Many years back I bought a cassette copy of Easter Parade because I thought it was gonna be the UB&B thing--I was geeked! I was considerably less geeked to get home and find that it was in fact the Original Cast Recording for some Liza Mi…

tripledouble said:anyone got any ideas about what joint got jacked for this? It's "The Juggernaut" from The Wild Party. A show-tune jernt.

Some version of Chuck Brown And The Soul Searchers?

- "I Can't Make You Love Me," one of the all-time great unrequited-love songs (yeah, that's right), originated when the songwriter read a newspaper account of the trial of some good ol' boy who'd gotten liquored up and gone on a joyride and broken u…

Sometime back in the early 2000s my man at Dr. Wax explained the following, which seems obliquely pertinent here: "Every black person has someone they love who reminds them of Luther, and every black person has someone they can't fucking sta…

batmon said:There are way too many examples for how you can appeal to a new generation. I'm not sure that "having one fluke pop hit because you lined up with the zeitgeist for a minute (a New York minute, even)" equals "appeal[ing] to a new ge…

I'm really not trying to be a dick when I say that standards are mostly bullshit. My entire record philosophy is lifted from Kool Keith: "I just need what I need." Back in my breakbeat honeymoon phase, when I didn't know shit and was getting…

batmon said:Philly Soul? Yeah. Heavy Lenny Williams moves, too. I don't know--this one is all right, but doesn't have that lagniappe that separates primo Kells material from these little genre exercises he drops every now and again to ingra…

Horseleech said:Not sure why this would be Strutnip Because it's whitey holding forth on what does and does not constitute "realness" in the presentation of some particular aspect of non-white culture, long one of soulstrut's chief exports. Extra …

Otis_Funkmeyer said:there is no reason not to believe that any of them happened except the pimp blimp I don't know--I think that's a pretty considerable "except." Cube was always decently tight with his storytelling, very deliberate, and p…

I'm certain that I'm only stating the obvious when I point out that the compelling thing about this song is the part at the very very end when he talks about the Goodyear Blimp spelling out "ICE CUBE'S A PIMP," thus making it clear that this is all …

button said:Are people even buying Brasilian records anymore? I'd say so. For a few years now, Brazilian records have been a steady go-to for dudes who are "over" soul/funk. I think that along with African records and black gospel records, Brazili…

Not to single you out, The_record_nerd, but I'm always kinda mystified when long-timers in the record-collecting scene do something related to that culture (write an article, film a video, helm a reissue, whatever), and then get surprised at the att…

This preposterous shit surely represents a new low point in the Southern rapps v. NYC rapps feud.
