Covid-19 Music… part 12… Art Blakey, Moanin’
Art Blakey and The Jazz Messengers, Moanin’, Blue Note When the Rona is over, I’m going to celebrate by drinking wine while listening to this album. This is one of the sexiest songs ever…
Covid-19 Music… part 11… Dj Shadow, What does your soul look like
Dj Shadow, What does your soul look like, Mo Wax… This DJ Shadow single is always a favourite. I don’t remember when or where I found it but I’m happy its in my collection. I remember this one time this crazy person came over I put this record on. Long story short, they didn’t like …
Covid-19 Music… part 10… Bill Withers, Still Bill
Bill Withers, Still Bill… Bill Withers died today. I only have one of his albums for the celebration today… I always had some difficulties find them used. My copy of Still Bill is a bit hacked and you can really tell that Lean on me was quite over played by the previous owner. Lovely day …
Covid-19 Music… part 9… Rjd2, Ghostwriter
Rjd2, Ghostwriter… Ghostwriter was a favourite a while a back. The rest of the album is ok, however the title track is what really does it for me. Also using helvetica and adjusting the kerning is something I used to do myself. I have never been to Vancouver but this video solves a lot of …
Covid-19 Reading… part 1… Flu Book
So I found this book at some charity used book sale a few years ago and was able to get it for $1. Didn’t read it at the time but I was looking at my bookshelf and thought that this might be the best time to read it. So, I’m not going to do a …
Covid-19 Music… part 8… Soul Makossa
Afrique, Soul Makossa, Mainstream Records… So apparently Manu Dibango died today from the Covid-19. I really wish I had more of his music. Its really hard to find his stuff used (or new) in the record stores that I usually go to. I would love to get more of his albums (and more classic African …
Covid-19 Music… part 7… Plastikman, Musik
Plastikman, Musik… I think I once met Richie Hawtin and I have to say I was a bit drunk at the time, so I don’t remember much about it other than he seemed not too happy. Anyways, I liked most of his stuff he made in the 90s, and would pick it up if I …
Covid-19 Music… part 6… Squarepusher, Port Rhombus
Squarepusher. I have to admit that I don’t like everything that he has produced. Basically, I like his early and new stuff; not a big fan of his mid career stuff. Anyways… the B side of the Port Rhombus E.P. has this track called ‘Problem Child’ which I used to listen to in the mornings …
Covid-19 Music… part 5… JJ Fad, Supersonic
Supersonic, J.J. Fad, Ruthless records… This is one big difference between Toronto and Detroit. If you said that you like the song ‘supersonic’ in either city it means two different things. In Toronto, this is what supersonic means. This is what supersonic means for Detroit people and for me as well… Checking the back, it …
Covid-19 Music… part 4… Gescom, Keynell
I got this Gescom record years and years ago (at Orange Monkey). And yes it just came in bubble wrap and an inner sleeve. Its from the electronic – abstract/experimental section… I believe that it’s good to have some variety sometimes, and I also like electronic music sometimes. From wikipedia apparently this record is 20+ years old. …
