Blogroll highlight: Soul Sanctuary

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

As you can see my Blogroll is back. (I still have to do some pruning.) Normally, a link will enter and leave with little, read no, fanfare. But I have decided that I will highlight some of them, to let you know why they are here. Being that June is Black Music Month, I will start with a link to one of my favorites.

If you scroll down to the “Music Art Culture” section you’ll find the Soul Sanctuary link. (Be warned that this link has the flash intro that plays music, so if you are at work and don’t want your boss to know that you ain’t workin’ turn the sound down, or use some head phones.) Soul Sanctuary is a non-profit group that produces a podcasts and streaming broadcasts for various outlets. It has so many offerings now that has grown to 7 podcasts in one. That means on a single feed you will get all of these shows:

  • The Original Soul Sanctuary
    This is a weekly one hour show that showcases a variety of soul, hip hop, jazz, and spoken word. Here you will get current, and classic, and stuff that is nearly IMPOSSIBLE to find in any commercial outlet.
