is the prolific film composer who wrote the themes to star wars and jaws. this is a funky disco version of the theme from close encounters of the third kind. the makers of the lp were legally obligated to print "not an original soundtrack" on the sleeve.
has a pretty hilarious list up. 300 terrible names for rappers. ninja-vitis and da constant gardna are two of my faves.
has a couple tracks up from the new mr. oizo lp, which apparently comes out on ed banger records in november. sounds pretty good. more insane dance beat programming from the french master.
miss ? here's an option for the interim: . using the (sometimes/oftentimes crappy) audio of youtube's videos, it lets you make mixes just like you've been wanting to keep doing. to help you wake up and start your workday.
here's a great raw rockin' classic. it's originally from the 1966 lp animalization, but i got it from their best of 2 collection. the hand claps really make the song for me.
In the future weeks to come (every Thursday) I'll be sharing classic mix tapes, limited edition 12" megamix singles/albums + current mashups and massive mix meltdowns.
was the frontman for athens, ga rock band . what a wonderfully annoying band name. their sound is straighforward rock in the vein of elvis costello. easter is best known for producing some of the early r.e.m. records. this track is from 1983's afoot e.p..
here's a track from . it's loud rockin soul. the band features mike bloomfield and buddy miles. honestly i'm not into most of their records, but this track is pretty great. from 1968's lp.
here's some feelgood funky soul from . these fellows had tons of hits in the 60s as the young rascals. this track is from a later effort, 1971's . jazz heavy-hitters joe farrell, hubert laws, alice coltrane, and ron carter play on the record.
more vinyl rips this week. . all the recent neo-folk, ren fair bands owe this band a debt of gratitude. this gem is off their 1969 lp. the end of a holiday is pretty sad, right? let's all enjoy the last bit of summer.
is a blog that posts lots of good funk, soul, jazz, and disco. i found this track there. notice the familiar drum break and guitar part. the sample has been used by beck, along with many others i'm sure. there's a nice write-up about mr. holmes .
who doesn't love the sounds of summer blasting from the back of a bike pedaling down the street? in richmond hills, queens, a group of kids has made this into their main activity.
Usually, the stereos crank out heavy Caribbean beats, but Mr. Ragbir cranked up the new system, which was playing a 1980s hit by the Outfield — “I Don’t Want to Lose Your Love Tonight” — and the near-deafening music had his friends bobbing their heads as they worked on their bikes..
i ripped a bunch of my old records recently. i'll be posting some highlights in the next couple weeks. first up is , the virtuoso acoustic guitar man from athens, ga. this is a beautiful solo performance from his 1969 lp, . realeased on takoma label.
i picked this track up at which is a blog that posts lots of weird outsider albums. post punk cassettes from the 80s, 90s experimental cd's, 70s art rock lp's, etc. this french from the 70s has a comedy horror type of sound. hmm. weird.
this j.b.'s track feels just about right today. it's from their 1975 record, . enjoy.
i posted about the great summer mix series site a few weeks back. featured tracks that had been on mtv's classic show in the late 80s/early 90s. i had forgotten about this song by echo and the bunnymen singer ian mcculloch. check it.
