Episode 6 Summary

2008-03-04T11:37:00.000-08:00

It's getting down to crunch time! Tracks are being laid out rapid-fire and the albums are almost ready to become platinum. Everything is finally coming together...for almost everyone. Donnie keeps getting skimped on studio time and is falling far behind on track numbers. Even though Diddy compliments Donnie on his vocal improvement, Donnie worries that he won't be able to pull his album together on time. The final straw falls while Donnie, who finally managed to snag a couple minutes in the studio to record Beautiful Escape, gets the boot so Day 26 can do some work, instead. Donnie confides his worries to Aubrey, who encourages him to talk with the producers.

The next day, Diddy sets up a meeting in the studio between Donnie and Seven (music producer). Seven's unconventional habits and the smoke-filled studio strike up a good vibe, and Donnie gets excited about a new track But Diddy puts a damper on Donnie's good mood, telling him he doesn't think the track is a good fit for his album.

Meanwhile, Q is trying to bring romance into his and Dawn's 'just buddies' relationship. Aundrea tries to convince Dawn to give in and give Q a chance, but Dawn makes the excuse that she doesn't want anyone to get hurt. This outwardly tough girl gives everyone a glimpse at her vulnerable side later that night when vocal coach, Ankh Rah, pays a visit. The girls take turns singing for Anhk Rah, but when Dawn's turn comes, she can't make the connection that Ankh Rah tries to coax from her. He wants her to let everyone else in on what she's feeling, but she keeps her emotions bottled up. Q, standing just out of sight, sees Dawn shed a tear. Later that night, Q sits down with Dawn at the piano and helps her let her emotions out through music.

Luckily, events take a positive turn the next day. Donnie and Seven work off their positive vibe on the track, and record a song that everyone is happy and impressed with. Dawn, after a flirty game of mini-golf with Q, takes Aundrea's advice and gives Q a sweet smooch. Maybe Dawn can let her emotions carry her away, after all.

DAY26 Tracklisting

2008-02-28T12:09:00.001-08:00

From: Badboyblog

I was just sent the tracklisting for Day 26's self titled debut album, along with the tracklisting for the iTunes and Target exclusive versions. These tracklistings may not be absolutely final, but they should be pretty close. Here is the regular version of the album:

1. "I'm The Reason"
2. "Got Me Going"
3. "In My Bed"
4. "Silly Love"
5. "Come With Me"
6. "Co Star"
7. "Come In (My Door's Open)"
8. "Are We In This Together"
9. "What It Feels Like"
10. "Since You've Been Gone"
11. "If It Wasn't For You"
12. "Don't Fight The Feeling"
13. "Ain't Going"
14. "Exclusive (No Excuses)"

The tracklisting given for the iTunes exclusive version is exactly the same, except that it features three mentions of "Got Me Going". Besides one of them being the actual track, I will take a reasonable guess here and say that one of those is the video for the song. What's the other one? Who knows, it could be some sort of remix or it could just be a placeholder for an iTunes exclusive track yet to be picked.

The tracklisting for the Target exclusive version is the same except that there is a new track called "Just Should've Told You".

CTV.CA Interview w/ Brian

"Our sound is very reminiscent of what was going on in the '90s in R&B music," says Brian. "It's real singing. It's got real emotion behind everything right down to the last word." But like any apt pupils, the boys also credit much of their newfound sound to Diddy himself.

"Diddy's a cool cat, but he's also a perfectionist," says Qwanell. "He'll push you until you want to cry. Everybody needs someone like that in their lives. Even if you think you're great he'll push to make you better. That's why I admire him."

Conrad Dimanche - Producer

2008-02-13T11:21:00.001-08:00

Recite the name Conrad Dimanche with as much clarity as fresh clear water. “Rad” the tag that the dynamic music industry often addresses him by, runs the music executive game with the same flame as the Bad Boy foundation that he hails from. Rad, officially titled as the Senior Director of A&R for Bad Boy Entertainment, pounds the talent in a constant development arena like the platinum selling albums that he has produced for from a management perspective. Nothing about Conrad Dimanche implies that he was an overnight success since he first broke into the music industry in the early 90’s. Years of hard work, persistence, sacrifice, and commitment has undoubtedly brought him to where he is today.

