    amf.didiermary.fr/orchestre-su

    Super Borgou de Parakou was a band created by Moussa Mama and guitarist Menou Roch. This group, influenced by Afrobeat and Funk in the 1970s, also drew inspiration from Beninese folk music such as Bariba and Dendi.

    Originating from the Kwara state of northwest Nigeria, the Bariba – a predominantly Islamic […]

  17. 🇺🇸 Lipps Inc. "Funkytown" – 1979

    Inspired by Greenberg’s frustration with Minneapolis and his fantasy of finding somewhere more exciting, finding his own "Funkytown". Released as a single in 1979, it became a worldwide phenomenon, reaching No. 1 in the US and in numerous other countries...

    🇬🇧 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...

  19. Q: Are We Not Men?

    #Devo #arewenotmen #70smusic #altrock #70srock #rock #rockmusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky Q: Are We Not Men? A: We Are Devo! The line and the band's name are based on a satirical and pessimistic theory of human society called "de-evolution". The band's concept of "de-evolution" posits that, contrary to the idea of human progress, mankind is actually regressing. Based on the last few years, I'd say they knew what the hell they were talking about.

  22. 🇬🇧 David Bowie "The Trident Tapes" – 2015

    Recorded in late 1973 and early 1974, these tapes offer an alternative glimpse into the development of material that would become part of one of Bowie’s most transitional periodes. Some even used on Scary Monsters. It is compelling hearing familiar songs in a less polished, more immediate form...

  32. THE MUPPETS
    The Muppet Movie (Original Soundtrack Recording)
    1979 Canada pressing

    The Muppets were a pivotal part of my childhood.
    From The Muppet Show to the subsequent movies, those characters and songs are tattooed on my heart and soul forever.

    Until today, it was the only soundtrack of the initial run of movies (Movie, Caper, Manhattan, Christmas Carol) that I didn’t own on vinyl.

    Regardless of how you feel about The Muppets, this is worth owning solely for Paul Williams’ “Rainbow Connection”, just a stunningly beautiful song regardless of how old you are.

    An even bigger bonus is that this was a used copy that STILL had the movie poster inside of it. They’re almost always missing.

    If I were to ever adopt a child, I’d want it to be Animal.

  33. VARIOUS ARTISTS
    All Ears (10 New And Original Hits With A CB Theme)
    1977 U.S. pressing

    Quite the ridiculous record that I just couldn’t pass up, because it looked JUST like my kinda stupid.

    Made for Radio Shack in the mid #70s , this is a collection of songs that all have a CB theme to them.

    Rock, jazz, R&B, gospel, soul… this thing is ALL over the place, but all the songs drive down the Citizens Band 2-Way radio highway.

    In all honesty, there’s some pretty good tunes on here. “Honey Bee (Please Answer Me)” by Randy Goodrum is a particular standout for me, as is “Everybody's Somebody (In Our C.B. World)” by Ed Bernet.

    For only $1.00, I couldn’t go wrong.
    Pretty entertaining shit, straight down to the “Index Of Terms Used By CB’ers” on the back cover.

    10-4, good buddy.
    Over and out.

  36. WARREN ZEVON
    Excitable Boy
    1978 Canada pressing

    The man, the myth, the legend gets last spin of the night.

    Truly one of the greatest songwriters to ever walk the Earth, and a flawless album front to back.
    It’s actually quite embarrassing.
    There isn’t a song on this record that’s not great.
    Not GOOD…
    GREAT.

    A true one of a kind talent the likes we’ll never see or hear again.

    If you’ve never seen it, go on YouTube and watch his final appearance on Letterman.
    Zevon was dying, and Dave gave him the WHOLE show that night.

    Even on death’s door, he performed immaculately, and in the interview was funny, self-deprecating and fully the Warren we’ve always known.
    It’s a remarkable and incredibly emotional watch.

    Excitable boy, they all said.

    He sure was.

    Just the greatest.

    The Who, “The Kids Are Alright” soundtrack, 1979

    I encountered this film at the height of my Who mania, and it was EVERYTHING to me. It has grainy black-and-white footage of early gigs, TV appearances including the moment on the Smothers Brothers when Keith destroyed Pete’s hearing with explosives (not a metaphor), performances at The Rolling Stones' Rock and Roll Circus and at Woodstock, the video for “Success Story,” an outstanding deep cut of John’s (with the studio recording from “Who By Numbers," not included on the soundtrack album), their last appearance with Keith at Shephardson Studios, staged expressly for the film, and more. What it didn't have is the song “The Kids Are Alright.” (Seems they’ve added it onto the later DVD and Blu-ray releases behind additional closing credits, but I liked their little joke better.)

    One of the best segments of the film/selections on the album, and itself somewhat in keeping with the “kid” theme, is their performance of Mose Allison’s “Young Man’s Blues.” The attitude of the original was already pure punk; in The Who’s hands, this jazz/blues piano piece becomes muscular, even menacing.

    They fucking kill it.
