Sunday Shoutin'

A little Tony Humphries spinning Brighter Days


Observations on last night's Sunday Shouting (Louie Vega, Tony Humphries, and David Morales at Webster Hall)

• David redeemed himself for his past musical indiscretions. He KILLED it with Inner City's "Good Life." Really got the crowd going.

• Hope the next one is at a bigger spot, it got crazy hot and packed.

• Mr. Tambourine Man was in attendance. Dude, you must be a great guy and all, but PLEASE!!!! no one asked you to remix the song with your instruments, duke. The songs sound great without the tambourine, or the cowbell. It's like when you go to see El Gran Combo or another band and there's like 57 cats with a clave. There is a dude ON STAGE with a clave, thanks but no thanks. Or maybe El Gran Combo put a listing on craigslist for claves? Whatever it is, PLEASE STOP.

• Louie killed it, but you already knew that.

• Didn't get to hear Tony too much cause it was getting way too packed and hot in there. I'm gonna have to trek to Jersey to experience some Jersey house, the only cool thing about Jersey (sorry, but it's true).
