David Bowie - Rebel Rebel (US Single Version)
Donald Byrd - Ghana
Frank Minion - Watermelon // Introduction to Black Opium Street: Bongo Blues
I have been looking for Frank Minion's one album, The Soft Land of Make Believe forever and have finally resorted to ripping whatever crumbs are available on YouTube. The album is notable for featuring vocalese versions of Miles Davis' So What, Flamenco Sketches and All Blues and employing the Bill Evans Trio, fresh from working on Kind of Blue, to do so.
Hipnotic - Are You Lonely
James Blake - Retrograde
Joe Cuba Sextet - Pruebalo, OK?
Karen Dalton - Reason to Believe
Letta Mbulu - Mahlalela
Little Miss Cornshucks - Try A Little Tenderness
Margo's Kool Out Crew - Death Rap
Pamoja - Oooh, Baby
Family Of Percussion & Archie Shepp - Here Comes The Family
Archie Shepp was frequently outspoken in pointing out that jazz was moving to the white community, shirking its relevance to its culture and leaving the black youth behind—all the while insisting that "jazz" itself was an antiquated notion, that his responsibility was to the creation of a "black art music" with no limits to its sophistication and abstraction.
Prince Buster - Whine & Grine
Sweet Tea (The Black Angels & Heartless Bastards) - After Laughter (Comes Tears)
Twink - Fluid
And one more song I can't find any information on.
Additionally:
Prince on the Muppet Show:
A little girl hears Bad Brains for the first time:
Peanuts Dance
I was delighted to see this Peanuts / Bad Brains mash up video and started wondering if anyone had reenacted the Peanuts kids dances. Thankfully the Kids in the Hall scooped the YouTube generation:
How to Make it in the Biz
Thanks Lashea for passing this on to me:
This also means Erykah Badu is now officially a label on my blog!
On an unrelated note (besides being another rad female singer) here is my favorite song of the week, Vivien Goldman - Launderette

The Pogues!
The Pogues are playing Roseland Ballroom on March 15th and 16th and tickets are still available! I'm going Saturday and plan on being absolutely four sheets to the wind wasted. I labeled them punk but really they're just a soundtrack for living, a life apparently involving nothing but drinking, loving, fighting and mourning, but living all the same.
[Update: Syke! I'm going Sunday now...]
Gang Green!
I just saw a poster that says Gang Green is playing in Greenpoint at Europa for $12 [Tix] on Feb. 23rd! They have one of my favorite album titles of all time, Older...Budweiser (not to be confused with their album Another Case of Brewtality). If you get there before eight they're giving out free Bud and cocaine...just kidding...maybe...
Does anybody read all this shit let alone care?
