32: The Day After...

No, I didn't spot him either the last couple of days, no worries!
But a great way to loose some of that extra calories we all -without a doubt- gained past 2 days, is to grab the next 10 songs and start to dance till you're silly :-)
(but seriously, keep the 'message' from
my previous post in mind, though)
Just another week and it's 2008, I hope to see you all again soon,
for now I'm gonna relax a little bit (doctor's advice :-) and put in mind that E-mile Says Songs Do The Matter never really sleeps and will return to you with a load of goodies...
Cheers!

For my 30th post I'd like to introduce to you a great little band from Italy.
They're called The Bone and they make some incredible music!

Being a big Morphine fan myself (rest in peace Mark Sandman)
I followed the musical remains through the years, The Orchestra Morphine, Twinemen and Bourbon Princess...

And a little while back I was very pleasantly surprised by this band The Bone!
They have that BIG Morphine sound (baritone sax, bass & drums) and they rock like...
hell, just listen for yourselves!
You can find more info on these guys here and visit their website here.
You can listen to their full-lenght CD HERE on E-mile says songs do the matter!


I've been in contact with them and they would be honoured to come to Holland and do a few shows, so if there's anybody out there with ideas, the right connections or otherwise, we love to hear about it!
I sincerely hope that we all can welcome them real soon!
Here's the tracklisting from the Zoo CD:

1. The Bone - Zoo Babylon (3:40)

29: Mark Lanegan



I'm not gonna waste much words on the guy,
if you've never heard of him:GOOGLE the man :-)

I just think he has a GREAT voice, I first "met him" on the
and ever since I try to keep track of his outings...

It has become a decent collection,
though I have not all the albums he performs on. (duh...)
I grabbed a few tracks that go well with this fantastic poster above.

1. Desert Sessions - Hanging Tree (3:13)
2. Mad Season - Long Gone Day (4:52)
3. Mark Lanegan - Carry Home (2:59)
4. Mark Lanegan - I'll Take Care of You (2:50)
5. Mark Lanegan - Shiloh Town (3:22)
6. Mark Lanegan - Consider Me (3:49)
7. Mark Lanegan - Boogie Boogie (2:04)

27: Reggae, Roots & Rastafari

Two names here that wouldn't directly come to mind, in a 10 song selection of reggae music: Ben Harper and Sinead O'Connor...
Ben Harper's music (my girlfriend is a HUGE fan) is strongly rooted in blues, gospel, soul, jazz and, as this song clearly proves, in the spirit of Jah. Sinead made a few years back a fantastic album with the collaboration of Sly & Robbie, and if you can, buy the limited edition 2CD which has alll the dubversions on the second CD.
The Congos made in 1977 that famous album ofcourse, but this song is from one of their latest. Still sounds great!
Dub Syndicate made some pretty classic stuff on On-U-Sound records, shame that these days most of their albums are out of stock or very hard to get.
I dedicate this one to Robert, by the way.

1. Ben Harper - Jah Work (4:55)
2. Congos - Gods Kingdom (3:58)
3. Donovan Carlos - Be Thankful (3:03)
4. Dub Syndicate - Mafia (7:05)
5. Ijahman - Jah is No Secret (11:26)
6. Lee Perry, Lou Graham & Upsetters -
News Flash/Flashing Echoes (3:10)
7. Pablo Moses - Dubbing Is A Must (4:53)
8. Sinéad O'Connor - Downpressor Man (5:08)
9. Wailing Souls - Fire House Rock (4:13)
10. Watty Burnett - Rainy Night in Portland (7:12)


PS: the Donovan Carlos song is a cover, check commandment 19 :-)

On the T. Hayes song the great Roland Kirk (an all-time favourite of mine)

Yeah, 10 new covers (again)!
Guess they keep me intrigued and awake (alert?)
They're just like coffee, get a few of them and all's fine, but when you've had a couple too much, you could end up having trouble getting to sleep...
The one here I was really amazed by,
was the one that combined U2 and Black Sabbath.
Rather funny, where and how "opposites" can meet!

I think I'm not gonna bother you 'bout more covers for a while,
but they WILL BE HERE again some other day :-)

Lot is said & written 'bout Lee 'Scratch' Perry.
Most of it is true, I guess...

