that can't be new info for anyone that knows even a little bit about MJ and his career.

And it's not the whole album, they only have writing credits on human nature and played on a few other songs.

Fun Documentary, the older I get, the more I'm drawn to this style of music. McDonald and Cross seem like good hangs. Glad their talent got recognized and hopefully will live on.

I remember singing along to the audition montage in Sing, and when the snail sang, Ride Like the Wind, I had no idea that was a C Cross song until this documentary. But that's a fun YR jam.

I remember when that Christopher Coss album came out. Made a tape of it and we listened to that and coconut telegraph almost non-stop in the car on the way to S Padre for spring break.
You're from down South,
And when you open your mouth,
You always seem to put your foot there.

DJ Z-Trip just released this yesterday called "Yacht Rockin Beats". It's really good if you're into yacht rock with a dance twist:

Is your system connected through your tv? Maybe you can try it on a web browser if so.

I'm giving this a second listen now and it's actually pretty freaking great. I just got reminded of the time I went to a wedding in Montego Bay 20 years ago when Z-Trip mixes in the Jamaican guy saying "Bomboclat" in the first 5 minutes of this.

25 year old me was at this resort for four days high fiving all of the staff everywhere I went proclaiming "Bomoclat Mon!" thinking it was basically a way of saying hello.

Upon check out on the final day, I said it to the guy at the front desk and he asked me why would I say such a dirty thing to him. I asked him what he meant and he said it's basically the f word.

I replied "You mean to tell me I've been running around this resort for the last four days saying F You to everyone here?" to which he replied "Yeah mon". I'll never forget it. Whoops.

Yes, playing via web browser was the first thing I tried, however the media player in the website won't play via TV browser.

I was able to download the playlist to SoundCloud, then move to iTunes. I can play it from there via Sonos, however as soon as I (my phone?) leaves my local wireless network, it stops playing.

I haven't put any more effort into it than that.

Saw Christopher Cross open for Toto a couple of months ago in Sydney, so glad I got to see them while they're still around. Such incredible talents all around.

At first I was like, "Who are those two dudes standing around in the back?"

Then they emerge as the horn section ... and a darn good one, too.
