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…

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…

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…
