What song is it you wanna hear?

[Buster Highmen]

[TBS]

[The AD]

I was just going to post this. Had to go back and make sure no one had beaten me to the punch!

Love this tune
"Well, I hear that Laurel Canyon is full of famous stars/ but I hate them worse than lepers, and I'll kill them in their cars"

The rhythm section of Zigaboo Modeliste and George Porter Jr. just can't be stopped. Or topped.

2016’s Rangers Patrol 1977​~​1982 UK! seemed like an album the Rangers were destined to make, one which explores the formative period when reggae first started to mingle with other styles of music in a major way. With one notable exception, they’ve deliberately chosen songs most recognizable as “pure” punk and new wave, making the transformative aspect significantly more pronounced. You can still identify the Rangers’s versions of Sham 69’s “If the Kids Are United” or The Sex Pistols’s “The Great Rock ‘n’ Roll Swindle” by their tunes, but now they bear the distinctive hallmarks of two-tone ska: a more leisurely tempo, reverberating drums, and vocal melodies replaced with soaring organ. These songs have also been rejoined with a piece of historical context often vitally overlooked: London’s demographics were changing as rapidly as its political climate in the late 1970s and early 1980s, and that was driving a change in music. The budding, normally slight influence of reggae in many of these tracks is given more room to fully blossom.

These guys were a revelation back in the day.


For anyone who grew up listening to WLIR, there's a doc on Amazon. Lots of fun & nostalgia.

This woman is just a stone badass. Guitar and vocals both.



Also really good songwriter although obviously not this one.

Another cover. Jesse Winchester tune.


Shemekia Copeland does a nice version too

[ghosthop]

One of the great joys of being a millennial is our collective disdain for the George W. Bush presidency and anyone who helped facilitate that clusterfuck.

Noise rock at its best.

[Timberridge]

You guys listen to some weird shit.

[ötzi]

ok you guys have to give this a shot. Much better song than video, though. You can skip the watching part.



especially you, billyk, listen to some music from this milennium for once.

Yeah he's been in a bunch of stuff, Soulive, Lettuce, has a couple Grammies etc. This album just came out Feb. 4. Lettuce is pretty badass if you don't know them. Not sure if the solo album means Krasno isn't in Lettuce any more.

A little lockdown Lettuce doing a classic Meters tune:

40 years ago (!) this album was in heavy rotation at my place. Still great.

Where's Basom?

Not sure if he is or not, I know he was in the Phil & Friends and Oteil's band rotation on and off, probably just working on a bunch of different projects.

One of the horn players from Lettuce is from here in Portland, ME.

Road song.
