A Bloody '10 New Years Eve Party Mix !!!

Image
Aloha ! So yeah, this is it, another bloody year is almost behind us goddammit ! I think I’ve said quite the same thing last year but I know it's been a difficult year for some, a year of changes for others, a year of absolutely NOTHING for the rest of you, and fortunately for some, it’s been the year of good luck, wheter because your horrible aunt died and left you with a shit load of money, or it’s just because you met the woman of your life. Or the man of your life. Or both. Anyway, it’s been a change even for this very blog, see, ‘twas a cool tiny blog with a lot of ripped 45 rpm and now pfffff look at this, only mixes, that’s a freakin’ shame. Naaaaaa, just kidding, you love those mixes, and seriously, it’s a good excuse while making a mix to have a drink, smoke 5-10 cigarettes, play those things loud and have a big laugh, so let’s go on shall we ! I’m not supposed to MAKE music all the time for heaven’s sake ! Speaking of that, THANKS a million for your feedback on the free l...

El mondo is loco.' Yep, it’s a real present, 8 original tracks for freakin’ FREE / NADA (it’s copyrighted though), no seriously it’s free until the end of the year, so that means, if you’re reading this and see no dowload link, boy, you’re too late.

A Bloody Reverend Mix !

Image
Chidren of the night ! My dears ! Ok, first of all, the ‘Blues Rules’ festival was a total blast. Good friends,good times, good whiskey and a fantastic crowd. So things are getting really good for your host from now on ! And…ok so here’s the thing, I hope you won’t mind too much, but as things are getting tied for me, I can’t find the proper time to choose my records and pick up an unknown genius every week. So I’m going to keep this blog alive of course (and frankly, I’ve been asking a lot of readers), thee bloody mixes are your favorites, so hell yeah, I’m gonna keep the mixes (maybe I don’t know, once a month, you tell me, sounds good to me anyway) but I have to really slow down things concerning the artists posts ! I truly hope you don’t mind thee big change ! Honestly, I don’t want to close or abandon this very bloody blog, it brings me (and brings you all obviously) some real joy, so let’s keep this little monster alive shall we. So, to start this new life (hum), this is your mo...

Bukka White !

Image
Yeeha Folks ! A quick note, there’ll be no post next week for a good reason then,I’m playing in this sweeet Blues Festival in Switzerland next Sunday, so if you’re near, come check this out and bring yo’ mama ! Speaking of Delta, I was quite sure I did a post about a real master but hell no...so here it is ! Born Booker T. Washington White, Bukka White started his career playing the fiddle at square dances and he claims to have met Charlie Patton early on, regardless, Patton was a large influence on White ! Oh and he's the one who gave his cousin B.B. King, his first guitar ! He first recorded for the Victor Records label in 1930, whom, like those of many other bluesmen, fluctuated between country blues and gospel numbers. His gospel songs were done in the style of Blind Willie Johnson, with a female singer accentuating the last phrase of each line. Nine years later, while serving time, he recorded for folklorist John Lomax. The few songs he recorded around this time became his mo...

The New Dimensions !

Image
The New Dimensions ! McFly, we’re back again in 1963 ! On the front cover of the Sundazed Lp, you’ll see a very young Michael Lloyd (who looks about 13) and future Three Dog Night keyboardist Jimmy Greenspoon (who doesn't look much older). Yes folks, they were the New Dimensions, and they were all about 13 or 16 !!! And hell yeah, it's all very competently played, especially considering their youth. The history of this obscure group is certainly well documented in the liner notes, however, with the help of many recollections from Lloyd. Anyway, the band never had any singles released. They worked with these hustler types by the name of Robert Hafner and Tony Hilder who had a deal with a tiny budget label called Sutton to issue the New Dimension albums as 'rack jobs.' Essentially that meant their records would be pressed on cheap vinyl normally reserved for placemats, packaged in fairly generic sleeves, and shipped directly to the cut out bins with no hope of promotion, ...

A Bloody Magic Mix !

Image
Magic, sometimes known as sorcery, is the practice of consciousness manipulation and/or autosuggestion to achieve a desired result, usually by techniques described in various conceptual systems. The practice is often influenced by ideas of religion, mysticism, occultism, science, and psychology. Yes baby, watch me howl and hear my circus coming, I’m gonna put a spell on you ! Rev.

Little Caesar !

Image
Harry 'Little' Caesar was born into a family of steelworkers in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on 1928 and he grew up in Youngstown, Ohio. Harry’s youth was misspent as a gang member under his knickname ‘Kid Wolf’. He was imprisoned for six months during the 1940s for inciting riots, and upon release became a reformed character, joigning a church choir. Harry migrated from gospel to R&B and from Youngstown to Oakland, California, where he began working with the Peter Rabbit Trio and Que Martyn. His career out of music, which started in the late 1950s, was, if anything, more interesting than his career in music. He was a truck driver and actor in B-movies and TV series, including 'Baretta, Hill Street Blues,' 'Mannix,' ,'Hart To Hart,' and ‘The Dukes Of Hazzard’ ! Anyway, Caesar's tunes were full of pathos, and on cuts like the eerie, near-suicidal plaint "River," he comes across like a lo-fi Roy Orbison of soul, dripping with broken-hearted d...

Jim Waller & the Deltas !

Image
Howdy ! Yeah ok sorry about last week, I was on holidays, I even received complaints by email...You're as mad as me folks ! Ok a lil' bit of sun here...The R&B-inflected surf combo the Deltas formed at Fresno State College in 1961. Eventually billed as Jim Waller & the Deltas, the band featured a lineup of Waller on piano and organ, Terry Christofsen on guitar, Ray Carlson on saxophone, Terry Christenson on drums, and Eddie Atkinson on bass. An R&B-inflected surf combo, Jim Waller & the Deltas formed at Fresno State College in 1961 and featured a lineup of Waller on piano and organ, Terry Christofsen on guitar, Ray Carlson on saxophone, Terry Christenson on drums and Eddie Atkinson on bass, and the band disbanded in 1967. The Deltas released an LP of instrumentals called Surfin' Wild on Arvee Records in 1963 (Sundazed reissued Surfin' Wild on CD in 1995).Raucous and fun, these dozen instrumentals sound more like King Curtis then they do Dick Dale, and th...
