THIS TIME.. ITS PARTY TIME
HERES A QUICK EDIT OF THE CLASSIC "WEEKEND" BY PHREEK. I TOOK OUT THE CAMPY BRIDGE AND EXTENDED SOME KEY PARTS...
THERES SEVERAL VERSIONS OF THIS JAM ON 12" AND THE LP IS ALSO A BIT DIFFERENT. WHEN I MADE THIS, I WHIPPED IT UP PRETTY QUICK. I THOUGHT ABOUT TAKING FROM EACH, BUT SONICALLY THE MIXES ALL SOUND DIFFERENT.
ENJOY..

OH WORRRRD
FUNK. A WORD OFTEN USED FOR MANY DIFFERENT THINGS.
THERES MORE TERMS THAT CAN GET CONFUSING, LIKE..BOOGIE, MODRN SOUL, DISCO...ETC.
I DUNNO WHAT THEY MEAN REALLY, REALLY. I JUST KNOW, EITHER I LIKE IT OR NOT. I GUESS WE NEED THESE WORDS TO DEFINE SOUNDS/ GENRES THO ... WHO GETS TO MAKE THEM UP ?
SOME WOULD ARGUE THAT P*FUNK, JUST ISNT "FUNK".
EVEN IF YOU THINK ITS NOT FUNK, ITS STILL FUNKY.
SHEEEEET ...WHAT WOULD DR.DRE, SNOOP AND THE CHRONIC BE WITH OUT IT. EXACTLY.
GEORGE CLINTON, FRED WESLEY AND BOOTSIE TALM'BOUT THE "FUNK" AND ITS MEANING.

CUIDADO !!!!
LATIN MUSIC, ESPECIALLY FROM PUERTO RICO, CUBA, AND D.R. HAS SO MUCH TO OFFER...MY HOMIE AMIR HAS QUITE A NICE COLLECTION, WHILE MY OWN IS LACKING A BIT.... NOT THAT I DONT HAVE ANY LATIN IN MY COLLECTION, ONLY AROUND 150- 200 LPS..WHICH IN COMPARISON TO AMIRS LATIN 45'S, I NEED TO STEP MY GAME UP... ALL IN THE FAMILY THOUGH, SO ITS ALWAYS AT MY REACH.
IVE BEEN TRYING TO TRACK THIS ONE DOWN ON VINYL... ANY OF THE ORQUESTRA FLAMBOYAN RECORDS, I THINK THIS WAS ORIGINALLY RECORED WITH LARRY HARLOW.
AMAZING PIECE HERE...TO BE AT THIS CONCERT 1972 (YEAR OF MY BIRTH) WOULD HAVE BEEN PRICELESS...CHECK OUT HOMEBOY KILLING THE PIANO AROUND 3:20 IN. DEEP.

G.O.A.T.
OFTEN IMITATED...NEVER DUPLICATED.
SEX IS THE MESSAGE, BUT THE LEVEL OF CLASS IS UNSURPASSED. UN-FADE-ABLE.
LOVE TO THE WORLD
MARVINS BEEN DEAD NEARLY 30 YEARS (A SENSELESS AND TRAGIC DEATH) YET AND STILL, NONE CAN TOUCH HIM.
IM NOT GOING TO EVEN SPEAK ON THE CLIMATE OF TODAYS POPULAR R&B AND ITS RUDE, CRASS LYRICS AND THE STATE OF ITS 1 MINUTE SHELF LIFE.
SHOUTS TO ADAM G. FOR HIPPING ME TO THIS LINK.
THIS MAY BE THE START OF A SERIES OF THE GREATEST OF ALL TIMERS VIDEOS.

