“chit chat with oysters” – december 1971 (studio europa sonor, paris, france) – pink floyd with big thanks to adrian maben and cinémathèque française for this release!
there was a time when not all lyrics meddled around some lame-ass persons idea of being hot and sexy, either writing about their dick or their fat ass. don’t get me wrong was just listening to doja “i keep it juicy juicy, she keep that booty booty… he like it thick he like it fat” all good fun but i mean its kindda comical really isn’t it? i cant help but giggle at myself and how shallow and primal we have become. its all just dicks and ass and food and money.
then i was watching this pink floyd documentary and the song echoes came on… went something like…
live at the techno club: they don’t make em like they used to

peace now: some words of wisdom from charles mingus
charles mingus at a peace rally circa 1967
charles mingus – don’t let it happen here
“…one day they came and they took the communists, and i said nothing because i was not a communist.
then one day they came and they took the people of the Jewish faith, and i said nothing because i had no faith.
then one day they came and took the unionists, and i said nothing because i was not a unionist.
they burned the Catholic churches one day, and i said nothing because i was a protestant.
one day they came and they took me, and i could say nothing because i was as guilty as they were of genocide, destroying the rights of any man to live…”
some great words by charles mingus, genuine people should follow them regardless of the parties – follow them when they effects the jews and follow them when they effects the palestinians. cease fire now, free the hostages, stop the illegal settlements, demand a just peace, there is no humane alternative – by xy

Soul Bossa Nova – Quincy Jones x Rahsaan Roland Kirk 1969
o.k. now that were on the topic of jazz great rahsaan roland kirk
i was pleasantly surprised to learn that this track that we all know, used on austin powers, has the flute which was actually performed by rahsaan roland kirk! i’m shocked but now that i know it, i can hear it! definitely more quincy jones (pop) than roland kirk (jazz). by uh
Rahsaan Roland Kirk : The Case Of The Three Sided Dream
“the case of the three sided dream”
i was updating an old fela kuti clip and showing it to a good friend of mine, and he pulled out this little trailer…. an older documentary i must have missed on the great rahsaan roland kirk. kirk was politically outspoken. during his concerts, between songs he often talked about topical issues, including african-american history and the civil rights movement. his monologues were often laced with satire and absurdist humor. kirk became blind at the age of two, which he said was a result of improper medical treatment. he often played several instruments at once not as a gimmick but rather as a necessity to communicate his layered thoughts. his blindness stifled his life to some extent, but that did not stop him from becoming one of the most influential jazz musicians in history. excited to watch it and thank you my friend for the lead. by uh