The Eighteenth Ten Commandments

Aaah, yes, the people who are darker than blue...
As I already figured, it was indeed a hell of a job to select only 10 songs. I did not want to include the well known hits Superfly or Move on up, but even so, I couldn't possibly reduce this post to a round of only 10 songs. So for (only?) this time I'm gonna present you a double ten (yes, a 20 song) selection I chose from my pile of Curtis CD's.
I included no songs from the live album, that one you
have got to hear from the beginning to the end!
To make up for that, I bring you a one-time-only collaboration with Fishbone in the 'mix'.
Let "Curtom-Curtis" do the talking now..
Respect!

1. Curtis Mayfield - Ain't Got Time (5:07)
2. Curtis Mayfield - Back Against The Wall (6:37)
3. Curtis Mayfield - Billy Jack (6:07)
4. Curtis Mayfield - Blue Monday People (4:48)
5. Curtis Mayfield - Can't Say Nothing (5:15)

The Seventeenth Ten Commandments

For the people who a darker than blue.
(OK, OK, next post is gonna be 'bout HIM -
only 10 songs??? -that's gonna be a hell of a job)
Andy Bey did 1 great album, back in 1970. Rest of his solo stuff is
-to me!!!- rather 'dull' vocal orientated jazz...sorry :-)
But with his sisters he made some nice music.
Nevertheless this one album is a true gem.
I started collecting all the Little Axe albums after hearing the Slow Fuse 2CD album and had the good fortune to see them live!
Great, great band with an unique sound!
Visit their website, see their shows and BUY their albums!
The Stereotype-song is the long version, the way it came out on LP.
A blast! (with hilarious lyrics!)
The Rick James b-side I found somewhere on the web, it's nice to hear that song in a somewhat other way than we all know it.
Enjoy!
1. Alice Smith - Fake is the New Real (3:17)
2. Andy Bey - Tune Up (4:08)
3. Boogaloo Joe Jones - Right On (5:39)

9. Rick James - Super-Freak (Part 2) (3:30)
10. Specials - Stereotypes Part 1&2 (7:24)
I'm also looking out for some more versions from 'C(h)risto Redentor'.
Magnus used a sample (the choir), Duke Pearson wrote it.
Anyone?

The Sixteenth Ten Commandments

Yes, swampfunksoul!
The great Tony Joe White, famous for the song
Pork Salad Annie of course.
In the early seventies he made a couple of GREAT records,
with an unique feel to them.
Southern, swampy, laid back but most of all: superfunky!

have a listen and judge for yourself...

The Fifteenth Ten Commandments

Duets & more this time.

But most of them are quite wonderful.
No musical theme here, just 10 duets.
Enjoy.

The Fourteenth Ten Commandments

I included one song here that's not "black", simply because I promised it last time.
The original Fancy from Bobbie Gentry. "Just plain white trash"...
Here's a (playbacked) performance of the song.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q4ZCrMESar8
Her life story is a bit of a mystery,
but she made some "darn" good music!
Think I'm gonna post some more of her great songs in the future.
For the other 9 songs, what can I say? I had a "black" feeling today,
full of soul, blues, funk and all that jazz.
Enjoy:
1. Allen Toussaint - From A Whisper To A Scream (3:32)
2. Andre Williams - Only Black Man In South Dakota (3:28)
3. Bobbie Gentry - Fancy (4:15)
4. Carlos Garnett - Taurus Woman (12:14)

The Thirteenth Ten Commandments


Aah. Number 13.
The lucky number!
To be on the safe side, on the good foot
and with enough sugar in my coffee,
I dedicate this one to the ladies.
The 'funky diva's' and the others who just know how to rock your boat.
No Aretha here, though she should be of course,
but everybody already knows HER...
(I presume!)
Limited as I am here (only 10 songs)
I chose a few funky female singers you've probably never heard of,
(except Betty Lavette, I'm sure)
but which are all worthy your undivided and totally devoted attention.
I'll give you the original Bobbie Gentry
version of the song Fancy in my next post.
enjoy:
1. Betty Barney - Momma Momma (2:46)
2. Betty Lavette - Let Me Down Easy (2:51)
3. Gloria Taylor - Grounded (Part 1) (2:29)

Weird fact is that there are a lot of them, or is it that not so weird at all?
Today's first song is THE original, don't get me wrong,
I only put it up here so the difference with it's cover stands out more!