COVER ME
ITS BEEN A WHILE SINCE MY LAST POST, MAYBE A BIT TOO LONG YEA ?
I LIKE COVERS, YOU KNOW WHEN ANOTHER BAND OR ARTIST REDOES ANOTHER ARTISTS SONG.
HOWEVER, I FEEL COVERS SHOULD ALWAYS HAVE A TWIST, A DIFFERENT ARRANGEMENT, TEMPO, SOUNDS, ETC.
ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE RAVING ABOUT MAYER HAWTHORNE.
I MET HIM BRIEFLY WHILE IN L.A., SEEMS LIKE A COOL GUY, HAS GREAT TASTE IN MUSIC AND I LOVED HIS 1ST RECORD "AINT GONNA WORK OUT".
I DONT LIKE HIS COVER OF THE ALREADY PERFECT NEW HOLIDAYS "MAYBE SO MAYBE NO".
ITS LIKE THE SAME EXACT SONG.
NOTHINGS REALLY DIFFERENT EXCEPT FOR THE SINGING. IN WHICH CASE THE ORIGINAL IS BETTER.
IM NOT KNOCKING MAYER FOR HIS WORK OR HUSTLE, HE PLAYS ALL OF THE INSTRUMENTS HIMSELF I THINK, AND ITS GREAT THAT YOUNG PEOPLE WHO WERE NOT EXPOSED TO THE NEW HOLIDAYS RECORD ARE VIBING OFF OF MAYERS VERSION, BUT IT'D BE NICE IF HE COULD SOMEHOW LET PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT THE ORIGINAL...ESPECIALLY SINCE MAYERS VERSION SOUNDS THE WAY IT DOES.
WHY WOULD A PERSON LIKE MYSELF, WHOS KNOWN ABOUT THIS SONG, EVER WANT TO PLAY MAYERS VERSION INSTEAD OF THE NEW HOLIDAYS ?
IM SURE EVEN MAYER PLAYS THE NEW HOLIDAYS VERSION.
EVERYBODY THAT ASKS ME TO PLAY THE MAYER SONG, I TELL THEM THEY NEED TO HEAR THE OG.
SO HERES THE OG...ENJOY
Sendspace.com: maybe so maybe no this one.mp3 / new holidays
OH YEA, WHILE IM ON THIS TIP.... HOW ABOUT LEE FIELDS !?
I WAS READY TO GO OUT AND BUY THIS GUYS RECORD UNTIL I STUMBLED ACROSS A COPY IN A PILE OF CDS, I HAD NO IDEA I EVEN OWNED A PROMO COPY OF HIS LATEST LP " MY WORLD".
THIS LP IS INCREDIBLE, THE CONVICTION IN HIS VOICE IS THE ESSENCE OF A SOUL SINGER...AT LEAST IN MY BOOK.
WHY ARENT MORE PEOPLE UP ON THIS LEE FIELDS.. GOOD QUESTION. LOOK FOR THIS MANS MUSIC, KILLER STUFF.

