The state of the single black female remains a hot topic (http://clutchmagonline.com/lifeculture/feature/media-hypnotized-by-the-single-black-woman/) and while my brother-in-tech, Anjuan Simmons (http://twitter.com/anjuan), has provided a formula (http://www.transmyth.com/blog/?p=570) for sistas to step their game up -- I'm sharing my knowledge with the brethren with SIX PLACES TO MEET WOMEN THAT YOU NEVER THOUGHT ABOUT. It wouldn't be a favecast without an informative, practical health update and uplifting tidbits to usher in a fantastic weekend (and beyond).

I struggled with how I would pay homage to such an amazing icon, amid the impending onslaught of Teddy P. tribute mixes and podcasts, without being redundant. Instead of dropping my favorite songs from the Teddy Bear, I'm inviting you to celebrate the magnificent torch of assertive soul that he held in the universe for decades. These featured artists are dynamic, strong and embody the potent level of passion indicative of Teddy's sound. It is a blend of veterans, newcomers, throwbacks and rarities from across the globe. This is my contribution to the well deserved respect and love going out to Teddy Pendergrass and his family. Enjoy.

In this edition we're wishing everyone a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year with a modicum of musical gifts :) With the success of the "Sadaxwell Edition" (thanks for downloading), I decided to drop a mashup of another dynamic soul duo. Lalah Hathaway has one of the most soulful, rich voices I've ever heard while Eric Roberson serves as a shining example of the indie soul grind done right. Their recent duet, "Dealing," is our generations' "Secret Lover" -- in its audible and visual delivery (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGsHCC09LmU). So my FIRST gift to you is two-fold: a special blend of my favorite Lalah and Erro tunes mixed by DJ Markus Gramm. He's an elusive brother, but i hope we all hear more from him in the twenty-ten ;) Lalah + Erro = Lalaherro [lay-luh-RO] for the holidays :) Be blessed and stay tuned for your other two gifts of the day!