The Eleventh Ten Commandments

Hi.
Strictly jazz? Well, luckily for me jazz comes in many different sorts and in many different colors. It isn't all about Stan Getz, Dave Brubeck or Charlie Parker either. For me, discovering jazz music was one of the best things ever happened to me...It started way back with me buying John Coltrane's A Love Supreme and things forever changed since then!
It was hard for me to point out only 10 songs for this post...
let's say I'm quite confident more jazz is gonna slip into the next 'commandments'... that's for sure!
Let the music do the talking now:

1. Bennie Maupin Ensemble - Tapping Things (5:40)
2. Billy Tipton Memorial Saxophone Quartet - Stompin' at the Cranium (5:06)
3. David Murray & GWO-KA Masters - Gwotet (12:14)
4. Don Cherry - Art Deco (8:43)
5. Jimi Tenor - Outta Space (6:25)
6. John Coltrane - Song of the Underground Railroad (6:44)
7. Last Of The Hipmen - Punaluu Peter (8:56)
8. Oliver Nelson - Hoe Down (4:43)
9. Rahsaan Roland Kirk - Raouf (3:05)
10. Wayne Horvitz & Zony Mash - Stompin At The Cranium (6:39)
or:

The Tenth Ten Commandments

Glops, a weird bunch this time!
But typing "the tenth ten" was also a kinda strange,
so what the heck!
Maybe some of it is indeed a little bit "out there"
for some ears, but it's all good!
And if you (or your ears) don't agree, well, than it's just me...
here we go:
1. Alela Diane - Pirate's Gospel (2:55)

The Ninth Ten Commandments

As promised, 10 new songs with a mellow feel to them.

An old and a new version of the fact that people make the

world go round, a nice little (bootleg)version of Summertime

and a nice version of From A Whisper To A Scream.

(Though I prefer the one done by Allen Toussaint himself, maybe another time)

The first song I found on the OST from the TV series Six Feet Under.

If you have the chance to see the film the Fred Frith song is from,

(Step Across The Border) you're in for a nice (musical) trip!

The Seventh Ten Commandments

Hi.

Another 10 (very different) songs to keep you awake, to put you to sleep,

to totally rock ya minds or maybe just to make you wonder...


But they do the matter.


An instrumental version of Summertime included, one that brought all kinds of

muscular movements to my face, never knew I had that many muscles up there!


I just HAD to put a little gospel in there too, since this is the 7th one...

(but luckily I'm not the 7th son) along with something that reminded me

of the great Soft Machine 7 album.

(sadly the Viola Crayola only made 1 album).


And if you like that LONG song (from the trombone-man), don't hesitate for

a minute and buy that ECM album straightaway!


here's the tracklisting for this one:


1. Cedric 'Im Brooks - Satta - Masa - Ganna (7:10)

2. Earl Hines & Budd Johnson - Summertime (5:46)

3. Julian Priester - Prologue/Love, Love (19:22)

4. Nicole Willis - Gonna Get Yours (2:39)

5. Odetta & Holmes Brothers - 2 Little Fishes & Five Loaves (3:21)

6. Raconteurs - Blue Veins (4:03)

7. Viola Crayola - Mr Leroy, Pepe Is Lost (4:27)

8. Wah Wah Watson - Goo Goo Wah Wah (5:42)

9. William S. Fischer- Patience Is Virtue (4:49)

The Fifth Ten Commandments

For this one I stumbled upon a few gems in my collection I'm sure I couldn't live without, even in my next lifetime...or the one after that :-)
I know 'commandments' sound a bit biblical, but everyone's gotta live by some 'rules' I guess.
Mine are quite simple: when it's good, it's good.
My ears recieve, my mind divides, my body reacts, and those 3 leave me just where the music wants me to be: in the right place! (but, yeah, maybe in the wrong time...)

Anyways, here's another 10 (great) songs, including some early work of Fatboy Slim, the unforgettable sounds of Mark Sandman & Co., a little X-files theme I put in there with MC 900 FT Jesus myself and a great Michael Jackson work out...

Please buy all the Morphine albums you can get your hands on,
they are all GOOD, oh YES, they are a CURE FOR PAIN :-)

here's the tracklisting, so you'll be a little prepared for what's here to hear:

1. Earl Gaines - hymn n°5 (3:21)
2. Freddie King - San-Ho-Zay (2:33)
3. Fried Funk Food - Freak Of Da Week (6:41)
4. MC 900 Ft Jesus - Killer Inside Me (4:10)
5. Morphine - thursday (3:26)
6. Nine - famaldahyde (4:15)
7. Ray-O-Vacs- besame mucho (2:49)
8. Roberta Flack - Go Up Moses (5:23)
9. Senor Coconut - BEAT IT (Merengue) (3:55)
10. Zita Swoon - Hot Hotter Hottest (4:47)
