1619 Badass Band... no, seriously.

1619 Badass Band ... but surely you jest.

With a name like that they don't even have to play anything. Re-released on Japan's TSG RECORDS . . . Funny how the nomenclature of the era practically dictated the name of your funk/disco album much like the naming of a hurricane. Maybe there was a board of overseers or sumquat.
Here's a high quality MP# I've got kicking around...

1619 Badass Band-"Nothing Can Stop My Loving You "

here's a nonendorsed link to the album... ***

rave on.

Majik - Back Into Your Heart

Majik-"Back Into Your Heart"

Here's some really beautiful music from Vangelis.... Just put my entire household to shleeps :)
Silent Portraits 1
Silent Portraits 2
here's the repost details from Artdecade
"Created exclusively for "Silent Portraits", a project involving Italian photographer Gian Paolo Barbieri, who shot on Polaroid a series of black and white photos, mostly all portraits, of the inhabitants of the nation of Seychelles. The book and photographs together make up this project, and was published by Garzanti Editore S.p.A. in 1984.

The book has a clothbound hardback cover that measures an 15.5 inches horizontally and 12 inches vertically. It is 132 pages in length, filled with images on glossy paper. The foreword is presented in both French and English.

The music was meant to be played while looking at the photos."

this is a release by Noncollective

support the artists involved plzz.

Speaking of rappingz...

this whole thing with Common and the 'out of touch-o-crats' in this fine land has got me reminiscing about the good ole days of hip hop...
here's my favorite Common track...

And today someone played me a remix/edit of Eric B. and Rakim's Paid In Full
Dubble D & Rakim Soul Squelch (Greg Wilson's mashup) by dubble d
Something wikipedia is not aware of is that the Ofra Haza song from 1977 (a good year I might add) is the main vocal sample in the original "Paid In Full" ...

then ...

somehow that's not listed on the wiki. anyways...
here's a remix of the original Ofra haza track...

baaaaaaaaaaaah

House Of The Day...

I heard this song earlier and it is spring in Lawrence, Ma... nice combination.
Also just found the entire John Anthony West series "Magical Egypt in it's entirety posted on Youtube...
If I didn't have a dad already, I would write Mr. West and ask him to be dad.

Oh Those Blues....

Todd Edward's music has always been some of my favorite mood stabilizers. I think I own everything he's ever put out and he's more than partially to blame for my i! Records addiction (in recovery as there aren't anymore to buy :). I remember hearing Alabama Blues on a Dana Kelley mix from 1995 and it was a mitigating factor getting me deep into house/garage music back in the "RAVE DAYS."

Here's a couple of my favs...








this is one of my absolute favorite garage recs... whenever I hear this my mind plays the same mental music video it played in 1995 in which some crazy, pitchfork wielding farmer is dancing around with a blade of grass in his mouth, bare feet and a pair of dirty overalls... he opens a can of psychedelic beans or something and the song starts playing. hmmm...


and speaking of crazy farmer house...
the Moreso - "Take My Hand" release on i! Records in 1998 was frigging RIDICULOUS!
I have the vinyl somewhere and will post the 4 tracks in entirety soon but for now here's the most "clubby" of the 4 tracks. It's got a very Todd Edwards style vocal dubbing going on.


And while we're on UK Garage...
honestly, I'm not a big fan of the cheese garage stuff. However there is a creepyness to alot of the Todd Edwards tracks and also Filthy Rich's B-Side stuff... this record falls into that category... Man I used to flog this record... oh the 90's. My copy of this was actually cracked one night. The insode B cut is still playable... I'm pretty sure the track is the first dubstep format song ever. Another one I need to dig out. This youtube vid is the inside a-cut I think.
G.O.D. Limited 5

and another G.O.D. Limited record... #4.
A nice Deelite sample in there... nastttty bassline. I don't think my copy even plays anymore :)

