  1. Living Colour, Vivid, 1988 on Epic

    The debut album from Vernon Reid, Corey Glover, Will Calhoun, and Muzz Skillings, better known as Living Colour. "Cult of Personality" raged all over in the late 80s - I loved their sound (metal and funk) and their presence. There are many great songs here - "Memories Can't Wait," "Open Letter (To a Landlord)," and "Middle Man" among them. My copy—I've lost the notes as to where I got it—is a Carrollton pressing likely from the 80s, in fantastic shape. It must have been from a private […]

  5. Bill Frisell—Vernon Reid - Smash & Scatteration

    This is one of those "I can't believe this happened" albums.

    But it did happen, and it happened in the mid-80s.

    And you know what that means: drum machines on a lot of the (worst) tracks. Lots of guitar synths.

    Overall, quite experimental and a mix of good and bad, tipped towards good. (But the bad is NOT good.)

  6. That #LivingColour Tiny Desk Concert has me on a bit of a #VernonReid kick, so exploring some of his collabs this morning, both familiar and new to me.

    Feel free to mute this thread, I'll keep it ongoing today as I listen.

    First up was Yohimbe Brothers, Front End Lifter (2002).

    YB was a collab b/w DJ Logic and Reid from 2002. I played this a lot in the early '00s but haven't revisited in probably 10 years (at least!). I feel like Logic has sort of faded from view these days but he did a lot during this period to translate the art of turntablism into a variety of settings.

  8. A strange mix of two things I dig, music and political analysis, but in a weirdly fascinating, specific way: " #VernonReid and #CoreyGlover from the band #LivingColour join us for a discussion with NYU fascism and propaganda professor, Dr. #RuthBenGhiat, about the #fascism playbook, how #authoritarian regimes end, fascism and the illusion of authenticity, modern examples like #Trump, and Billy Joel’s smashed piano."

  10. "This is a 90s live gig with #VernonReid (Living Colour, Zig Zag Trio), #DennisChambers (#P-Funk, Santana, #SteelyDan), and JP Bourelly (#MilesDavis, Cassandra Wilson) and is an hour of both accessible and experimental jams of original material, as well as some very eccentric covers of The Meters‘ “Cissy Strut” and Sonny Sharrock’s “Dick Dogs”.

    RIP TM Stevens.
