Badass

 

 

I loved Paul’s Boutique when it was released.  There are a ton of Johnny Hammond and Jimmy Smith samples.  Johnny Hammond and Jimmy Smith kick ass!  No wonder I love the Beastie Boys

 I Love this song. I went to find something else and saw this instead. RIP Jeff Healey

 

here he covers the Neil young song Like a Hurricane. Posting a Roxy music cover as Bonus

 

Good Morning TBD. It's the day before the AFC east championship. GO BILLS

 

edit: Adam Sandler? really. lol Im posting that too

 

 

 

 

EDIT: I have goosebumps over the Roxy music clip AND the Adam Sandler. Both were new for me today and I AM Blown away. I think this is an Omen. Today until tomorrow is going to be brutal.  I'm so excited I can hardly stand it LOL

how fun is this. My son is the bass player in this clip. The song title is identical. I haven't heard this in a few years. He is out of music now. These were some fun times for all of us. Check out his vintage Gibson black ripper. same bass as Gene Simmons from KISS plays.

J Geils is awesome party music. Especially Live. J Geils vinyl can be found in bargain bins- and great to add to collection.  Full House is a good live album.

J Geils kicks ass live!

My eldest graduated University of Maryland this past semester and me and wifey paid one last visit for a UMD/USC game. Pre-game we walked through a  party hosted by a black student group and the DJ was playing Payback. Had never heard it, bad #$@%#  @ass!!! Thanks to shazam I added it to a playlist.

Funny story- my job I go into a lot of affluent houses, and I have great relationships with my customers.  I befriended an older gentleman, who taught microbiology at Brown, and he worked for the CDC.  Hes an interesting fellow, probably in his 80s, and we always have interesting conversation.  I notice when I walk in the front door, the first room on the right has nice stereo, a large collection of CDs, and a comfortable chair.  I ask "What a great room!  Is that your listening room?  Do you enjoy music?"  "Yes I love music"  He loved Oscar Peterson and older jazz.  I talk to him about jazz.  I say " you know what I love about jazz is that some goes in a bluesy direction, and some goes in funky direction"  He says "Peter, what is funk?  Ive never heard"  "You never heard funk?  Have you heard James Brown?"  "No".  Wow I think, this dude has been deep in academia his whole life.  I cue up James Brown The Payback, and he put the headphones on... I saw the face of an 80 year old getting his mind blown!  I will never forget the look on his face, it was pure joy and discovery!  "Peter"  he said "I really, really like this Funk!"  It not every day you blow an 80 year old genius's mind!
