More New Old Stock Music!

We might need a NOS music label because I have another NOS album for you.  Dave wrote about Zamrock previously, here and at SOD, after spending eight hours in a car with me listening to lots of different music.  And I wrote about new old stock music a few weeks ago.  As luck would have it, Now-Again Records (remember the Whitefield Brothers?) just released a new old stock Zamrock album from Ngozi Family, "Gate Crash '78."  Here's the story:

Here's the music:

And here's the tracklist:

1. Apongozi

2. Jealousy

3. Poem Writer

4. Munzanga

5. Gate Crash

6. Easy Baby

7. Bukoko

8. Tikonde Alendo

Monday Morning Funk

I've heard some good rock songs as covered by funk bands lately.  Enjoy this small smattering to get your toes tapping on a Monday morning.

Of note, this cat Sylvester deserves a slightly deeper dive, but his take on Neil Young's "Southern Man" is exquisite.  And new to me as of last week. Enjoy.

Put Some Funk Into Your Hump Day

This song makes me happy. It could be linked with a post I made last week, but I believe I have already pushed beyond the group's tolerance for my thoughts on coital tendencies.

And the best part of the post (other than the tune, duh) is that most of these tags have been used before.

Sunday, Funky Sunday

I've been to some excellent weddings in my time. There was a terrific celebration in the Lake Tahoe area that brought dozens of us to the Sierras for a week. The Teej and Baconbaking pulled off a ceremony that was perhaps the most perfect reflection of a couple's unique personality I've ever witnessed. Dave got thrown in a river in his tux. Clarence and his lady yachtrocked the ORF, Three Sheets to the Wind still the best live wedding band I've ever seen. But there's competition.

Just this week, I learned about the band that a friend of mine had play his nuptials. He's a Harvard undergrad, Wharton MBA, Georgetown School of Foreign Policy, and McKinsey alum and now the CEO of a mobile app company. He is, along with Dave, one of the two smartest people I've ever met. (Though his brand of hyper-intelligence is for more practical than Dave's.) He's from Boston, worked on John Kerry's presidential campaign, and completed a Birkebeiner. He is, as his resume suggests, (and I say this fondly) among the whitest people in the world, at least by outward appearances. Which, as we know, can be deceiving. By rights, he should have had Three Sheets play his wedding, unironically.

Instead, he and his bride rocked out to the Pimps of Joytime:



In a happy coincidence, the Pimps are coming to my little town in just three short weeks. See you there.

Bustin' Loose

MCA, Duck Dunn, and Chuck Brown? God's orchestra just added some funky, funky, shit.
