“Wind Me Up” Chuck needed to wind down by the time he arrived for an afternoon interview with me at the Washington Informer in 2007.
Brown had just spent the previous two hours pumping up a capacity crowd at a free lunchtime concert outside the D.C. Lottery headquarters on Martin Luther King Ave SE. Brown, “the Godfather of Go-Go,” chatted with me for almost two hours about his life, his legacy — and his relationship with my dad.

QuickCombo: SO 4 MORE | GO GO | SGMB
Listening links and my thoughts on this QC below the cut:
This was definitely an interesting set to create. Smeraldo Garden Marching Band has such a jovial/upbeat vibe but ya'll know me, I like to craft a little bit of a story with these combos while maintaining the pace of the songs. This combo demonstrates the lifecycle of a stereotypical idol singer. With So 4 More, they start their journey focusing on how much work they're putting in and where it's getting them. (Also don't confuse this track for the slower So 4 More BTS put together for their anniversary - I'm specifically referencing the version of So 4 More on Dark & Wild. Some performances call this song 2nd Grade).
We then move into Go Go with the critical look at how frivolous the lifestyle can be; focusing on fun times only and squandering time.
Smeraldo Garden Marching Band is the catalyst to point us right at the beginning of the cycle as the idol realizes why they are in the industry in the first place: the genuine love of the craft, the process, the people that support them. Just because it's lighthearted doesn't make it any less real.
