonder's Bar-B-Q summer special! My favorite commercial Bar-B-Q joint has got to be Payne's, right off of Lamar Ave. in Memphis, TN. Pulled pork on a bun with cole slaw thrown on top, and there are two types of sauces: "hot" and "hotter." Beautiful.

One-man garage band NJ-based Bosco Delrey recently released his full-length debut, Everybody Wah, recorded in Memphis, TN at the infamously cool Easley-McCain Recording, released on Diplo's Mad Decent Records. The result? Throw T. Rex, slapback vocals, an assortment of dance beats, a cheap guitar, old synthesizers and a beat box, and put it all in an oddball (yet brilliant) blender; you have one hell of a debut. And it's damn funny to boot.
