Candy Slice Group, “Gimme Mick” (Saturday Night Live, Feb 17 1979)

Patti Smith’s music and words are about the closest thing to religion in my life, so it’s with mixed feelings that I give you this excerpt from SNL’s “Rock Against Yeast” skit in which Gilda Radner reprises her Candy Slice character who had appeared first earlier that season, when Patti was at her commercial peak.

The skit takes aim at rock benefit concerts, punk rock culture, rock stardom in general, and here, Patti Smith in particular (with a side of Mick Jagger).

(Video cued to begin at Gilda's segment at 5:32 but it doesn't seem to be behaving when run within Mastodon.)

CURTIS MAYFIELD
Super Fly
1972 Canada pressing

More Friday night fire, baby!!
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This album is forever GOATED.

Funky, badass psychedelic soul music from one of the greatest blaxploitation films ever made.

Lots of wah-wah guitars, gnarly percussion, funky-as-fuck bass, and Mayfield’s otherworldly falsetto.

A masterpiece tour-de-force album by one talented, funky motherfucker.

Paul & Linda McCartney's "Uncle Albert/Admiral Halsey" hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on September 4, 1971.

Released today 54 years ago:

🇬🇧 David Bowie "John, I'm Only Dancing" – 1972

One of Bowie’s great non-album singles from the Ziggy Stardust era. The lyrics were deliberately provocative for 1972, with their ambiguous sexuality contributing to the song’s reputation. RCA considered it too risqué for an American release at the time. In Britain it reached No. 12 in the singles chart...

🇩🇪 Kraftwerk "Autobahn" – 1974

It was an important moment in Kraftwerk’s evolution who was still rooted in the experimental German music scene, but now pointing decisively towards the electronic music of the future. The combination of repetition, minimalism and melody is remarkably effective...

“Alefa Madagascar: Salegy, Soukous & Soul from the Red Island 1974-1984,” the first compilation to document the unique music culture on the island during the ‘70s and ‘80s.

Originating as far back as the 15th Century through folkloric ceremonial music and an a cappella chanting style called antsa, salegy emerged as a fast-tempoed local dance […]

London Town

Wings release their 6th on March 31, 1978. This is the "synth-heavy" era for Wings. They recorded the thing in London at Apple Studios and on a yacht in the Virgin Islands but all that didn't matter -- it was another success for Paul, Linda and Denny. #wings #londontown #70srock #rockmusic #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #paulmccartney #lindamccartney #dennylaine #softrock

Nothing Seems to Matter

One of three songs written by Bonnie Raitt for her 2nd album Give It Up released in 1972. Here, she performs the song in 1977

The UK was not only fully immersed in Glam Rock, but also Progressive Rock too; although the latter was mainly ensconced in the equivalent Album Chart.
Queen will be one such band to achieve this successfully with Bohemian Rhapsody. However, before that leviathan of a single was even attempted, there came a track which has since been classed by many as the best driving song ever recorded...

This one’s always good for a chuckle.

Today, I smoked a joint, and went out to do an errand.
I pulled up to a stop sign, and waited there for 10 minutes waiting for it to turn green.

So I figured this was a good choice for the night.

A haunting performance wrapped in stark instrumentation where fragile beauty meets raw emotion turning this ballad into an unforgettable late-70s classic. Better than the Dr. Hook original... 👍

Anyone remember Annie Haslam and Renaissance? They were a part of my teen years listening to Album Oriented Radio (AOR) ... I would get excited when one of their songs would come on - which was rare because they tended to be 8 minute long art-rock numbers. I listen to her now and think how she paved the way for Kate Bush, Stevie Nicks, even Heart - but her music is largely forgotten. And I just discovered that she is still out there singing and making music ... at 77! #rememberlegends #nowplaying #listenup #music #musicworld #mixtape #randomplay #nowhearthis #simsongs #anniehaslam #renaissance #carpetofthesun #70smusic
