SOME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #13.


FELA KUTI.
"THe only true revolutionary in music."

Thats not true. Thats not even a quote but it sounds right, right? No seriously, though. Fela Kuti is amazing. While some musicians were singing for peace and unity in the western world. In Nigeria, Fela was getting stomped out by oppressive government soldiers for trying to elevate the standard of living of his people. WHILE making incredible music, i can't even describe, just watch the video.

The Tough Alliance



Not the best videos but this Swedish duo's music is blowing my mind. The band members Henning Fürst and Eric Berglund own the record label Sincerely Yours and have released three ep's and 2 full length albums.

SoME GREAT MUSICS VOLUME #12.


SHINKI CHEN.

You can't begin to understand how much i love this. Just look at the cover. Look at it. Shinki Chen was part of a post-war japanese psychedelic rock contingent going on during the early 70s. He is known by some as the "Japanese Hendrix". That is not true, he does not resemble Hendrix in any way. But, I love him. Compared to what bands we're doing in the states at this time this is exponentially more burnt and depressed and I can not even think why. I can't understand the language. I don't know. They're all perverts if you ask me.

FILMZ. VOLUME 4.


TAKEAWAY SHOWS: YEASAYER.



If you think its weird that I'm writing this much about video stuff that FUCK OFF.

HAH. JOKE.

No seriously, though. If you don't have a feigning interest in THE TAKEAWAY SHOWS already than I suggest giving a serious look through their catalogue. BUT, this isn't as much about the show as it is the band. I've talked about Yeasayer before on here. I liked them a lot for a while and their stuff got tired to me and I decided to label them as "okay".  In Vincent Moon's (The director of The Takeaway shows, look it up on your own time) arrangement of 2080 Yeasayer really shows their ability to groove and their affinity for music. The song features, in the impromptu takeaway shows fashion, a piano accompanied with all the other members filling in their instrument parts with their voices, the exception being the drummer who uses a set of keys hitting a beer bottle for percussion. Theirs a sort of surprise in the video so i wont' spoil it. Just stop playing beyblades for ONE MINUTE and watch this video. Please.

FILMZ. VOLUME 3.


CARDIEL.
ViceTV is running a series on the life and times of John Cardiel. He is the burliest man alive. Everything ever caught on film of him is burly. He is so burly that he broke his spine and fixed it himself. That is not an exaggeration. This is the manliest documentary of all time if you do not watch it you are not a man and dishonor all of manhood. Man.

Caroline Rose


CAROLINE ROSE is someone I would like to think of as a good friend.  She has been writing music ever since she took up the guitar in seventh grade, and has been playing music live in Westhampton Town for the past three summers.  She has recently been recording a demo, and I am now in possession of it.  I love it, it reminds me of summer.  I am not saying this just because she is my friend, I am saying it because its really really, honestly good.  
She spends her time going to Wellesley (college) in just outside of Boston; and she has vivid dreams of having a relationship with the one and only satan.  
if you want the rest of the EP, just message me at losjellybones.
