222: Rock 'N' Blues Groovers...

Hi.

When I was starting to select songs for this compilation

I thought of it as a collection of fat bluesy rock 'n' roll songs,

then I believed it was all a bit more fat rock'n'rolling

bluessongs all together, then I thought maybe it was just another

great compilation of songs to feel good about all the bad,

then I realized I couldn't figure it out I guess...

-

fact in the end is Beefheart gets his great cover-version,

there's some fuzzy (wah-wah) guitar to be enjoyed all around,

I made me some awesome Blues Brothers artwork

(just click the pic, you know what I mean!)

and the songs really rock, so what do I care?

[:-)

Enjoy!

221: Wah-Wah Chronicles part 22, actually it's part 23, I've lost counting I guess :-)

Hi.

-

Today the Wah-Wah chronicles continue with

some really, really smokin tunes...

It's all here, smooth disco, excellent blues,

great soul and some funky (acid)jazz-rock.

-

Somewhere in these tunes IS a wah-wah, it may

take some time for some to appear, but it's there!

-

I must thank Greg, Cheeba, Nikos1109, & Dr.Okeh

for some of the featured songs here,

the Gaturs for the ode to my favorite drink,

and especially Michael Jackson for his

contribution in closing this wah-wah special...

216: Twice as nice...

Hi.

Today the covers squad hits town again!

At least twice, but some get a bit more attention...

-

Charlie Hunter does a brilliant job,

Earl Klugh sounds terrible,

Ian Siegal is a must-see-live-kinda-thing,

(and get totally splashed, soaked & genuine drunk :-)

Julius Brockington is a very underrated genius (who?),

Quinteplus should have left the drum solo out,

Sidney, George & Jackie did it all Temptations-like

and the rest is up to you for to comment on...

-

Hope you'll enjoy these ones - again -

I must thank all the original bloggers,

without whom this constantly cosy, coincidental corny

cover-continuum couldn't continue co-exist.

-

I especially mention Vincent here, who brought us Ray

Bryant's version of the good-old Ode To Billie Joe!

Happy New Year!

Hi.

In 2009 this place's gonna be full of comps, mixes and

terrible thematic terror, no worries!

For now let me just say there's a lot of hidden treasures

I shared with some folks over at other places.

Feel free to comment & dig in [:-)

Peace,

211: -( F.O.R.N.I.C.A.T.E. )- - - - -(vol.3)-

Hi.

Being the last day of 2008 and all,

I thought the theme of today, well, obvious,

had to be something we all like and like to do,

had to have a bit of let's say some "make-sense

new-year's resolution suggestions" too...

and ofcourse,

had to be just be plain silly f*ckin' brilliant...

at the same time...

So,

forget about quitting the smokes,

forget about leaving that last one in the fridge,

forget about all the negative

and just let's be a little bit nicer to one another :-)

-

oh, and let's not forget:

enjoy this 2 hour workout

and remember to come as you are!

209: happy holidays...

Hi.

As for the holidays of 2008,

the closing of the year and all that jive,

I wanted to do a seasonal greetings mix-comp

much like the one I did in 2007...

But I changed my mind (a little bit) and put in

some (of the) crazy stuff (that surrounds us daily).

-

All in all, it has become a diverse, decent mix,

which will satisfy some of my listeners I hope.

-

I wish everybody all the best possible for the next year,

good health and mental well-being,

along with some love and understanding,

the occasional happy moments

and ofcourse all the musical madness one can dream of!

-

Maybe now is a good time to say a thank you

for all the support I received here,

a yet bigger thank you to all the

truly inspired & dedicated bloggers out there,

and a global BIG thank you to all the musicians,

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.