From a young age, Conrad Dimanche always had a strong business sense working in his mother’s hair salon cutting hair and assisting her with business. At the age of 18, he managed and owned a barbershop. Being so young and inexperienced, Conrad’s barbershop certainly had its ups and downs but he was fiercely determined to make it work. In an effort to promote the business, Conrad began throwing parties at a local club where he hired D-life to DJ. Conrad proceeded to manage DJ D-Life and would persistently get gigs for him. As time went on he gradually picked up a few artists, while still running the barbershop. Conrad began to have aspirations that expanded beyond the walls of his small business. He realized that “you can’t be a player if you’re not fully in the game” so he decided to put all his time and energy into the music industry.

Conrad was so anxious to immerse himself in the music business that he started out as an unpaid intern at Bad Boy Entertainment. He had a grueling work schedule of 18 hour a day, 7 days a week. His work ethic and commitment was not in vain as he was eventually offered the position of production assistant, later to be promoted to production coordinator. Two years later Conrad was laid off and during that time he aggressively worked on building his own management company, Big Bang Entertainment. He managed Nashiem Myrick a Grammy award winning producer.

After being laid off, Conrad Dimanche was able to return and at this time he was given the title of “A&R Director” for Bad Boy Entertainment. He since has worked on more than 20 albums to date, including the chart shattering NOTORIOUS BIGGIE albums “Duets the Final Chapter” and “Born Again”, CARL THOMAS, P. DIDDY, 8 BALL AND MJG, LOON, B5, BAD BOYS 2 SOUNDTRACK, BLACK ROB and many more.

Conrad’s diligent work and ability to build strong relationships with others in the industry have propelled the success that he has today. He remains one of the most focused individuals by insisting that you should never, “get caught up in the glamour of the game, stay focused and always strive for perfection.” This attitude serves as proof that Conrad Dimanche’s promising future and desire for growth will undoubtedly catapult him to an even greater plateau of achievement.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America

2008-02-13T11:16:00.000-08:00

The first Club was founded in 1860 by several women in Hartford, Conn., who believed that boys who roamed the streets should have a positive alternative. It was for boys only, and soon other communities in New England decided that such places would be good for their young men. In 1906, 53 independent Boys' Clubs, as they were known then, came together in Boston to form a national organization, the Federated Boys' Clubs, and in 1931 they became Boys Clubs of America. In 1956, the group was chartered by Congress. To reflect its increased service to young women, the organization became Boys & Girls Clubs of America in 1990. In 1996, Roxanne Spillett, current president of Boys & Girls Clubs of America, was appointed to head the organization.

2006 marked the national organization's centennial; 4,000 Club professionals, local board volunteers and national staff celebrated this anniversary.

Boys & Girls Clubs of America has more than 4,000 autonomous local Clubs which are affiliates of the national organization. Clubs serve some 4.8 million young people – generally between the ages of 6 and 18 – through membership and community outreach, and are located in all 50 states, Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands and on U.S. military bases in America and around the world. Professional Club staff total some 49,000 worldwide.

Academy Award-winning actor Denzel Washington, a former Club member, has been the spokesperson for Boys & Girls Clubs of America since 1993. [1]

In its latest "Philanthropy 400" report, The Chronicle of Philanthropy ranked Boys & Girls Clubs of America number one among youth organizations for the 13th consecutive year, and number 12 among all nonprofit organizations.

Wachovia Spectrum

2008-02-13T11:14:00.000-08:00

The Wachovia Spectrum (formerly known as the Spectrum (1967-1994), CoreStates Spectrum (1994-1998) and First Union Spectrum (1998-2003) is an indoor arena located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Completed in 1967, it seats 18,136 for basketball and 17,380 for ice hockey, arena American football, indoor soccer, and indoor lacrosse.

A statue of Sylvester Stallone, depicting him in his famous role of Philadelphia boxer Rocky Balboa, stood for many years in front of the main (Pattison Avenue) entrance of the Spectrum which had been represented in the movie to be the site of Rocky's first and second fights with Apollo Creed. (The arena in which the fight sequences were actually filmed was the Los Angeles Memorial Sports Arena.) The statue was removed several times over the years to be used in the filming of sequels to the original film. In September, 2006, however, it was given a permanent new home in an area near the base of the steps of the Philadelphia Museum of Art not far from where it had appeared in a spot on the plaza at the top of the Museum's steps in the film Rocky III.
