You Can Stream "Sour Soul" Now!

Ghostface Killah's latest album is called "Sour Soul" and it's a collaboration with some Canadian guys called BADBADNOTGOOD. You can't buy it yet but you can stream it. I suggest you go get your headphones and start listening. For the third album in a row Pretty Tone chose to work with a live band instead of rhyming over samples or computer-produced sounds. All three have a vintage soul vibe but these particular tracks have a 70's funk feel reminiscent of the movies I used to watch on Sunday afternoons on WWOR and WPIX when I was a kid.

That probably provides no context for you, but suffice it to say that there's something authentically vintage about this music. I don't think this will go down as one of GFK's all time classic albums, but it's definitely an interesting continuation of an already interesting departure from his previous style.

My favorites are Ray Gun, Nuggets of Wisdom, Mind Playing Tricks, Food and Gunshowers.

Might have to have this playing in the background while I write validation test scripts. Fun times!

Still a robot.

just doing some research, 'cause i like to be all factual as such. w&m will finish this year with a winning record, making it the first time we've done so in consecutive seasons since...1980/81 - 1982/83. holy fuck but we're a dismal program. these are the glory days.

Hanging out in main concourse of Charlotte airport. Piano player wailing on some Elton John songs while I people watch.
Oh shit....Journey's Faithfully! Where's my lighter?

Danimal said...

Now can someone relinquish their effing rocking chair?!

Danimal said...

Don't Stop Believin. Same band.

Danimal said...

Desperado

O/u on famous person sighting?

Danimal said...

He's losing me here. And others. Had it going but has since softened it up with a song from Ice Castles and Air Supply.
An observation....not one female has tipped him.

Danimal said...

Ok....at a barstool now at sushi joint in same area. He's back on Billy Joel which is what he was playing pretty Elton John. Yes I tipped him.

Danimal at the airport, a one act play entitled "Just the tip"

Danimal said...

Shlara!....Ryan Lochte! Bam. Or....jeah!. Just gotta be patient people....

Danimal said...

Maybe he will be on my flight to l.a. I have just enough of a buzz on to get a selfie with. Jeah.

Danimal said...

Yeah....he's on my flight. I just talked to him. And I guess I needed a few more cocktails for that selfie.

Danimal said...

Glenn f'ing Campbell on flight. I can get a selfie with him! He's not 20 years younger than me.

Danimal said...

False alarm!
Meanwhile Lochte is sitting in one of the handicap seats by the gate. I think he's traveling with his mom.

Danimal said...

Looks like he bought his mom some big old double D's!

Danimal said...

Jake Seinfeld on plane. Not. Kidding.

Danimal said...

Steinfeld. You know who I'm talking about.

Danimal said...

So Lochte is heading to LA for a Speedo shoot. He lives in Charlotte now as of a year ago. Didn't ask why. Next time. His brother and mom are in tow. It was an awkward moment meeting him...our gate was directly across from the Jax gate which is where he was sitting...in the handicap seat. (Totally should have gotten a picture of that). I said "hey Ryan , good to meet you. I'm Danimal." And thought....no he's not going to l.a., he's going back home to Daytona or Gainesville via Jax. He was cool...nice. whatever. I said, "you're headed to Jacksonville I assume?" He said, "no...going to l.a."
"Me too. Wow. This is awesome. We'll be on the same plane!"
His exuberance was lacking.
That is today's "Airport Brush With Fame". Until Thursday.

Danimal said...
