Text of the page (random words):
pathy arista records 1983 even though al jourgensen has consistently disavowed his contributions to the official release of this his debut album under the alias ministry it s hard to hate any exercise in post depeche mode synthtastic lack of inhibition particularly when the songs are as catchy as this come on al editing quirks notwithstanding this is the fucking schnizzle juvenile sex metaphors about working overtime aside everything about this song pleases me choice beats creep tastic synths angular guitars even al s faux british accent does the job short of the dark ambiance there aren t really any indicators of the brash direction his music would take in the coming years but that sharply removed distance only adds to the appeal of these primitive musical excursions for me anyways posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 6 59 am labels 1980s new wave synth pop i am the black gold of the sun from the lp nuyorican soul talkin loud records 1997 no discussion of american house music would be complete without focusing the microscope on nyc and in particular the masterminds known as kenny dope gonzales little louie vega rulers of the 90s beats scene under many monikers most notably as masters at work including this eclectic side project which focused on live instrumentation as opposed to knob twiddling dubbed nuyorican soul from the insistent piano atop those loose breaks to the epically sweeping string section to the chorus of angels vocal delivery care of renowned disco diva jocelyn brown and some bad ass backup singers this track absolutely showers the listener with a torrent of sunny uplifting energy and it garnered an awful lot of attention upon it s release not to mention a slew of remixes in every conceivable genre of electronica this was actually a cover of an old rotary connection number from the early 70s far more psychedelic in tone than what we have here well worth tracking down also posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 6 54 am labels 1990s breaks downtempo jazz funk 28 january 2011 fire in cairo from the lp three imaginary boys fiction records 1979 f i r e i n c a i r o the recent revolutionary fervor in tunisia which i was referencing a couple weeks ago has now spread like wildfire into egypt with its largely college educated population now equally at the end of their rope from decades of bureaucratic corruption and high unemployment indicating the powder keg potential of any successful revolt in the middle east to snowball quickly across the region most notably to my sociological nature anyways is the fact that in both countries the catalysts for these masses of people taking to the streets were in fact single acts of self immolation echoing the protests of buddhist monks in vietnam over forty years ago forever emblazoned on the cover of rage against the machine s debut album this is a new tool of protest in the arab world however and something about its silent yet visceral impact has clearly struck a nerve with the people there how could it not is there any more striking or profound display of dissent and absolute psychic exhaustion than lighting oneself on fire many experts agree that mubarak is far less likely to just leave the way ben ali did and there are already reports this morning of widespread internet and cell phone outages around large egyptian cities so we very well could be in for a longer and perhaps bloodier situation than we ve seen in tunis let s just hope that whatever power structure results gives the egyptian people more freedom not less posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 5 59 am labels 1970s alt rock post punk progress from the lp progress phonogram records 1975 existing somewhat in the shadow of one time collaborator fela kuti s ghost drumming legend tony allen is arguably every bit as responsible for the construction of what we call afrobeat as was fela generating chunky rhythms from the vibrations of jazz funk highlife in such an addictive manner that it hypnotizes the listener entirely and thus we never seem to notice how long most afrobeat songs actually are allen was beginning to grow tired of fela s unceasing narcissism by the mid 70s but had his support in this and two other solo endeavors from that time period which allowed allen to utilize much of their well rounded backing band the africa 70 tony allen has enjoyed a resurgence of stature in recent years being asked to collaborate with some notable musicians of late including jarvis cocker damon albarn and the french space synth crew air i dedicate this post to the brave people of tunisia egypt may your valor set you free posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 5 57 am labels 1970s afrobeat world in complete darkness from the 12 single uphoria records 1993 one of the first raves i ever attended was a tiny gathering of 200 kids in the woods of northwestern massachusetts during the early fall of 1993 put on at a time when parties were just beginning to get a foothold in the american psyche and it was abundantly clear to many of us that this was gonna be our shot at experiencing something similar to what the generations before had done with acid tests i remember this track getting spun not the beginning of it so much but the moment that sample from janet jackson s rhythm nation dropped into the floor s conscience there wasn t a single blasé expression in the place this was our childhood remixed repackaged virtually re imagined as mdma s clarion call unto a shared vision of empathetic unity in complete darkness we are all the same it is only our knowledge and wisdom that separates us don t let your eyes deceive you being from florida and proud of the fact that i d already been into beats for a couple of years prior i marched boldly up to the booth and asked the dj what this track was and after getting a gruff reply i figured i would try to impress him with my knowledge of breakbeats so i requested that he spin smart e s sesame s treet big mistake this dude turned to me and said something like sorry man that cut is way too mainstream ouch i recoiled and slinked away feeling decidedly un cool for the next couple minutes but i never forgot the name of this amazing track posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 5 55 am labels 1990s breakbeat electronica fascinated from the 12 single the summer records 1986 guilty pleasure alert seriously people i recognize that some of the stuff i post on here must give you pause like is this cat for real yup he sure is i can t help it that a lot of the music which filled south florida airwaves in the 1980s would have been considered heresy in many other parts of the country as that was all i knew