“That’s James [Black] on drums. James was one of the most talented drummers I ever worked with and James was way out there. Not many folks could play that many rhythms at one time. And then he was spaced out and he would go further with his drums. James never did stay on this planet….You’ve never heard drums like that and you’ll never hear drums like that again” - Eddie Bo

Yeah, you're not going to want to skip this one. Suuuper nasty Muscle Shoals disco funk rarity from 1982. Or rather, five minutes and twenty one seconds of raw space funk r&b from the deep South.

Culled from the 1968 Bacchanal LP, Gabor Szabo's heady brew of jazz/psych/raga takes on Lee Hazlewood's "Some Velvet Morning". Both innovator and interpreter, Szabo's instrumental interpretation stretches out rhythmically while retaining the Hazlewood/Sinatra vocal cadence/melody. And while the cover works best within the frame and aesthetic of the album . . .

Summertime music. Culled from our old Ponytone mixtape, the saccharine-sweet folk pop that is Janey & Dennis' "Take It From A Friend".

Rhino Records (who I consult for) asked me to contribute to their upcoming series of posts/playlists centered around what would be Garcia's 70th birthday, August, 1st. My piece goes live later this week and centers on what, if forced to choose, would be my favorite year in the band's long trajectory -- 1972. The year was a sweet spot; it was special. They were coming off two of their strongest records, had Keith Godchaux on keys, Pigpen was still in the game and Bill Kreutzman was the sole drummer. In short, this is peak era "Good Ol' Grateful . . .

"Chug-A-Lug, Donna." Angelo Badalamenti and David Lynch's sinister titty-shaker, "The Pink Room," from Fire Walk With Me. I just missed the opening of Lynch's nightclub, Silencio, while in Paris last year, but would like to believe this is on repeat, ad infinitum.

Watch your smoke. Jon Spencer reverting to his Pussy Galore days, wrestling Black Flag's "My War" before dousing it in gasoline and setting it ablaze. If the original was the sound of angry youth, then this is post-fury incarnate. Culled from the band's 2011 Daytrotter session, here.

J Spaceman brought the Spiritualized majik show to LA last month in support of his latest joint, Sweet Heart Sweet Light. As expected, the room was sonically awash in trademark gospel/space haze, with a setlist dipping deep into Pierce's back catalog. The new material sounded good, but more than . . .

I’m not sure if there’s a Side A that I played through more times this decade than the first five tracks of this housewrecker of an album. Released in 2005 on the tiny Hello Sir Records, Tiger Bear Wolf roars and bucks with an intensity of passion typically unheard-of in rock music–well, ever. Even now, six years removed from its release, I can’t think of another record in the past ten years that’s this sweaty, this . . .
