I have a huge interest in music. It’s not an exaggeration to say that I am somewhat addicted to it and it ain’t getting any better. There is always music on at home. Actually, I hardly ever turn the stereo off. I more or less only listen to black music – both new and old – such as funk, disco, soul, rnb and afrobeat (some old school rap/hiphop as well). The last couple of year I’ve seen myself starting to complete my collection with older music and every now and then I find a group or artist that new or that I simply just missed before. Love these days…
I have a couple of places that I use trying to stay up to date:
- Mats Nileskär – P3 Soul
- Timbuktu and DJ Amato – P3 Hip-Hop
- Daniel “Papa Dee” Wahlgren – P3 Rytm
- Billboards weekly charts Hot R&B Singles & Tracks and Top R&B Albums
- R&B-categories at online shops such as CDNow and CD Universe
- Radio channels:
- SR Din Gata
- KJLH 102.3 FM (Los Angeles) och deras playlist
- Soul24-7.com (London)
- MusicMatch Jukebox radiokanal R&B Hits.
Favorite artist(s) and song(s):
I really want to pass this one. Too hard, but Luther Vandross will always have a special place in my music heart.
Favorite journalist:
Mats Nileskär, P3 Soul: No explaination needed. The man is a living legend.
Number of records (excl singles):
approx 450+ CDs and 40+ music-DVDs (still have a wet dream about creating a database for my collections)