at the time embossing itself upon some of my happiest memories this upbeat number is precisely one of those cuts not your average freestyle track thanks largely to that pulsing 4x4 beat underneath all those luscious synths and synth claps this song was recorded in hialeah right outside miami ghe tto by producer ish ledesma having become such a sensation at clubs on local radio it wound up getting national distribution through atlantic records and became a 1 hit on billboard s dance chart the year after its release posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 5 52 am labels 1980s freestyle synth pop 24 january 2011 black sabbath from the lp black sabbath vertigo records 1970 i will never forget the first time i heard this the self titled opening salvo from what was to become the world s foremost dispenser of doom laden rock right about the point where we are confronted with the big black shape with eyes of fire telling people their desire satan s sitting there he s smiling watches those flames get higher and higher my typically unfazed adolescent mind became flooded with epinephrine endorphins seemingly released in time with my suddenly racing heartbeat nearly echoing ozzy s sentiments no no please god help me granted i was listening to it on headphones alone in my room after having smoked a couple bowls of schwag but for a blazing moment no pun intended the boys in sabbath literally made me feel satan s breath on my fucking neck shit everything about these guys was scary as all hell from their name to their gloomy ambiance and even that green tinted witch on the album cover still terrifies me a little of course now being old wise boring see not believing in pointy tailed monsters who live in the core of the earth the content doesn t pack the same creepy wallop but the visceral impact of their music absolutely does whether it s the molasses slow tempo of the song s body or the monstrous riffage of that insane breakdown about 4 35 into the track this song and indeed the whole lp marked the true beginning of heavy metal in my humble opinion anyways posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 10 30 am labels 1970s classic rock hard rock heavy metal i o u from the 12 single streetwise records 1983 if you grew up in the 80s and aspired to be cool the cult classic film beat street was a definite must watch not as fresh as wild style but not quite as hokey as breakin all genuine efforts to get the word out about then new underground cultures which had arisen on the coasts sex kitten and daughter of stoner guru tommy rae dawn chong had all of us captivated by her exotic looks and sassy flair but like the other two above mentioned films the dank music was the real star here the only reason british electro jazz funk crew freeez had a song in there was due to this number s producer one arthur baker of afrika bambaataa fame who gave this slinky cut just the right amount of edge to be enjoyed by both mainstream clubbers and hardcore pop lock ers alike thanks to a remixed re release in 87 this track was somewhat ubiquitous on urban radio throughout the entire decade and appreciatively so posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 10 24 am labels 1980s electro post disco synth pop nothing but a heartache from the lp nothing but a heartache deram records 1969 maybe it s just me but nothing gives a lift to my chin puts the pep in my step like a hot dose of soul music and this striking mid tempo cut by unsung trio the flirtations is one of my favorites recorded in london by way of a nyc talent contest these gals actually hailed from south carolina originally willing to follow the promise of success wherever it took them and you can believe that swinging london in the late 60s would have seemed like another planet relative to the american south at that same time let alone nyc that devotion to a career meant they would abandon this majestic style of soul in the 70s when disco rose to the fore but it s these brass heavy behemoths that really slay me to the core i ve got a lot of those heartaches i ve had a lot of those teardrops posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 10 17 am labels 1960s soul 20 january 2011 raspberry beret from the lp around the world in a day paisley park records 1985 the song that took berets from second hand stores to the racks at macys remember that shit this smoking hot number captured my imagination and if truth be told my heart from the very first time i watched the weird music video for it that psychedelic sky blue pantsuit with clouds across it that he was rocking was fucking incredible it s the string section that probably hooked me so hard and those cellos still command my attention whenever this song is playing surely evidence of his fascination with the beatles at that time the whole thing sounds a bit coy coming from prince the guy who had brought us determinedly lewd tracks like sister soft wet little red corvette before and i think that might be exactly what works for him here it s kind of a sweet song considering the source granted relative to the rest of the pop music community lyrics like she e e e wasn t too bright but i could tell when she kissed me she knew how to get her kicks aren t exactly milquetoast posted by jollyherb greenthumb at 12 42 pm labels 1980s neo psych new wave country road from the lp uphill all the way transatlantic records 1971 my friends would tell you that i talk a lot of shit on james taylor sure love you ms kate and it s true every fucking song that guy writes is the same goddamn tune and not in a cool way like van morrison but in an annoyingly practiced way that makes it very hard for my mind to accept him as either cool or enjoyable to listen to let alone even conceive of this guy shooting dope i know it s not a made up story but seriously can you imagine james taylor asking you where you keep your sharps in all honesty though a few of the variations on his monotonous theme are fairly agreeable but his voice aggravates me to no end so i found a rollicking cover of this breezy number by the stellar criminally unknown uk crew unicorn yes weak name but don t hold it against them the vibe is positively laurel canyon so it s kind of a shocker to picture them laying these tracks down across the pond with the help of one david gilmour no less any

as theirs are these first few days back after the break it s true right now it is snowing like a motherfucker outside low visibility yard disappearing into a blanket of snowy ash kashing bowls at the

so it just feels right oranger hails from the bay area and the vibe of that city has definitely imprinted itself onto their brand of whimsical psych tinged indie rock pulling off reasonably difficult
