E-mile suggested me to make an intervention about "paint it black" concerning some recent developments in the "white" house...
I almost evocated the topic while posting Parliament/Chocolate city.
It was so subtile it was hidden.
But you can bet George Clinton is still in this one.

First : Comma or not comma?
Paint it Black.
Paint it, Black.
I vote for Paint it Black Panther.

Black Panther and Captain America

Moreover, everybody knows the Rolling Stones have never been a rock'n roll band.
They always played rythm 'n' blues.

Anyway, the job has been already done in a one piece mix with talking.
(For die hard collectors only).

So paint it my way in 33 messianic foo tracks.
Now you can see clear in my politics.

Go on original :

Go on karaoke :

Go on with Ludacris :

With a little green help for my friends,
Thanks E-mile.

---------------------------------------------------------

103: I Got It Covered!

Hi.

Today a selection of GREAT covers!

-

Never thought that an Arctic Monkey's song could be THIS funky!

The whole Baby Charles album is funky as hell btw!

-think Alice Russell kinda quality-

Ofcourse the Mingus song by Jeff Beck is standing strong,

the song originally was a tribute to the late Lester Young.

-

The surf classic gets the "plenty of horns" NCC live workout,

always nice, at once I'm back in Pulp Fiction ...

-

And yes, even a Gibbs brothers song can be done the right way,

as this version by these guys from Spo Dee O Dee prooves.

-

Lou Reed's most famous song gets a very jazzy,

mellow & laidback treatment from a great sounding lady and band.

-

Finally a guy doing one of the songs Bobby Gentry was famous for.

-

Enjoy

-

1. Baby Charles - I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor (4:28)

10. ZZ Hill - Touch 'Em With Love (1:48)

-

Also for this one I don't know who's kneecaps were hurt

by putting out these ten great covers,

but that's the way blogger treats us music lovers I guess...

-

I wish everybody had a collection that comes close to

all the LP's & CD's that I bought over the years

no musicians would be hurt, I'm sure.

P.E.A.C.E.

186: Indian Summer(time)

Hi.

Today is a special day!

With the help of Cheeba

(from Canada)

& Matt(hias)

(from Germany, who also send me this pic to use)

and countless other sources

(let's count Rab & Co in for sure!)

I've gathered here another 53 (!) versions

of the good old Summertime song!

Amen.

I said I'd stay away from this song a bit & I did...

It's cold at night, hot (OK, warm) during the day,

it's a typical indian summer(time) over here in 2008.

-

No better time than the present to offer you this enormous batch of

versions, some of them REALLY aweful, some of them REALLY good,

and a lot of them, well, let's say they're OK.

-

Mind you, there are some UNEXPECTED cool surprises in this lot,

so if you're in for some more, be sure to catch this at once!

-

please enjoy!
