Having a kid is weird. My wife didn't used to go to sleep at 8:30pm on Friday nights. We used to go out and get rowdy until 2am. This kid is fucking cute (Pic), but she sure is a pain in the ass.
As I am currently a single parent, with an 8 week old baby lying on my chest- let's listen to some of my favorite music.
If you don't like me for any reason, please just go post in another thread.
I'll start it off with something extra extra funky.
This is a live version of Superfly by Curtis Mayfield. The clothes are great. I love the whole Superfly soundtrack.
The other famous song from the album is Pusherman-
Going back just a few years, this is my favorite track off of the fantastic Jimi Hendrix: Blues album, Catfish Blues-
And my second favorite track, a blues version of Voodoo Chile-
I think of James Brown as older than Jimi, but he was actually doing a lot of classic stuff around the same time. I got to see James Brown when he was about 70. He didn't have the moves he used to, but he put his heart into it. Here he is tearing it down-
Jumping ahead to the 80s, this is Boogie Down Productions featuring KRS-ONE, My Philosopy-
I can't listen to BDP without hearing South Bronx. IMO it is one of the most quintessential Hip Hop songs-
Staying in the 80s, but going to the other coast, the entire Operation Ivy album is phenomenal. I love Take Warning.
Heading back to NYC, but Queens this time, a song I listen to all the time- Know The Ledge by Eric B and Rakim.
More later.
