Willie Taylor's 'Sextape' leads new music post
2010-02-15 01:11:00 Willie Taylor - 'Sextape' [MIXTAPE]Features 12 NEW Tracks!The big day of R&B continues as a couple big names drop some new mixtapes for Valentine's Day: Willie Taylor (Of Day26) and Chris Brown. The Chicagoan Willie Taylor does his thing on 12 new tracks for the project that is bluntly titled 'Sextape'. Simply put, the overriding theme is bedroom music. Willie sets the mood for fun under the sheets over beats he co-produced. He also wrote all the tracks, which obviously creates an added level of authenticity. My favorite track on there is "Bedroom" - an instantly catchy slow jam. Overall, the tape definitely succeeds and is perfect for what it's aimed for. Willie didn't even have to use autotune as...
In the Raw: Willie Tee
2010-02-08 01:30:00 The story of Willie Tee (née Wilson Turbinton) and his various keyboards, pianos and organs begins in the same projects that the Neville Brothers called home. And while that duo would go on to distinction in a variety of settings - most importantly the Meters, of course - Willie Tee spent the entirety of his career working towards recording more than regional hits. Beginning his career while still in high school during the early '60s, partially thanks to the advice of a band teacher, Tee's recordings perpetually made use of a variety of genres: jazz, blues, soul and NOLA party tunes. It would make sense that considering the confluence of music Tee would be able to achieve some sort of...

The Fans Corner#2-The PSL Commentary
2008-09-13 20:12:00 The Fans Corner#2-The PSL CommentaryBy Willie ?The Pizzaman? Mariano for Football Reporters Online As another opening day approached for my football team. The only football team I have faithfully rooted for since my birth. Check that, since the womb. Whether it be the two and twelve seasons of my youth gone bye. (and there were more of those then I care to remember) or as defending Super Bowl Champions yet again. (The third in my 46 years) I found myself missing something. I had a feeling that I have never experienced in my life. You have to understand one thing folks. My Dad, like almost all Big Blue diehards has had season tickets for years and years. Dear ol' dad since 1954. My brother and myself, since 1976.That is five decades and three decades respectively, and then some that we have bled blue. It was taught to us right along side of always being proud to be an Italian American or a God fearing man who is morally sound and respectful to all of mankind. Like bathing. Like eati...

Willie there's no excuse for leaving Heilman in
2008-05-31 04:05:00 Well the Mets started out with the same fire they had in the last three games but it all fell apart for the Mets. John Maine once again didn't have his best stuff but limited the damage to four runs, the Mets would battle back three times to finally take the lead 5-4 in the seventh. The way this bullpen has been pitching and as bad as the Dodgers are hitting I thought this game was over. Leading off the eighth Pedro Feliciano was robbed of an out on a bad call at first and Willie opted to go with the righty Aaron Heilman.I have no problem bringing in Heilman especially after his last two outings but Heilman clearly didn't have it tonight. I am sick of Heilman's inconsistency and hope he's part of a trade by the deadline, his bad out weighs the good at this point. I believe he'll go on to be an above average pitcher but I think he has a bit of Kenny Rodgers/ Carl Pavano inability to play in NY syndrome going.But it was Willie who killed any chance of the Mets winning tonight, Wi...

Has Willie lost the clubhouse
2008-05-24 19:40:00 Bob Klapisch of the record reports on how the front office views Manger Willie Randolph. If his source is correct Willie's tenure is almost over and it sounds like they believe he has lost the clubhouse. Since it's become blatantly clear that Willie's on the hot seat the team hasn't exactly played intense baseball to show their support for their beleaguered leader. It looks like most would welcome a change. You can no longer tell people to move past the '07 collapse' because it was never stopped, this is simply a continuation of last year's team wide slump, last night is a perfect example of a team finding ways to lose and sitting back on their heels waiting for the shoe to drop. I think they need some new blood and direction to lead them out of this funk..........Some insiders believe it's already a lost cause, as one higher-up said, "I think Willie's being tuned out" by the players. As much as Randolph damaged his relationship with Fred and Jeff Wilpon with his comments a...

Willie, Manuel and the call......
2008-05-19 16:21:00 First let me start by saying what a great weekend to be a Mets fan, I don't know, sometimes they say you have to hit bottom before you can get up. Billy Wagner's comments which in no way could/should be misconstrued to insinuate anything racial may have pushed this team over the edge. You could say it doesn't hurt to be playing a last place team, but this isn't any regular last place team and last I checked the Nats were in last place also. The team looked like it finally got it's wake-up call and played like we all have expected them to; good pitching, solid defense and timely hitting..... So in a city that thrives on controversy and can't accept success, the Delgado home run is the drama of the day and how Willie handled it. It's plain and simple the ump blew the call, he admitted as much after the game. Two things to say about that, don't over rule a call unless your absolutely sure and have an ump in the booth with an ear piece to home plate ump as a type of instant r...

It appears Willie Randolph may be in trouble with Mets
2008-05-17 17:44:00 Because of their low-watt personality, it's hard to know if the manager is truly part of the problem with this team these days, as the New York Mets continue to slog along as underachievers wrote New York Daily News baseball columnist John Harper. But we're about to find out. Thanks to the fallout from the jabs Billy Wagner took at his team on Thursday, Randolph's job security is a front-and-center media issue. The perception, whether true or not, is that he could be in trouble now, and the players are all too aware of it. So how they respond should tell us a lot about whether the Mets are in a state of crisis, complete with a fractured clubhouse, or merely a state of malaise for which the cure could be as simple as Jose Reyes getting hot. If these Mets are capable of turning it up a notch, and if they care about their manager at all, they have to know that now is the time. More lifeless and unfocused play, the kind that was on display at Shea against the Nationals this week, wil...

Why Heilman.... Willie what are you thinking
2008-05-15 04:11:00 This game should have never come down to the seventh inning, but it did. Once again the offense wasted a great performance by a starting pitcher, this time it was new comer Claudio Vargas who went 6 1/3 allowing just two runs on 3 hits, 4 BB while striking out six. Against a last place team once again this offense has struggled way more then it should, tonight it had a pathetic six hits and scored three runs. So far in this series against the last place Nationals who have the worst batting average in the league and have the lowest runs scored totals, the Mets have scored 13 while the Nationals 18.So onto tonight's game the teams entered the seventh inning tied 1-1, in the top of the inning Claudio Vargas struck out one and walk another batter. Willie decided to pull Vargas after he walked the batter and was at 100 pitches, I know some will second guess pulling Vargas but I have no problem with that decision. What I do have a problem with is bringing Aaron Heilman into a tied game, ...
