Saw Van Hunt Live This Weekend! This brotha put on a pretty good show. I do believe that he catered this particular set to his rock-oriented fans (judging from the venue and the audience  ). Nevertheless, he got down and did his thing. Even incorporated EW&F's "Got To Get You Into My Life," Ohio Player's "Sweet Sticky Thing" and the synth hit from Prince's "Head"  | |

Isn't that the BEATLES "I Got To Get You Into My Life"? or did he do it the way EWF did it? Just nitpicking here... The Last Otan Track: www.funkmusician.com/what.mp3 | |

That brotha kinda sounds like Smokey Robinson a little. He's got a nice little style going on. I caught him on Soul Train. He said he plays all the instruments on his record. How long before the "Van Hunt will never measure up to Prince threads start? 10...9...8...7...6...5... | |

Where were you sitting/standing at? Damn!!! That must've been why he left the stage so quickly after he finished playing "Highlights." Do you know where the afterparty was? Anyway, I was standing up against the wall (by the tables/chairs) towards the front of the stage. Awesome show! | |

I just noticed that Wendy's name is in the liner notes under the songs Precious and Hold My Hand and Randy Jackson's listed as the Exec. Producer. What's up with that????? "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

Yeah, Randy "American Idol" Jackson is his manager. Wendy was playing rhythm guitar on those tracks. Here's a breakdown of his songs and their meanings... http://www.thepros.com/capitol.html | |

I really respect Randy's talent, the man is a BEAST on the bass and anyone who could deny that is a brain-dead twit. He did a Jazz gig back in the mid-90's with Lenny White & Patrice Rushen in some Jazz Juke Joint in Harlem and trust me when I say he was smooooocking that sucka to dusts. Won't hurt if I said he's an amazing producer too | |

You know, the part about his dad bein' a  and hearin' strange noises come from behind closed doors and all? It's even on the interactive video thing that's on his CD. It's even repeated, in part, in the beginning of this link u gave.  "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

I, too, am trying to figure out why he was so obsessed with hearing his dad bone some chick. Just the thought of my dad doing that makes me want to | |

Just the thought of my dad doing that makes me want to me 2. And from the looks of it, my dad and his dad should've been best friends, but I'm not exactly cherishing those memories. Did you see VH's wife there? I heard she was the chick sellin' the CD's in the back. What were u wearin'? "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

I was wearing a black leather jacket over a Hendix shirt with a black Braves cap. | |

I was trying to figure out what song that was he came out on? Do you know the name of it? Kinda had a Curtis Mayfield-type vibe to it. | |

Kinda had a Curtis Mayfield-type vibe to it.(you're talkin' bout my gurl. She had the xpensive cam. I'm the cheapie in the group! )
Anyways, I don't remember the first song. I do remember that he went into Anything, HIghlights, Precious and Down Here In Hell. (not neccesarily in that order) Anything past that, I don't remember. ( I have a tendency to block stuff out. Really. Whole entire periods of time. Just lost to my black hole memory.) BTW, did you hear the blatant steal on track 3? If that intro isn't from SOTT, then I'm deaf, dumb, and blind! Incidentally, #3 is my daughter's favorite track. My fave's are #4 and #10. I get all gushy.... "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

on a side bar. I heard VH is gettin' screwed by Capitol Wrekas. I'd hope not.
Also, his video for dust is featured on mtv.com today. http://www.mtv.com/music/soul/ And one more thing: Thank you, VH for letting your hair grow back out!!!! The bald thing was aging you daaaahling. And letting go of the turtle neck was a plus, too. Besides that small, insignificant stuff, the video on the CD was better than the Dust vid, by itself. If he had did the dust vid combined with the snippet deallie on the CD, I'd a been a happier camper. But in this case, I'll settle for what I can get. "Pedro offers you his protection." | |

Incidentally, #3 is my daughter's favorite track. My fave's are #4 and #10. I get all gushy.... You mean "Hello Goodbye"? No, I don't really hear any SOTT ripoffs there. What part(s) in particular are you referring to? If anything, I think his music is more along the lines of Sly during his There's A Riot Goin' On days. However, "Hold My Hand" does sound like a Prince track circa Dirty Mind era (probably moreso because Wendy is playing on there )
My favorite tracks are "Dust," "Anything (To Get Your Attention)," "What Can I Say," "Hold My Hand," "Out of the Sky" and "Hello Goodbye"-namely because of that funky wah-wah bassline during the chorus.  | |

I think he listens alot to Shuggie Otis, his blusey guitar riffs echos Shuggie's work(and Johny Guitar Watson's too) | |

"Hello Goodbye" is the one I'm talkin' about. Right from the 5 second mark to the 10th second. It's the same as one of P's interludes on the SOTT DVD. (I think P used it as a scene change/interlude. Remember? That's where there's some horns that blast that sound like a train, and then the scene changes to show all of those tacky neon signs.) "Pedro offers you his protection." | |
