Damn I love Cool Calm Pete.
His timber.
His tempo.
Video’s from Black Friday, which dropped before Lost.
Both are real good.
Olu Dara, a guitarist, cornet player (is there a word for this? Cornetist?), and father to Nas.
While he’s definitely been eclipsed by his son in terms of fame and fortune, that’s no indication of his talent and spirit.
Neighborhoods was Dara’s sophomore album and one heavily influenced by god.
Posting up a few songs by him and his son’s song “life’s a bitch”. Dara played cornet on it at the end and its interesting to think about what talks the two might have together. What their relationship is like and how the teach each other.
Olu Dara – Strange Things Happen Everyday
Love the intonation he puts on “foxy” in the first line.
The first time I saw the Galang video I was in love. Any person who can break it down with the chicken-leg dance while wearing some pimp-my-crazy outfits like that video is…damn, no words.
She really needs no introduction. Biggest thing since Debbie Deb.
I was counting down the days to Kala this summer and shit blew me away when I heard Paper Planes. Blew everyone away. It’s just the ‘Gang’ in Galang…wait, no, its just damn good. At a time of having recently returned to weird-ass America, and once again pissed at the world’s disequilibria, the lyrics hit me. HARD. Especially when I got back to school.
Here are some remixes of Planes that have come out over the past bunch of months.
Love it.

Del the Funky Homosapien has a new album coming out today, March 11th.
If you don’t know Del, then you act like you know and watch this video and cop his new album.
…Cause one day it may matter.”
After the last post on Little Feat, I feel compelled to paint some contrast.
Back in the day of that BBC video, nobody would have dreamed this next video was possible. Then again, back in the days of Ragtime, nobody would have predicted the emergence of a group like Little Feat, revolutionary in its own right.
DJ Qbert has been someone to take the concept of music and sampling and the expanse of instrumentation to another level entirely. There have been lots of people who have popularized and brought their own unique techniques and approaches to turntablism, but Qbert (to me) has always been at the fore.
These videos are madd old and the art has progressed incredibly since them, but they’re still illy vanilly.
And you gotta love the two goofy brits doing the White-Man Neck-Bob.

Little Feat are one of the greatest rock bands ever. Bask in their greatness with some phenomenal footage from the BBC. These videos were recorded at 9:30 in the morning because that was the only time they could fit them in, but they rock like a mutha. Check Lowell George with the preppy getup and sweater around his neck, hilarious.
