tight person of the day: nightmares on wax
So this DJ combines everything I love pretty much. He's got some pretty tight beats, some nice voice singing that soothes my soul, and ORGAN. I will listen to almost anything that has extended organ time. So when the Jonas Brothers finally release that blues/soul album, I am going to LOSE IT.
His name is George Evelyn aka DJ EASE. He is almost rocking some tiny vampire sunglasses in the pic above. He releases his music under the name "Nightmares on Wax." Basically, this dude is in the chill zone. I enjoy putting his music on while I am reading/using my Dirt Devil/moisturizing. It's just the perfect background music for almost anything. And it has ORGAN. So I want to share this song with you, and I hope you can put it to good use at some point over the weekend. TGIF!

tight person of the day: solomon burke
Solomon Burke has a knack for making me cry. I mean, this song I am sharing with you today is amazing. I want to film a dancing scene to a romantic comedy in some New York loft apartment to this song. I think you know what I mean.
Anywayz, Solomon is really tight. For one thing, he's one rare Tight Person of the Day that you could potentially still go see perform live. Another thing, he performs from a giant throne chair. Um, whoa. You can't make this stuff up. Solomon has recorded some really popular and well-known songs as well as dabbling in acting. And, hello, he has fourteen children and 90 grandchildren. I need to be revived. Just thinking about Christmas at the Burke house makes me nauseous. He must go to a High School Musical-themed birthday party every single day! He is still performing all the time though, even most recently at Bonnaroo this past summer. What a baller!
This song is so beautiful. How perfect would this be at a wedding? Or just played in my room while I drink my nightly medicine and have a good cry, nahmean? At any rate, I give this song my vote because he is singing two inches from the microphone. And FEELING it. Just like any good soul singer should.

tight person of the day: bo diddley
Bo Diddley is a huge baller, and went up to the rectangular guitar store in the sky just this June. So I want to honor him by bragging on him and sharing a song I like. Bo Diddley is one big ball of blues, rock and roll, and tightness. He was a freakishly good guitar player and songwriter. Pictures of Bo Diddley bring a smile to my face every time.
The tightest thing ever is that rectangular guitar. Who does that? Only a baller, that's who. That is some crazy stuff right there. You almost think your eyes are playing tricks on you when you look at that photo, which is easy to think when you have been drinking since eight a.m. Kidding! Did you know he came up with the rectangle idea when he landed on his guitar (which had a typical shape) and hit himself in the no-no place? Ouchers.
Bo had his first hit in 1954, which is insane. Just think how long he was in the bidness after that. Basically, any time I hear a Bo Diddley song I want to start singing at the top of my lungs, which might irritate others. So I'm going to let us share this moment together through song, but in our separate homes. Long live the Bo Diddley beat!