IM TELLING YOU....TRUS'ME
I MET DAVID AKA TRUS'ME AT THE BEAT N RHYTHM RECORD SHOP, WHILE I WAS IN MANCHESTER SPINNING A %100 PURE DISCO PARTY CALLED "NORTHERN DISCO" (SHOUTS TO AL KENT/MILLION$$ ORCHESTRA AND LEE SHANKY SHANKLAND !)
I HEARD SOMEBODY CALL MY NAME..AND SOON AFTER WE STARTED TALKING, HE SEEMED SURPRISED I KNEW OF HIM (AS IF I ONLY LIKE OLD MUSIC..)
I LOVED THE FLIP HE DID OF MCNEAL AND NILES... STILL DO. FAST FORWARD A FEW MONTHS NOW... WE BECAME HOMIES.
SO, YOUNG DAVID (YA KNOW LIKE LIL' DEEZY AND YUNG DEE) AKA TRUS'ME ( DONT ASK WHAT A TRUS'ME IS WHILE IN JAPAN ) JUST SENT ME HIS NEW LP " IN THE RED" WHICH DOESNT DROP TIL NOV.
SOME FIIIIIRE ON THIS !!!!! DONT SLEEP !!!
LAST YEAR HE GAVE ME THIS REALLY ROUGH TRACK WITH AMP FIDDLER...COVERING A BILL WITHERS TUNE I BELIEVE... I KEPT SWEATING HIM TO FINISH IT... WELL ITS DONE. AND ITS CRAZY HOT.
THE JOINT WITH DAM- FUNK ON THE VOCODER.... WHOOOOOOEEEEE.
THERES ALSO A TRACK CALLED "SWEET MOTHER" WHICH I HAD A HAND IN ( I HAD THE SAMPLE SET ASIDE, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR OUR PROJECT) YOUNG DAVID BEGGED FOR IT TO MAKE THIS LP..... WHAT COULD I SAY ?
A DEDICATION TO ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE
AFRO FUNK,DISCO,909'S BUMPING OVER SOME BEAUTIFUL CHORDS AND SINGING... A WINNER FOR SURE.
MY MOTHER WAS THE BOMB, SHE IS TRULY MISSED, I HOPE YOURS IS TOO ! YOU ONLY GET ONE.
ANYWAY... FANS OF THIS MANS WORK WILL BE PLEASED WHEN THIS DROPS IN NOVEMBER....BE SURE TO COP IT.
I CANT POST THESE NEW TRACKS, BUT I WILL SHARE SOMETHING ELSE OF HIS.
BE SURE TO LOOK OUT FOR LINKWOOD AS WELL...THAT CAT IS CRAZY TALENTED, DO NOT SLEEP ON THIS CREW.
ANYBODY THATS HEARD ME REALLY GET LOOSE, OR HAS KNOWN ME FOR A WHILE....KNOWS HOW MUCH I LOVE G.Q. AND THE CONNECTION THAT THIS GROUP HAS TO MY CHILDHOOD.
FOR THOSE THAT DONT KNOW, THEY WERE A DIFFERENT GROUP BEFORE G.Q.... CALLED THE RHYTHM MAKERS, AND THE JAM THEY ARE MOST KNOWN FOR... DISCO NIGHTS (TIMELESS!!) WAS CALLED "SOUL ON YOUR SIDE", WITH COMPLETELY DIFFERENT LYRICS.
HERES TRUSME DOING HIS FLIP OF OF SOUL ON YOUR SIDE. ENJOY !

MICHAEL JACKSON
R.I.P. 8/29/1958- 6/29/09
I CANT REALLY EXPRESS IN WORDS WHAT MICHAEL JACKSON HAS DONE FOR MUSIC, AND REALLY ...PEOPLE.
HIS MUSIC BRINGS PEOPLE TOGETHER, FOREVER EMBEDDED IN ALL OF OUR SOULS. I HAVE MANY FOND MEMORIES OF SKATING TO OFF THE WALL IN 1979. IM NOT SURE IF WE WILL SEE AN ARTIST OF HIS MAGNITUDE AGAIN...AT LEAST NOT IN MY LIFETIME.
ID SAY MICHAEL IS EASILY THE BLUE PRINT FOR ALL OF TODAYS R&B SINGERS.
9 OUT OF 10 NIGHTS I SPIN, THERES AT LEAST 1 J5. MICHAEL JACKSON JAM DROPPED.
SAY WHAT YOU WILL ABOUT HIS PERSONAL LIFE, ONE THINGS FOR SURE....HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON.
NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE ACAPELLA

EGO TRIPPIN'
CHECK OUT THE SIMILARITIES BETWEEN MARVIN GAYES EGO TRIPPIN' AND THE RARE 12" BY WALTER WHISENHUNT " I'M SALUTING YOU FOR YOUR LOVE".
THE MUSIC IS THE EXACT SAME BACKING TRACK FOR BOTH JAMS, NOT SURE WHAT THE STORY IS, ANYBODY WHO KNOWS... FEEL FREE TO HIT ME UP.
WHILE WALTER'S VERSION IS COOL, I PREFER MARVIN'S JAM. WALTER IS ALSO THE PRODUCER BEHIND THE MUCH SOUGHT AFTER (FOR GOOD REASON) GLORIA ANN TAYLOR RELEASE ON THE SAME LABEL...AN AMAZING 3 SONG EP WHICH HAS SOME ODDBALL STUDIO OVERDUBBING GOING ON. IF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT, IM SURE YOU CAN FIND INFO ON IT, OR CHECK OUT THE KON AND AMIR RADIO SHOW, AS I RECENTLY RAN ONE OF THE TRACKS FROM HER EP.
IM NOT SURE WHY THIS WONT LINK CORRECTLY, AND I DONT CARE ENOUGH TO FIGURE IT OUT...SAVE YOURSELF THE TIME AND THE ABSURD AMOUNT OF MONEY ONE WOULD ASK FOR TO BUY THIS 12"........COPY AND PASTE TO YOUR BROWSER,DOWNLOAD WALTERS JAM BELOW.

