Otis Redding-'Shake' (1966)

I still haven't heard the new re-issue, Otis Redding & His Orchestra-Live on the Sunset Strip, that was released a couple months ago. I do long for it.....

I have the Stax/Volt Revue: Live in Norway DVD from 1967 that has the amazing Stax line-up (Mar-Keys, Booker T & the MG's, Sam & Dave) in its prime. That remastered and remixed recording sounds extraordinary. Headliner Otis definitely has the stand out performance that one would expect from this soulful master of R&B. It is truly a shame that he perished so young (at 26) in a plane crash that killed 4 others from his band.



Just listen to these guys play. Its phenomenal.

I once had this shit cranked way the hell up one day when I was living with my brother. I had just gotten superbligged out, and I let this financial advisor in that had an appointment with my brother and his wife. I was so wunked out that i didn't even turn the music down when i let him in and offered him a seat in the same living-room that was blaring. My brother was running late, so when he came home a few minutes later with a shocked look on his face from my oblivious blazed behaviour, he asked how this dude was doing, to which he replied in a loud voice, "Fine. We're jammin' in hear!". Maybe you had to be there.....

MIA-'Born Free' (2010)

I finally saw this video for the first time last night. My friend was telling me Saturday about MIA's new song in which she (big surprise) uses a Suicide sample as the main melody.

This is all old news now, but surprisingly this video was banned from YouTube. Personally, i find Strongman Ron much more offensive and despicable.



Maybe Suicide will become a household name now......yeah right!

Charlie-"Spacer Woman" (1983)

This track goes so hard. All I know about this song is Charlie is Italian.



"I don't want to hurt you, i just want to love you..."

The Pretenders-"Its a Thin Line Between Love & Hate" (1983)

I was looking for a Six Finger Satellite video to post this morning. I couldn't find a good one that allowed embedding, so here's an oldie but goodie....



I shouldn't have been so surprised to find out that The Pretenders' line ups over the years have included: (briefly) Johnny Marr and Andy Rourke of the Smiths; Bernie Worrell of P-Funk and Talking Heads; and even Paul Carrack of Roxy Music.

Daniel Francis Doyle might have been influenced by the drummer's sweet headset.

Glass Candy-'Feeling Without Touching' (2010)

I've been spending my free time alone watching early X-Files and Law and Order: SVU. What a waste- but mindless and entertaining. (Some of those SVU's are NASTY, dawg).

Here's a band i've wanted to post something by for a while. I never get tired of this electro-duo that's always on point. This newish track is a good one.....



Portland's Glass Candy is playing their only East Coast show this year in New York City with Mike Simonetti on Friday, July 2nd. Sounds fucking amazing. Let's go......
