We go back to the 60s, 70s, and 80s once again today with my sixth (yes, it is technically the sixth since one had the subtitle 'Slow Jams') Funk, Soul & Disco Sessions. Any true lover of house music knows that, without this kind of music, house simply wouldn't exist. You'll be hard pressed to … Continue reading New Mixcloud Upload–Funk, Soul & Disco Sessions 5
The clue is in the title! In ascending order, here are the tracks I listened to the most in 2018 according to my phone’s music player. There isn’t really much I can say by way of introduction to this post, so I’ll just leave it here and hope you enjoy the tunes! 5. Sister … Continue reading My Five Most Listened-to Tracks of 2018
Once again, I was fooled, By the bringer of the light; They held a torch aloft, To brighten up my night. They assured me they were genuine, As they held me in embrace; I allowed the glow to fill my soul; To set smiles upon my face.

I … Continue reading Confidant (Flash Fiction)
(Lots of YouTube video links contained—you have been warned!) My recent break was really good for one reason in particular: my love for music that had taken a leave of absence came back with a vengeance. Writing had consumed me so much that my brain didn’t seem to have the capacity to appreciate music as … Continue reading Paul.E.Bailey’s World – Five Tracks That Were Remade or Sampled to Great Effect

Certain music suits certain moods, so some days … Continue reading Paul.E.Bailey’s World – Five Tracks That Make Me Happy

It’s a stubborn and stoic sense of self-esteem that’s often aloof in delivery. Great! I’m an … Continue reading Paul.E.Bailey’s World – How Much Is Your Soul Worth?
