After JSlow 6, I didn’t really have anything in the pipeline. With my son being born, I was buying less music so I decided to create a JSlow tape specifically focusing on one singer or group which meant I didn’t have to buy any new music to make the tape. I thought about doing Michael Jackson and Stevie Wonder, but for some reason, I went with Jodeci. Why? I’m not exactly sure, but I’d bet […]
