Goodbye, and good luck!
Leave a CommentFor the past two years, I have been trying to operate The Atlanta Sentinel as an alternative for local news and/or entertainment in Atlanta. It had been fun to do this. Unfortunately, I have not been able to secure advertising to keep this site operating, and I am currently developing projects with better profit potential. (Gotta eat!) For this reason, I am discontinuing this site. I would like to that the visitors who have supported this site. I will soon be launching a new project, Apartment467.com soon. Hopefully you will visit this site.
Again, thank you for the support.

Special Playlist: Songs Prince Wrote
He’s more than just a singer, The Purple One is also a songwriter as well! Here is some of his compositions.
“Nothing Compares 2 U” Sinead O’Connor
Music Monday: The Playlist (Ol’ School Edition)
Sorry that I have been quite lax about keeping up with this blog. Business and personal affairs have kept me from giving it the attention it deserves.
Earlier Playlists have been mostly about rock and alternative music. Today, I am kicking it old school. To you unhip cats, that’s the Dance/Funk jams of the 70’s to the 80’s. I got a few hot vids to get you up to speed. Then it’s on you to go to Itunes or You Tube to hear or buy these jams for yourself. Now, let’s jam!
Michael Jackson “The Way You Make Me Feel”
Imagination “Just An Illusion”
Yabourogh & Peoples “Don’t Stop The Music”
Earth Wind And Fire “Let’s Groove”
The SOS Band “Just The Way You Like It”
Want More…stay tuned!
TI Saves Jumper/ TV tuned to Chile Miners / John Pruitt Retires
As I write this, it’s 30 and counting Chile miners that have been pulled from a mine they were trapped in for more than 60 days. The world is trained on the rescue world wide, but at the evening rush here in Atlanta, attention was diverted to a man who threatened to jump from the 22 story Colony Square office building in Midtown. It just so happened that Tip Harris, (BKA TI) was in the area and he help to talk the man out of jumping from the building. WVEE FM is inside the building and DJ Ryan Cameron was reporting on the incident as it happened. WSB TV reported on it at 5pm.
It was also announced today that longtime anchor/reporter John Pruitt is retiring. He currently co-hosts the evening news on WSB TV 2 with Monica Pherson. He also worked for a time at WXIA TV.

The 52’s : Girl From Imapena Goes to Graceland
(Little known cut from Georgia’s own)
Artist Profile: Coldplay
Ether you love their moody piano-rock infused style or you don’t. But one thing can be said about this English band: There music has given them millions of fans around the world and have given the world numerous imitations. Their first hit “Yellow” would set the stage for a so far decades worth of dominance for this band.

HOW TO TRAIN YOUR DRAGON
THE TUDORS: THE FINAL SEASON
LADIES AND GENTLEMEN…THE ROLLING STONES! (Press description: “This legendary Rolling Stones concert film, shot over four nights in Texas during the “Exile ON Main Street” tour in 1972, was released in cinemas for limited engagements in 1974 and has remained largely unseen since. Now, restored and remastered, Ladies and Gentlemen makes its first authorized appearance on DVD.” In other words, it’s a badass!)
