Start your day by getting some Air.
Here is Cherry Blossom Girl
Some days I just need a good ambient album in the background. Too many of them are boring or drone-like, but "I Could Be Your Dog/I Could Be Your Moon" is endlessly interesting to me. Whenever I hear this particular cut start, it relaxes me instantly.
Here is Kaitlyn Aurelia Smith with "Moon in Your Eye" (if it appeals to you, check out the whole album)
A great rendition of the first song in this video has reminded me that it's time for the annual watch-party for my all-time favorite movie.
Witness the greatness of The Tokyo Cuban Boys.
I really dig the way this guy weaves his multi-track trumpet tapestries.
It's AAESPO (Aaron Esposito) with "2"
The Funk is what gives music its power. It's an energy field created by all living things. It surrounds us and penetrates us. It binds the galaxy together.
You must feel the funk as it flows through you.
"Put it Down" by Otis McDonald, Mike Chiavaro and funkin' John Patitucci.
If this doesn't get your head boppin', check your pulse. Added bonus, here be vibes of some sort (intro)
Here is "Alakazam" by Sonny Ross.
@Bix has set my musical path for the day. (Thanks!) 🙂
Here is Cliff Nobles & CO with "The Camel"
Could (possibly?) be considered NSFW Show more
We're coming up on the 50th anniversary of this appearance on TOTP (back before that acronym had anything to do with auth).
It's Robert Wyatt with Neil Diamond's "I'm a Believer" (with help from Andy Summers [Police], Nick Mason [Pink Floyd], Richard Sinclair [Caravan, Hatfield & the North] and Fred Frith [Henry Cow])
Today's pick is {gulp} Boy George. Yep, you read that right.
But I know you can handle it.
Here he is singing with the Nigel Kennedy Quintet, on the song "Riverman"
Pretty excellent way to close out a long week.
Today's pick is "Starburster" by Fontaines D.C. (that chorus!)
Album comes out in 2 days.
Slow down. Take a breath.
Here is "Omstart" by Cornelius.
"𝘞𝘦 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘣𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴
𝘉𝘶𝘵 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦'𝘴 𝘨𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘴 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘪𝘯𝘴"
Today's earworm is Rubber Bullets by 10cc.
This one goes out to all of the finger-snappin' toe-tappin' souls on my yacht today.
It's the Alessi Brothers with "Oh Lori"
A friend turned me on to this group, and - holy wow. Hard to categorize their mix of funk, disco, raw post rock and just plain altCrazy. Love them!
Here is their version of Herbie Hancock's "Chameleon" (although I simultaneously reminisce about Maynard Ferguson, James Brown and Igorrr while listening to it. When has THAT ever happened?)
I confess, ever since I first heard their song "Beehive", I've been in love with the band Meer.
Just dig their sound and their songwriting.
Here's a new release from them, "Chains of Changes"
Connie Converse's "Father Neptune" sung by The Ladies:
Sunday's music deep dive is Connie Converse, based on this article:
Am in a strange mood today.
So am embracing it.
Dig it with me. Here is "Samba De Verão" by Walter Wanderley
Music for a tough week. I usually listen to this on low volume, as an ambient background, but today it's cranked it up enough to hear the low-end rumble.
Worth it. Am hearing little details not noticed before.
