Newcleus - Computer Age (Push The Button) (1984)

Computer Age (Push the button) sounds as fresh today as it did 35 years ago.  Newcleus, have been jamming on it forever now, this track helped many others to push the button, as did the Jam on it track.  Ben Cozmo D Cenac pushed a button that never stopped, actually it helped to trigger so much, when you hear this kind of music, you want to start lockin, popping, and looking for cardboard to break on!  As someone commented on Youtube " JAMS for grown ups!!" Word.. I am glad, I had the pleasure of knowing and feeling Newcleus from the day this was launched,  been cranking in my playlist for 35 years, and the CRANK continues to JAM ON IT.

Purple Haze - Kronos Quartet

The Kronos Quartet doing a blotted or hazy version of Jimmy Hendrix Purple Haze. Quite a thing. I wonder if the San Francisco quartet were lucky enough to enjoy Jimmy live or the Haze of back yonder. They certainly have been around long enough to try the Haze, smoked or in blotted paper format, perhaps both and all, and they would be in the right geographical location too. With or without a smoke or blotted paper, I like Jimmy and this version has been morphing around my senses and ears for sometime.

Miriam Makeba - The Click Song (Distinct Version)

Lemmy 'Special' Mabaso : See you later - My friend Jamie Steels soundtrack

In Madrid's sierra, 'neath the stars so bright, Our family gathered horizontal that night. Comets blazed across the sky, a sight so grand, While Lemmy's music plays, a life's soundtrack, so grand. And Jamie claimed this theme his life Laughter fills the air, as we imagined Jamie shopping to this sound, dreams within reach, Under starlit skies, we silently preach. Hopes and dreams, in the night, took flight, In the galaxys embrace, we found delight. In the garden of the Steels.

Time for a little Charlotte

Time for a little Charlotte Moorman. We forget easily the influence musicians like Charlotte have had on bigger players. The Avant guard has influenced and continues to propel and arrive in our daily feeds. The naked cello player was much more than naked.
