standby - it's friday five
If only Steve Marriott's manager let him take the Led Zeppelin gig instead of Humble Pie... the man could sing his ass off. Can you catch all this song's illicit drug references? Those nutty seventies!
I've just come across The Ruby Suns, a New Zealand band. Think sunny psych-pop with strains of African township jive and flamenco, sung in Maori and led by a d00d relocated from Ventura, California. Your head will swirl from all the different sounds. The video is pretty awesome, as well.
After getting jailed for non-payment of tickets, Eric Wright (Eazy-E) bails out Andre Young (Dr. Dre) on the condition he'll produce music for Eazy's new company, Ruthless Records. Dre talks Eazy into rapping some O'Shea Jackson (Ice Cube) songs and the rest is Gangsta Rap history.
Formerly James Brown's band during the first half of the 1970s, The J.B.'s, (hormen Fred Wesley, Maceo Parker, Pee Wee Ellis and Bobby Byrd) reunited in 2002 to record Bring the Funk on Down, a snappy collection of funkified songs. This tune was featured to good effect in HBO's The Wire.
King Stitt... where does one start? Winston "King Stitt" Spark is the oldest living Jamaican DJ. Born with a facial malformation, King Stitt used it to his advantage and named himself The Ugly One, in reference to Sergio Leone's spaghetti Western, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. Watch a great video interview with him here. Now, listen to King explain how smoking is a habit.
Have a wonderful weekend. I know I'll be giving it a shot with a few shots.
