new stuff Keziah Jones,Jay Electronica,Amp Fiddler, D'angelo,Erykah Badu, Est ,a thousand other names that mean just as much, but what i'm really talking about is more than just a name ,
:electricity: like the first time i heard the opening riff of 'move on up by Curtis Mayfield,da da da da da dada..for performance :Elvis - The Aloha Hawaii Show , on vhs of course
watching the video of Phil Lynott walking down the street and on the ha' penny bridge for the song 'Old Town'- Steely Dan -more than ever these days.Sitting in my room as a kid with a tape deck recording the Larry Gogan Golden Hour or The Mikey Mac Show - a collage of audio, songs mashed up together and melted into the latest radio ads ,using the rudest of technology, tapes broken and then tied up together or super glued with sophistication, Stevie Wonder ,Led Zepplin Earth,Wind And Fire, The Bee Gee's , The Boys are back in town ,anything everything ,
Observing my mother's reaction in the kitchen when one of the old tunes comes on the radio - rejuvenation,
Phasers set to stun like the first time i heard Dr Dre and Snoop's 'Ain't nothin but that G thang's pulse come to life in my ears -I can't leave out the first album I ever bought (on Tape) Prodigy Experience- was like jumping out of a plane and being hit by the rush of sound colour and adreneline. My Influences.. Songs I dont know the names of but yet are imprinted on my soul. Tunes I may never hear again but that came along at the right time and then dissappeared for years only to show up one day when you're passing a cafe or waiting in your local Tax office or something . Some of the most poignant times of my life have a soundtrack playing somewhere in the back .. way back.
Sounds Like: something I'd say alright..
