EDITOR‘S PICKS Music I‘ve had many people ask me, “What type of music do you like ?“ Below are some of my favorite artists of all time. FAVORITE BAND STEREOLAB FAVORITE DJ JEROME SYDENHAM PLEASURE FAVORITE GUILTY PLEASURE JAMES BROWN This band can really do nothing wrong. Stereolab have been called "one of the most influential alternative bands EVER"and one of "the most innovative British bands" and still 16 albums/ compilations later, almost no one in the general public knows who they are. If you were going to marry someone because of their talent, this man should be at the top of your list Born and raised in Ibadan, Nigeria, he was schooled in his teens in England before migrating to New York City in the early 80's to further his music interests with his family there. He is now based in Berlin, Germany running a stable of record labels including Ibadan Records as well as actively touring as a DJ and producing music. Jerome Sydenham landed his first DJ residency at the legendary New York hot spot Nell's in 1987, which featured cuttingedge DJs such as Miss Kier from DeeeLite. http://www.jeromesydenham.com/ (1933 – 2006) He was called THE HARDEST WORKING MAN IN SHOW BUSINESS and I think it would difficult to take this title from him. One of the founding fathers of funk music and a major figure of 20th-century popular music and dance, he is often referred to as "THE GODFATHER OF SOUL". In a career that spanned six decades, Brown profoundly influenced the development of many different musical genres. . Brown was honored by many institutions including inductions into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame. Brown is ranked seventh on the music magazine Rolling Stone's list of its 100 greatest artists of all time. Stereolab's music combines a droning rock sound with lounge instrumentals, overlaid with sing-song female vocals and pop melodies. Their records are heavily influenced by the motorik technique of 1970s krautrock groups such as Neu! and Faust. The band is currently on indefinate hiatus. www.stereolab.co.uk B OOKING B LUE B OOKING .
