Note To Subscribers

This blog is on sabbatical.

I'm doing music stuff over here more frequently - it's more fun.

Thanks

Barbara Lynn

This is all kinds of nice.

This soul pioneer toured with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Smokey Robinson, Jackie Wilson, Sam Cooke, Otis Redding, James Brown, Al Green, Marvin Gaye,Ike and Tina Turner, B.B. King and The Temptations.

Pretty good eh! Even Moby sampled her!

Holger Czukay

Holger is a pioneer.

He explored world music before the term existed, played with sampling way before anyone had heard of hip hop.

He co-founded Can and by all accounts made some pretty damn cool music.

I certainly need more records by him.

The Flowerpot Men

I know next to nothing about this 1980s English band. This track was used in Ferris Bueller's Day Off. It's great.

Apparently John Hughes is very keen on English new wave...anyway.

I spent sometime tracking this one down. Great fast paced little pop Indie record.

Dead Kennedys

Dead Kennedys are a punk band from San Francisco. Forming in 1976 they went on to be one of the pioneers of the US hardcore movement.

This great track from '82 is about why it sucks that you can't dress up crazy (like you do on Halloween) all year around. Basically fighting the limited visions of the system in which we live. And how good is that sleeve!