VOODOO THAT YOU DO
WHILE SOME ARE ON THE INTERNET IN SEARCH OF THE LATEST POPPY GOO-GOO-GAA-GAA MASH UPS, OR CHAINSAW ELECTRO, THAT (ALMOST) ALL SOUNDS THE SAME TO ME .....
HERES A TRACK FROM OUR OFF OFF TRACK SERIES ON BBE RECORDS, BY MR.MELVIN PRYCE.
AMAZING CONGAS AND PERCUSSION WITH BREAKS ON THIS JAZZY TRACK.
AMIR ENDED UP BECOMING FRIENDS WITH MELVIN, AMIR THEN ENDED UP REISSUING THIS LP VIA WAXPOETICS RECORDS.
MELVIN CAME OUT TO THE BBE PARTY IN LONDON WE DID LAST DECEMBER.
MELVIN THEN DANCED THE NIGHT AWAY WITH HIS FEMALE FRIEND....HIS SON ALSO ROLLED THROUGH.
WHEN YOUR IN YOUR 70'S SHOWING UP TO CLUB'S FILLED WITH YOUNG FOLK'S IS A GOOD LOOK.. WOULD'NT YOU SAY ?
THATS HOW I WANT TO BE WHEN IM THAT AGE...STILL ROCKING.
QUOTE OF THE MONTH GOES OUT TO BEN.. FROM FLAVORHEARD...
"YOU OLD MUFUKAS LIKE YOUR MONITORS LOUD"
DAMN RIGHT !

BIG DRUM BEATER
REDBULL INVITED ME TO BE A PART OF THIS EVENT THURS. JAN 29TH ,WHICH PROMISES TO BE SOMETHING SPECIAL.
THE ROOTS, A BAND THAT HAS BEEN TOURING FOR WELL OVER A DECADE NOW, NEED NO INTRODUCTION.
SOME MAY NOT BE AWARE OF ANTIBALAS, BUT IF YOUR IN BOSTON AND COME TO THIS SHOW, IM SURE YOU WILL NOT FORGET WHO THEY ARE.
I HAVE YET TO SEE THEM LIVE, BUT I HAVE SOME RECORDS BY THEM, AND THEY KILL IT WITH THE AFRO FUNK.
COMPLETE WITH KILLER BREAKS B-BOYS LOVE, AND THAT FELA KEYBOARD SOUND, YOU CANT LOSE.
I HAVE A BUNCH OF IDEAS FOR THIS SHOW....WE'RE SUPPOSED TO GET TO HAVE A REHEARSAL THE NIGHT BEFORE...FROM WHAT I WAS TOLD I WILL BE PLAYING RECORDS FOR EACH BAND TO FOLLOW ...THEN BATTLE IT OUT, ALL IN GOOD FUN OF COURSE. AKROBATIK WILL ALSO BE HOSTING.
SO I LEAVE YOU WITH 2 JAMMY JAMS...ONE IS TONY ALLEN ( FELAS INCREDIBLE DRUMMER) A DUB FROM HIS 12" RELEASED IN THE EARLY 80S, THE OTHER IS AN EDIT THE HOMIES HAUL AND MASON WERE BEHIND. IN MY OPINION WE HAVE THE BEST USEAGE OF THE COOLIE RIDDIM.
ENJOY......
