Suspicious Fire at Historic Sound of Philadelphia Offices

Describing the burned-out remains of their historic "Sound of Philadelphia" offices as "total devastation," legendary Rock and Roll Hall of Fame songwriter-producers Kenneth Gamble and Leon Huff held a press conference today to express their outrage and sorrow from seeing the iconic birthplace of Philly Soul Music ravaged early Sunday by a fire termed "suspicious" by officials.

Despite the extensive damage to the third-floor at 309 S. Broad St., where the Philadelphia International Records (PIR) offices and recording studio are located and the fire apparently originated, Gamble & Huff vow to rebuild their home of 40 years, a major tourist attraction where Michael Jackson, Teddy Pendergrass, Patti LaBelle, the O'Jays, Lou Rawls, Chubby Checker and dozens more created worldwide smash hits.

"Ain't no stoppin' us now," said the seminal R&B songwriting team, citing the title of the McFadden & Whitehead classic that was part of the Gamble-Huff/PIR music machine which generated over 100 Gold and Platinum records and over 70 #1 hits, including "Love Train" by the O'Jays, "Me & Mrs. Jones" (Billy Paul), "if You Don't" Me By Now" (Harold Melvin and the Blue Notes) and "Enjoy Yourself" by the Jacksons.

"Our space has been violated by someone who chose to set fire to it," said Gamble & Huff in a joint statement. "But what's most important is that we will build it again and continue to rebuild. Nothing is going to stop us." - more on this story

Solex vs Cristina Martinez & Jon Spencer To Release Album May 18

Punk rock royalty Jon Spencer and Cristina Martinez have joined forces with Dutch electronic heroine Elisabeth Esselink, aka Solex, for the most exciting collaboration/confrontation since The Jetsons meet The Flinstones. Imagine if you will, a fisticuffs of funk, garage and soul between Captain Beefheart and Ike & Tina, with a sprinkling of hip-hop courtesy of Mike Ladd.

The triumvirate have created a sonic dilemma with Amsterdam Throwdown, King Street Showdown! Do you listen or do you dance? Whichever, you'll have your shrink on speed dial as you contemplate whether it mocks Jesus to have this much fun, what with the apocalypse being just around the corner and all.

Amsterdam Throwdown, Kingstreet Showdown! kicks off with the sugar-fix that is "Bon Bon", a dirty, funky bastard of a concoction, complete with strings. "Galaxy Man" is an outer-space go-go party with Link Wray's corpse! "Dog Hit" is a tale of irresponsible pet ownership, as if told by sexed-up and AWOL philharmonic orchestra members on MDMA! "Aapie" is a tribute to our ancestry and invites us to unleash our inner monkey! As you can see, there is something for all tastes. - more on this story
