(bernie voice) In my view... to "lay some pipe" can serve... as a euphemism both for sex, and, let's not forget, taking a dump, and in cases such as these... context... is everything. (huge audience applause)
I had a DJ gig a few weeks ago at the Japanese ambassador's residence for the Iceland-Japan Society so I dug out my city pop jamz which I hadn't listened to in a while.
A lot of the city pop records are super hit-and-miss but I found that this ("Misslim" by Yumi Arai, later Yumi Matsutoya) is a really solid listen throughout. Love her vocal style and laid back vibe. It's a bit too early for the city pop label perhaps, more folk mixed with funk.
Was on a Rendell/Carr trip in the Summer. I think it was seeing this and teleporting mentally into the field and just really getting the late sixties, 3:30PM August Dapper Scarecrow vibes. You know what I mean.
Right now it's...
Bass spectrum is massive on this. Forget about merely knocking - Like being inside a cathedral when the Vikings are battering the door. If you have gringdonkleous bass on your system, let me know how this goes. Changes darker after the vocal. Has to be the LBB Emerald Japan mix. Mmmmmmmm.
makes me think of a really real tribute mix jon sikich put together when shadow dropped the album - it was full of drums and other samples/vibes. he was sharing it with some nice handicraft packaging at the time. i'm going to try to find my copy....
getting a lot of requests from my 2 year old for 'twinkle twinkle little star' and 'wind the bobbin up'. realized i don't know many kids songs, and know precisely zero of the gestures/actions you're supposed to do to them. that's my music life at the moment... oh yeah and this:
Shawn Lee is great. I've been a fan since someone gave me a copy of the Ping Pong Orchestra "Moods And Grooves" for free way back.
Been in a Brian Eno mood lately. My Antilles copy of "Music For Films" isn't in that great condition so it ruins the ambient vibe somewhat, but I really enjoy it
Dom Salvador is coming to LA this summer so I listened to this for the first time.
The Weather Report lineup at the time never did it for me, I was always a Pastorius/Acuna/Badrena stan and so I apologise in advance. I'm also going to venture I have yet to get Zawinul's melodic sense, before I pull my neck into my shell, like a bloodclat Bowser.
I'd forgotten about Clutch, they sound way better to me now than they did to me back then. Pretty tuff. My brother will be down.
I was not familiar with the Chico, it reminds me of something I can't put my finger on... A Bill Laswell joint?
Yes, "Heavy Weather" with those three is a classic, as is Jaco's self-titled before he joined WR. I was reminded of Clutch's debut because I saw that they have a new album out. Takes me back to the good-bad ol' days when I was young and angry. I was reminded of that Chico Science because of their cover of "Maracatu Atomico", which appears on their follow-up before his deadly accident and in the Ayrton Senna doc from 2010 which I watched a few months ago. There are similarities to Praxis.
Chico Science & Nação Zumbi were big into Sepultura:
but Sepultura was really into them too, Roots definitely bears the influence of their sound.
Legend has it that the dudes from The Prodigy were also into them, and their music was an influence on Fat of the Land. Not sure how much I believe that, although I could see them having passed through Brazil and listening to the band.
