FUNNY WE SHOULD MEET HERE (the first real post)...

So I finally moved my old music blog from the original address, which happened to be hosted by Myspace. The reason for this is that said site is terrible for blogs. I've posted all the old posts from that blog on here as well. The new and improved blog will be written by yours truly and hopefully some other masked pop culture mavericks (this could mean you, if so desired) as time develops. Music, film, tv, art, video games, culture and a general sense of excitement should and will be presented here.

the Lyman Woodward Organization "Saturday Night Special" (1975 Strata / Wax Poetics)

A late birthday present is always a welcomed one...Friend and fellow digger Peter came through in a major way on a recent trip back to the mitten, laying this double slab of 180g vinyl reissue on me. Pressed in a quantity of only 1500, this album features some of the best instrumental Detroit jazz-funk ever blasted into microphones, courtesy of Lyman Woodward and an outstanding cast of musicians. The album cover suggests a gangster motif, complete with cash, joints, coke dollars, guns, clips, etc...Which is suitable since the music belongs in some amazing film that the blaxploitation lot wished they had made. Tons of electronic keyboard (Rhodes & Hammond) workouts, percusssion-crazed beats, bass, and the spiritual sax lines that the crew at Strata were known for. Every cut is amazing with a great variance in mood, top of the line, the reason we have reissues. Makes me wish Detroit was still cultivating such a scene...
