Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers – Live at the Zone

Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers – <i>Live at the Zone</i>

Alternative-electronica has a leader in Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers. His latest album, Sacha Sacket and the LadyKillers – Live at the Zone, is a pretty unique recording – he recorded it at a Los Angeles sex club with his all-girl band. Now, it’s not what you think, this is not a Erotica type album. This album is extremely personal, introspective and gives a reflection of vulnerability that is uncanny in front of a live audience with a strong amount of sexual tension in the air in a venue that had few to zero boundaries or inhibitions.

Tamia – Between Friends

Tamia – <i>Between Friends</i>

Tamia Album Review
Michael Weaver, Jr. reviews:
Recently I had the privilege of listening to the album entitled Between Friends by Tamia. A small tidbit regarding Tamia is that she is married to the NBA Phoenix Sun’s shooting guard, Grant Hill. They were married in 1999 and in 2002, they had their first child. It would just be four years later that the duo would announce that Tamia had been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Since her appearance on Extra in 2003 where she revealed her illness, she has since came out in an interview with Smooth and stated that her disease is in remission and while she has symptoms every now and then, they are for the most in control. Last year, the couple welcomed their second child into the world.

Local Activist Stephanie Hart Speaks at Wilmington Against Prop 8 Rally

Local Activist Stephanie Hart Speaks at Wilmington Against Prop 8 Rally

Local activist and straight ally, Stephanie Hart, who spoke first in Wilmington, NC’s rally on November 15, 2008’s speech:

“I was not sure what I was going to say. And then late last night I was watching Henry Rollins speak in South Africa, and he also spoke with Desmond Tutu, and they brought up things that inspired me for today.

I quote his holiness, the Dalai Lama, “Ultimately, humanity is one and this small planet is our only home. If we are to protect this home of ours,each of us needs to experience a vivid sense of universal altruism. It is only this feeling that can remove the self-centered motives that cause people to deceive and misuse one another. If you have a sincere and open heart,you naturally feel self-worth and confidence, and there is no need to be fearful of others.”
