The Music Thread

[Seth Milner]

Being a fan of Country music; the older stuff, I was surprised to find that you folks have a new FM radio station (107.7) in Hendersonville that plays the older country music. I believe it's a new FM side to an already established AM station, WHKP (?)
The only thing I have against it is a daily three hour tirade by some idiot named Rush Limbaugh. He's got to be the Vrede too of the conservative ranks.

This is the song of the week.

OK. Now tell what in hell they're saying!

It's real smooth and flows good. That whole album is really good, makes me feel real good.

Pete Rock - Step Up Lyrics

A little bit, if you can get it out
I ain't gonna say it 'cause I'll mess it up, go ahead then
Yeah, know what I'm sayin' I.N.I. in the place
Here to do our thing, you what I'm sayin' step up time
Time to claim something that's real out here know what I'm sayin'
Something that you can live for know what sayin'
Seize you know what I'm sayin'
Time to build time to step up yo

I stay at the center of news got, in interviews
([Unverified])
(You can't lose G)
Overstand the whooze see the style that can woo
When you witness the God of the groove
Sayin' some shit to smooth to make you move
Showing improve plus to track a lot
Yeah, I'm hot like what up in your face with the product
No hesitation in the world of frustration
'Cause we're facing a 'Grown Man Sport' situation

Check it, each time we hit the studio
We lay down laws with no pause
We already be little with floors
Shit protection like the ultimate driving machine
We stand lean and always literate what we mean
Brothers don't be overstanding the plans that we been having
Crushing all these clowns 'cause it's all about the mic grabbing
I'm from the land where the righteous and the woo gress
The Vernonville will live the life that be true
([Unverified])

Step up, step up time
Step up, step up time
Yeah 'cause it's step up time
Step up time, step up, yo
Step up time, yeah, yeah
Step up, step up time
Step up, step up time
Step up, kid, step up time
Yeah, yeah, step up time

Fare-la, the pray starts now you smell the first sparks at the flame
The Gods warn me that's is not a game
So is he's to proceed the first seed was drop
When I.N.I. came to rock the spot
I caught the props when I flock to the hot jam at the city
The shorties look pretty wanna join my committee
Of Rude Boy rebel, underground like the devil

But I never pray this man came eye daze from smoke
And thoughts about the stage gettin' smoke
Cogeneration all going from broke
You know you can't cope with Rassta with the fire in his eyes
Yo, it ain't no surprise, I keep it live to survive to shitsome
I can't get caught up as a victim
But if I do, I go out 'cause I'm bout fed up as a fatboy
([Unverified])
It's time for I.N.I. to make noise

Step up, step up time
Step up, step up time
Yeah 'cause it's step up time
Step up time, step up, yo
Step up time, yeah, yeah
Step up, step up time
Step up, step up time
Step up, kid, step up time
Yeah, yeah, step up time

So now you know there no need to stop elavatin'
Penetratin' the glass top, the glass top
Hold on to manhood before your life
'Cause some situations is bond to get strife
You won't get a harvest if you don't sold seeds
I'll gain wealth bring stress from dirty deeds
The choices that you make will profill your needs
But the shit you go though will be hard to believe

Yo, shit's ridiculous and I should know by now
Still with some particular flow hits me over somehow
From selling qills in the streets, to makin' phat beats
Fuckin' with cheats to makin mince meat
The wrong move spells defeat, the wisdom is shown
Things I see first the knowledge is known
I wanna apologize to seize I stone
Step up time you on your own

Step up, step up time
Step up, step up time
Yeah 'cause it's step up time
Step up time, step up, yo
Step up time, yeah, yeah
Step up, step up time
Step up, step up time
Step up, kid, step up time
Yeah, yeah, step up time

And we out I.N.I. flavor peace
Grap Luva, Rob-O, Ras, Marco Polo
I.N.I., Grap Luva on the beat
Sure sounds complete
And my name is Pete
And we out til' next week, peace

OK. Now tell what in hell they're saying!

thanks to an npr piece on Wednesday, I heard about Slim Harpo. Hard to believe that I never heard of him before.

if you are similarly unenlightened, check him out

by 1964, several of his tracks had been released on albums and singles in the UK,[8] and British rock bands like the Rolling Stones, the Pretty Things, the Yardbirds, the Kinks, Pink Floyd and Them began to feature versions of his songs in their early repertoires. The Moody Blues reportedly took their name from an instrumental track of Slim's called "Moody Blues".[7]

Other notable covers of Slim Harpo songs include "I Got Love If You Want It" by the Kinks, "I'm the Face" by the Who (when they were still called the High Numbers), "I'm A King Bee" by the Rolling Stones, Muddy Waters, the Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd and the Doors, and "Don't Start Crying Now" by Them with Van Morrison.


not sure how I missed this guy

Define "understood".

No need, I wrote them. This is the real world ID Mr.B provided too many clues to.

Like, who really gives a shit who you are. Or what you are. Or what you think you are.

RIP Lynn Anderson. 1948-2015

I saw that today. Won't be long before all the good ones from the past will be replaced with <gulp, good grief> what's out there today.

On a different theme, I saw where "Rowdy" Roddy Piper died at 61. Not a wrestling fan, but he was colorful, fun to watch, and down right mean as hell! "I have come here to chew bubble gum and kick ass. And I’m all out of bubble gum."

[JTA]

I think that ones up Seth Milner's alley. Figured I'd post it for him.

[Seth Milner]

Uh, no, but thanks anyway.

[O Really]

RIP Lynn Anderson. 1948-2015

I saw that today. Won't be long before all the good ones from the past will be replaced with <gulp, good grief> what's out there today.

"Rose Garden" was one of my favorites back when it was big and there was such a thing as "music radio." But it's been gone a long time and there's been quite a lot of good music behind it. If you liked Lynn Anderson, I would think you'd find Lady Antebellum (for example) acceptable.

Motörhead frontman Lemmy has switched from whiskey to vodka for health reasons

...

70-year-old rocker was stricken with gastric distress and dehydration, and he now walks with a the aid of a stick because “my legs are fucked.” He also suffers from diabetes, but he’s found an interesting way to combat the illness; instead of his usual Jack Daniels and coke, Lemmy has switched to vodka and orange juice in order to stay healthy.

“I like orange juice better,” he told The Guardian in a recent interview. “So, Coca-Cola can fuck off.”

...

“Apparently I am still indestructible,” he insisted, noting that the only thing that will keep him from playing music is death itself. “As long as I can walk the few yards from the back to the front of the stage without a stick,” he said, adding with a laugh, “Or even if I do have to use a stick.”
