Recollections of the King
In celebration of the Michael Jackson’s birthday, Couch Sessions writers are taking time to reflect on their first memories of the King of Pop. Michael would’ve turned 52 this year. My mom was a lover of music. She bought records and later on in life I bought tapes. So naturally the big entertainment table that [...]
Forever, Michael
I guess you could say that, Michael and I go way back like penny candies and Tahitian Treat…I grew up in a musical household my mother would play records daily –during chores, when she was entertaining friends, or just because. My very first memory of Michael involves me in a frilly dress, singing Jackson 5’s [...]
Butterflies, a reflection on Michael Jackson’s brilliance…
Michael Jackson is a musical genius. Those words are fact and will never be disputed. And of all the wonders that his genius unleashed upon the universe, none, to this author, may be more beautiful than his last major impactful sonic treatise, “Butterflies,” from 2001′s Invincible. At the time of Invincible‘s release, it must be [...]

Remember The Time
The Dangerous album was such a beautiful space in which Michael Jackson existed. He traveled the line of race & sexuality as America welcomed the ’90s: cross-colors & grunge, The Clintons & The Fresh Prince, gangsta rap & New Jack Swing, & the death of the cassette tape. In February of 1992, Michael Jackson, with [...]
A Stranger in Moscow…
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] It would take a book of sizable portion to truly document the impact of Michael Jackson’s legacy. To quote a very astute and eloquent colleague, “Michael Jackson was not supposed to happen.” You see, Michael Jackson was a deity. I do not offer that label without thought…in all [...]
The Prince of Pop
Thought it’d be appropriate that we each do a little tribute for Micheal Jackson on here. Personally, I wasn’t old enough to remember him in his hay-day but I have to admit, despite that, I became a fan of his music. Got into it through, none other than, the original Thriller album (which really belonged [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
