As gross as the Epstein emails are, it really brings home that reality truly is a Boondocks cartoon: elite erudites blowing smoke up the ass of brain dead slimeballs that have something they want and can get away* with having.

A very quick rundown of genre hopping for the Isleys from 1957-1983:
DooWoop -> Gospel -> Rock -> Garage Rock -> Northern Soul -> Early Funk -> Psychedelia -> Socially Conscious Soul -> Hard Funk -> Disco -> Synth Funk -> Quiet Storm
DooWoop -> Gospel -> Rock -> Garage Rock -> Northern Soul -> Early Funk -> Psychedelia -> Socially Conscious Soul -> Hard Funk -> Disco -> Synth Funk -> Quiet Storm
The Isley’s are insane, like, historically. People make a big deal about the Beatles range & evolution but it’s ridiculous Shout (1959) and Between the Sheets (1983) were by the same band! They arguably continued their run into the aughts if you count big samples

I’m forever recommended this Uriah Heep live clip on YouTube, and I’m forever wondering what type of crowd work David Byron did to entertain the audience.

So I got my ticket to see Adrian Sherwood in Portland in early April. So I guess (I hope) I will be in Portland that weekend.

I’m really enjoying listening to Placebo while working. In their B-sides alone, there are 3 alternate Placebos… the ambient Placebo, the No Wave adjacent Placebo and the solid glam/post-punk cover band Placebo.

For the 1969/1970 hipsters:
Was the phrase “You better walk it / talk it or you’ll lose that beat” lingo at the time?
It was the name of a 1971 now-lost comedy soundtracked by proto-Steely Dan
It’s also the main lyric of a Velvet Underground LOADED demo called “Walk and Talk”
So what gives man?

In my chronological James Brown deep dive, I just finished Live at the Apollo (1962) and two immediate thoughts:
* Live at the Apollo was the greatest ever rock/soul live album released at the time.
* Douglas Wolk’s 33 1/3rd book on this album is objectively the most underrated of the series.

According to A.I., the title Piper at the Gates of Dawn may have had a predecessor from 5 years earlier thanks to an imaginary Chuck Berry live album from 1962.
