Have you ever had a moment when so many things and events and situations happen all at the same time and you feel overwhelmed to the point where you just freeze and hide in a corner or somewhere so no one can see you?  Well, I don’t know about you but life can really get in the way for you to make progress and continue on with your journey to a good life both in the spiritual sense and the physical form.  This episode of the Overlooked Tracks podcast will focus on the mental.  Mental stability, mental greatness and mental peace just to name a few.  My name is Kenny Chiba and again this is the Overlooked Tracks podcast and we will start episode #47 with a band and a smooth soul singer telling a story of keeping it simple, keeping it special and keeping it pure because life can be rough and it may put you on your ass, but each of us have the power to get back up, dust ourselves off and fight for what you truly believe and love.

I said on episode #39 that I need to determine if another trip on the magical music bus is required.  That has been decided and I am staying my butt at the Genre Media Group Studios (our parent company) because it’s cold outside and gas is expensive for the moment because the world economy is getting back into the swings of things, but unfortunately many things have been rising in pricing. 
Then came the perfect music genre to celebrate the 40th episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast and this time we’re celebrating the BOOM-BAP sounds of TRIP-HOP.  Trying to find a good way to describe this music genre because most websites I found all stated the same thing:  Trip-Hop is dead!!  Just like other music genres from previous episodes, music is not dead unless the world decides not to hear it anymore!!  Well, I found six music artists that says otherwise - Trip Hop is alive and thriving and a reemerged form of the music is here to demonstrate its power.  Thanks to the masters of Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and DJ Krush (just to name a few), displaying the maestros of sounds, lyric and beats of Trip Hop.

We’re about to go in the opposite direction from the last episode of steady, rhythmic and bluesy to the HYPE, SERIOUSLY INTENSE and about to go HEAD-BANGER OFF SOME EDM or Electronic Dance Music and a sample or two of Techno (which is an element of EDM nowadays).  My name is Kenny Chiba and this is an Overlooked Tracks Moment.  Haven’t done one of these episodes in a while because it is SO MUCH MUSIC to cover all around the world, but it’s definitely needed to touch on some serious EDM.

We're gonna tell you right now, this collection of music for this 37th episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast is a most difficult episode, and I am know for sure there are some of the greats in Blues Music that will be left out of this list of blues music for the podcast.
After juggling for weeks on what to do with the selection, it was decided the best way to display this fine music genre is to give you a dab of what Blues Music is today – the foundation of great sound and give you again a portion on what Blues Music is heading.  If these picks are indication of the future of Blues Music, the music genre is in good hands. 
Once again, this selection is not a list of the greatest of all time, which is SO impossible to do and such a waste of time, but we’re just going to display a small sample of sound we believe you should get some interest in and see where the rabbit hole can take you.

The magical music bus is on its last trip to the areas of the Middle East and Central Asia and what was found was gold and it was an inspiring trip because of the experience gained from the three episodes broadcasted throughout the globe dedicated to the music being displayed by these artists.  Also learned so much history on the importance of music in this part of the world and what type of importance it has this current time. 
Though it took some digging into the music crates in order to find the music tracks, but again like I stated in the last episode, I am glad I did and that makes it easy for you to simply listen and adore.

Folk Music, like passing family traditions from generation to generation is genuine, pure, brings tranquility to the heart and soul and brings meaning to the human spirit.  Songs being handed down among people of community to share and of course to enjoy.  The world seems as though it is in chaos, but all in all it is each and every one of us possesses the power to change ourselves in order to change the things around us.
