“There are going to be times when we can’t wait for somebody. Now, you’re either on the bus or off the bus. If you’re on the bus, and you get left behind, then you’ll find it again. If you’re off the bus in the first place — then it won’t make a damn.”

- Ken Kesey

Funkadelic - I Got A Thing, You Got a Thing, Everybody’s Got a Thing

So good, the intense desperation of the song always got it.

Sounds unlike anything else, then or since.

“Rockers never got quite as dirty as Bon Scott. Scott sounded as if you could catch a disease by listening to him. He sounded like the gateman at hell, somebody who never hid the notion that lurking behind the door are some bad, dangerous things, but they’re also fun, too, and he made no apologies for that.”

CocoRosie - After The Afterlife

Opening track from the new record which comes out next week. I cannot wait. Typical CocoRosie weirdness - its’s electronic, it’s acoustic, it’s pop, it’s not.

““I became one of the most sampled voices in the history of music. Nobody’s voice has ever been sampled more than Flavor Flav’s, to this day. James Brown used to be the most sampled voice until I came along with ‘Yeah Boy’ and ‘Rock that shit, homey.’ That took James Brown’s record and stripped it nekkid!””

Love - Walk Right In

Wait, there is a new Arthur Lee record? At least, an old one finally given the reissue treatment, maybe now I can get rid of my bootlegs (or not).

This is from 1973, and it sounds like 1973. Wonderful post-hippie rock.

I was born on May 13, 1966. This is my “birthday” and my “life” album. It and I are both 47 this week. It’s also as close as I have to an all-time favourite album.

rollingstone:

Released on May 16th, 1966, rock’s first studio double LP by a major artist was, as Dylan declared in 1978, “the closest I ever got to the sound I hear in my mind… that thin, that wild-mercury sound.”

Phosphorescent - Wolves

Stunning song from his 2007 record Pride

The Songmeanings thread consensus is that this is a song about addiction.
