batmon said:Does Nancy's Bam Bam pre-date Yellowman and Fathead's Bam Bam? They were more or less contemporaneous, but are totally different tunes. The "Bam Bam" you're talking about got a little big again in the 90s in the wake of "Murder…

The presence of Tracy Nelson and Sarah Jessica Parker in the same thread reminds me that I've been meaning to ask about views concerning the emergence and ascent of That 80s Nose (peace to pre-sellout Jennifer Grey). But that is perhaps for …

I like the grinding bad vibes of "Scrapio." I've always thought that "Scorpio"--with that massed, piercing high end--was just an exceedingly harsh, mean record. It's got that great groove, but also a really grating, Bernard Herrmann Psycho q…

You'll like this, bassie: A few years back I was watching a Jurassic 5 performance (don't judge) on whatever BET's prime-time show was at the time, and in the little interview afterwards, the host just straight up asked, "So--what are you gu…

Dinosaur L's 24-24 Music is a solid end-to-ender; Sunday-morning-around-the-house disco at its finest. I also like that first Dr. Buzzard record, plus their Goes To Washington.

SIRUS said:bootsy vs bam inna glasses battle -- who wins? Tough call. Bootsy's shit is always kinda samey, but you can tell they're custom. Bam's got more variety, but his shit often looks cheap (Exhibit A: the flavorful but straight-outta-Orienta…

SIRUS said:where can i cop some of those glasses that bam has on? At soccer matches featuring Brazil. There was some exhibition match at (I think) Soldier Field a number of years ago, and afterwards, there were a grip of yahoos running around down…

That works really well with your avatar. Or really terribly, depending on how you look at it.

You know, I heard "Phenomenon" coming out of somewhere the other day (in 2012!--you gotta love Chicago, man), and that shit sounded all right. I'll concede, though, that almost all of LL's problems with perspective can be seen in miniature i…

For what it's worth, dude was (and presumably still is) a really fine writer, too. On that score, I think his good humor, positive attitude, and shitty spelling kept him from getting his due around here, but I always appreciated. If anyone se…

As happy as I am to see Sheila E smiling in 2012, the heavy Rickey Vincent vibes surrounding this project are giving me that uh-oh feeling, as is Nelson George's borderline shucking in the trailer. With the possible exception of certain Euro…

batmon said:Goo-Goo-Ga-Ga songs tend to be kinda corny if u O.D. on them. So true. "Memory Band," "Sunshower," etc. are cool and all, but a little goes a long way.

It's interesting/unfortunate: Rosh Hashanah has gotten something of a black eye in Chicago this year, as the negotiations that could end the teachers' strike that's closed all Chicago public schools for the last week have been put on hold onnaccount…

mannybolone said:Doc: just to specify, did you mean the LP version of "Back to Life" or the 12" acapella intro that goes on for like...2 minutes before the drums kick in? The lp version is the one with the lengthy acapella intro. The version that …