***New Music*** from Hatchback

Earth's huddled masses continue their subconscious preparation for a paradigm shift and one of the more tolerable byproducts is Hatchback's new release "The Violet Sequence." I'm pretty sure this track was on Hatchback (Sam Grawe)'s Zeus & Apollo Soundcloud page about a year or so ago but no matter. Apparently, Sam's job as editor of the ever-so-fuckable Dwell Magazine is keeping him too busy to manage more than one secret music moniker. No matter... Dwell Magazine, if human, could certainly appreciate a sensible consolidation of the many lush soundscapes of present-day Hatchback. Brooding beneath a shimmering ambiance, musical vehicles such as The Violet Sequence are proto-ambient disco gems. Hatchback will gently envelope your senses while flying you off in a vintage '53 lunar lander. Android love-bots will beckon to your subconscious from Mikado Yellow Baughman chairs and peering from their 22nd century bay window. Ok, so perhaps I'm being dramatic but Sam's music makes it just that much easier to imagine that the kinder-gentler Utopian dream is not so far off after all. Some music of the "Cosmic" and/or "Balearic" genres can leave you sour from the settling dust of contrived fuzziness or 'look-at-me' melodies. Hatchback's songs trigger some Atlantian meme in my subconscious. Receptors are synthetically rewarded for a 'job-well-done.' Barrel chested ghosts of Easter Island and well-groomed inhabitants of true ancient Egypt (circa 38,000 BC) walk alongside cantankerous Nephilim listening to Sunn O))) on teal iPods and for a moment everything seems to warp into logical sense. In our present times of prefab fear, name-brand wonder, and seemingly endless disinformation it's easy to laugh off the last few years' deluge of "cosmic", "slo", "step", etc. as a byproduct of world culture-gone-mad, a sort of inevitable waste product. Good thing there are artists like Hatchback who prove there to be another more righteous source of art. His internal 'tuner' can clearly descramble a station that resonates deeply with what we presentlyare as human beings but which also gives us a deep sense of where we may be going. The highway of lost house-heads, try hard hipsters, and LSD pseudo-disco-gangsters has an exit in sight.

Neglect... oh cruel neglect.

I guess I'd better hop back behind the wheel of the world before things are too late. I mean, what the hockey sticks, man. I take 6 months for myself and the world starts to crumble around me. The remix nazis have struck and struck hard but there there's still plenty o' music up here on the LMQM.
I'm just not going to describe anything anymore. I think the worst part about it all is there's no trial, or even discussion. You log on one day and half your music has been removed. Swear I could call a song (name of famous d-bag's song) and it doesn't even have to have anything to do with it. It'll be removed "just in case"
But w/e....

So Massachusetts is almost dug out from the record snow fall this winter. I could say 8 or 10 feet but no one would believe me anyways. definitely some snow drifts upwards of 15 feet though.
I'm out. More to come. I promise to do my part to ease humanity into the abyss. (that's morbid, i don't really believe all that morbid crap)

Omar Souleyman, Omar Suleiman

Iranian Pop star Omar Souleyman and New Egyptian whatever-to-be Omar Suleiman share a namesake.

"Golden Star(combo edit)"-Combolito

LORD OF THE ISLES... Psychedelic Warriors

The air is ripe with possibilities this Spring. It's the Spring Equinox.. known here as Easter. New musical genres are beginning to come of age. Dubstep is well on it's way to supplanting electro as the hipster crack of choice. And over here in grown-folks land... the 'Slow Motion', 'Cosmic' disco thing is really beginning to take a new form that is transcending it's roots in the 70's and 80's. With artists like AC, Rayko, and Zeus & Apollo cutting music that transcends and Beat Broker putting out mixtapes of all new music clocking well under 100 bpm. Labels launching to specialize in this kind of music like ANOE's Chris Keys' "Lion After Slumber".
To say this is the start of something really cool would be an understatement. This is the start of mainstream awareness of things that shamans have known for millenia. This is the start of scientific confirmation for things once relegated to the fringes of astrology, religion, and metaphysics The way music is heading is reflective of people's collective awareness. Awareness of the consciousness shifts about to hit our planet and way of life. All matter is comprised of vibrations. The inside of Quarks is nothing but a certain vibrational resonance. You can feel this realization crackling it's way through music and culture like electricity.
How else can you explain the appearance of eerily relevant outsider dance music like dubstep from seemingly out of NOWHERE, made by kids that haven't graduated high school., or the sudden simultaneous worldwide obsession and creation of a certain obscure kind of "techno" that is so slow people would've walked off the dance floor if it was played 10 years ago. But it's not slow. It's fast. We're just all starting to dance to a different drummer.
Our mitochondria is beginning to vibrate at a higher frequency. Thus those already tuned in are perceiving things like music much differently. People that are going to think I'm nuts for saying this stuff are going to think I'm nuts. But people that feel what I'm feeling will identify very much with what I'm saying. I'm pretty sure that most of this is NOT the rant of a mad man :\ I'm very confident that all things will be explained to those of us that are willing to understand.

