I'm a mechanical man.

Bill always finds the most interesting, obscure 80s stuff!

She averaged one record per year, this one from '74. I buy these samba records so I can follow the lyrics in Portuguese to help me learn.

Good stuff over the past few weeks.

I heard Tommy Turrentine's "Gunga Din" on the radio and just realized that Rico Rodriguez' "Africa", on Blue Note's only reggae LP, uses the melody.

I thought this was going to be about Val Kilmer at first but I didn't expect Mike Hurley to be mentioned. Thanks to you, he was put on my radar and I enjoyed seeing him at a show down the road a couple of years ago. "I Paint A Design" and others fro…

It's playing at the Aero in Los Angeles the Saturday after next, so I'll check it out.

One of the first records I found was "You Might Be Surprised" at the thrift store my mother worked when I first really got into this. Thanks to Jim for "Silver Vibrations".

Reminds me of Rita Lee's "Lança Perfume" and the Doobies' "What A Fool Believes"

I have been listening to Gong lately. Today I learned a couple of things reading a Wiki footnote about their legacy: "Gong's influence has been seen in artists such as...Insane Clown Posse, whose member Violent J listened to Gong's music for inspir…

Great minds think alike.

That's how I found it too!

Very sad. His wife and dog passed with him too. It sounded like a carbon monoxide leak at first, but that has been ruled out based on an article I read. No foul play either.

I had no idea about the DeBarge doc, let alone that it screened in LA earlier this week. I don't have any streaming platforms, but it's likely that it will be shown at one of the American Cinematheque theaters (Aero, Egyptian and Los Feliz) eventual…

Jazz and Brazilian pickups from the swap meet in the Arts District and local store after checking out the Alice Coltrane exhibit at the Hammer Museum this weekend.

Tropicalia is a great store. What's your connection to RJ? I have a few friends from there.

^ "Major League" is one of my favorite sports comedies! Brenton Wood passed a couple of weeks ago.

Madlib's collection?!? I know how passionate he is, like all of us, about everything funky, weird and fun. I remember something similar about Q Tip's and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's collections being destroyed. I live in Glendale and I can deliver water.
-
This wasn't on my radar. I just saw his videos about "Drop" and "Ms. Jackson". I never thought about samples played backwards as symbolic of living in the past and moving forward. I like his presentation and insight. Added to my favorites.

I added those two Rare Birds to my collection not too long ago. That Los Apaches is cool. There's also a version of "Them Changes" (as "Ya Jamas") on the same LP. I need a cover for it, by the way. 44:36 is La Libre Expresion's version of Blue Ch…
