Nile Rodgers @nilerodgers Reply Retweet Favorite · Open "Seen For the First Time" ft. @adamlambert PHOTOS Nile's comment on his blogpost.. such a sweet guy.. Today's post is interesting on many levels. CHIC was the very first album to be recorded in the world famous Power Station Recording Studio back in 1977. After a few decades of mega-successes the studio was sold and renamed Avatar, and it's still one of the greatest studios in the world. I use every time I get the chance. I think there's something cool about recording "Shady" in the exact place that I recorded CHIC's - CHIC, Bowie's - Let's Dance, Madonna's - Like A Virgin, Diana Ross' - Diana, Sister Sledge's - We Are Family and so on. They say, "there's mojo in certain recording studios!" I'm hoping some of that Power Station mojo rubs off on Adam. He's a talented dude and a genuinely nice person. I recorded so many hits in that studio that even an offshoot of Duran Duran, one of the many acts I did there, called themselves Power Station. Good Luck Adam! Peace and funky disco love -N Welcome Cherry!  |

Nile Rodgers @nilerodgers Reply Retweet Favorite · Open "Seen For the First Time" ft. @adamlambert PHOTOS I think I love this man. Of all the people Adam's ever collaborated with, Nile strikes me as the nicest one. He and Sam Sparro. Thanks for posting the fabulous photos, GellyYay, Anjalee!!! :D I almost forgot: NCOE No 50 on HAC Chart?         If I understood correctly, that was pretty fast? Yay!!! |

Anjalee, I'm sorry, I think I confused you completely with my advice. I advised wrongly. :(

Radio Aalto Finland plays NCOE - NOW!!!!  ETA The play was due to a phone wish by a woman who sounded middle-aged and knew about the new album, maybe one of us? The host said she will not play a ballad which made the caller a bit apologizing (no need to IMO). But the song was played anyway because the other host knew that the track has quite fast beat. After the play the host joked about that if this is your ballad it would be funny in a club when all others are dancing their asses off and you are just leaning and slowly shuffling your feet, lots of laughs followed. ;D And I was listening because I sent a written wish to them about an hour ago. So happy for the help of the caller! Now to listen to some other station and request... |

Peeps In honour of Adam's new video I did a little reading on Burning Man. There were somethings I hadnt known... According to one participant:Burning Man takes place on the "playa," an absolutely flat ancient lake bed whose fine, corrosive, alkaline dust seeps into everyone and everything.
30,000+ people plus attended this year. Before Black Rock City is built each year, there is nothing on the playa - no water, no electricity, no nothing. And, after the festival is over, the creed of "leave no trace" takes over.
So, Black Rock City comes from nothing, and then returns to nothing ... and in between, the most remarkable outpouring of passion, creativity, and partying that I have ever experienced, or, really, even imagined, takes place.
You might wonder: Is the Playa really as hostile an environment as some say? The answer is: Yup. In the middle of nowhere, a complete white out can make things even a few feet ahead impossible to see. You always have to carry water, and are wise to carry goggles and a mask.
What did I experience?
Amazing art, amazing people, a hell of a good party, and the great collective will and generosity that makes an ephemeral desert city possible.
See, Jeff also is the Creative Director of an intense nature mysticism event called Fire Dance. Bruce is a brilliant and kind evocateur of future philosophy.
The thing about Burning Man is that there is no money exchanged (other than for buying coffee, lemonade, and ice), and so there is an ethic of giving away everything to everyone on a constant basis. The article is here: www.burningman.com/blackrockcity_yearround/tales/jordangruber.htmlSo I'm thinking some of the words about Burning Man are: creative, futuristic, mysticism, enlightenment philosophy, survival, generosity and pay it forward, synchronicities, community/individuality, self-expression, miracles, moments, parties, music, food, connecting No wonder Adam loved it!!! |