In the mean time... I listen to music.


Here's an exclusive download from Lord Of The Isles. This wafting cosmic jounrney is here JUST in time for spring and the misty synths bring to mind Kool & The Gangs "Summer Madness".

Lord Of The Isles - "Naukluft Park"

Lord Of The Isles-"Boys Of Summer"


also... here's a link to a dubstep mix by Doctor P. which I've been bumping quite a bit lately.. guilty pleasures alert.

FLOODIN' N' THUDDIN'

So how's everyone feelin' about the new particle accelerator in Switzerland? CERN. How big a black hole will they have to produce for the Nephilim to squeeze through? Are the Nephilim what They Might Be Giants were really talking about in "Particle Man"? Are John Linell and John Flansburgh really puppets of the NWO? discuss.



So I officially live in a flood plain as of 2 weeks ago. Two floods in two weeks. What's wrong with this picture? Feeling somewhat like a third world country over here... that's fine, I can't afford the air fare anyhow.
Here's an amazing dj mix by the Sensual Harassment guys. Bollyhood they're calling it. It's a bunch of really tasty Indian funk music from back in the day.

Blog Nazis...

I got hit by the blog police pretty hard the other day hence my lack of posts in the last month. This caused me to emote heavily in a negative way.
Here's a new edit from Funxnors... definitely on the country tip in a familiar way.
Bruce Springsteen - State Trooper (FUNXORS EDIT) by FUNXORS

The Artings of Ms. Mary O'Malley.

Two of my last three postings have featured what is to me (and others) some very inspiring art from a new favorite. Mary O'Malley is a new name to me but her works have a familiar feel. Not familiar like apple pie or a rainy spring day, but a familiarity which inspires a very welcome contemplation. Though by no means an art critic, I possess a impressionably difficult pair of eyes. Last Thursday was fairly lackluster until I was introduced to Mary and subsequently, her works. Imagine my surprise upon finding this woman is a recent transplant to Boston's north shore (yeah, I am here too)... I am now freshly believing in a world where inspiration can pop out of my dad's hometown willy nilly. Beverly ain't no Brooklyn (Mary's previous zipcode) but the water is cleaner(?) and the living is easy.

Check Mary O'malley's website .
ciao!

FLOODS GO DEEP.... CHRIS EDWARDS' TAKE ON INNER BEAUTY.

So my man CRED... AKA Chris Edwards has taken a swing at the heart of darkness and knocked her senseless. His new cut Qlouds captured my attention a few days ago and he's graced LMQM with an exclusive download of this glorious cross section of simplicity gone terribly right. I am having some issues with pressing stop on this track. Please enjoy what sounds to me like a beautiful order of business....

CRED-"Qlouds"

FEVER!!! NEW SENSUAL HARASSMENT SINGLE!

This is a new single from Brooklyn's Sensual Harrassment. I could say to get on these guys while they're still the next big thing. BUT their sound is solid and they have a pretty good shot at some shelf life. They have a sound that MGMT should envy. Not going to get to gushy on this but I highly recommend you carve their name on your forehead and name your child after their deceased guitarist. you can do it. They are produced by Jesse Cannon. You might remember him if you're over 21 from a band called the Cure or under 21 from ANCO. I posted Sensual cut "Daddy Long Legs" a couple months back. This is some high level production value on these tunes. enjoy.


**************
Engineered by Jesse Cannon (The Cure, Animal Collective) and Sensual Harassment.
Mixed by Adam Scheuermann (Coldplay) and Sensual Harassment.
