Singing that part of "everybody loves the sunshine" but in a Borat voice like "my wife, my wife , my wife , my wife" , just being the worst possible human i can be.

Perfect storm of Real Life Stuff landed me in a position to play Mario Kart World on launch night. You know what, world of chaos? I can’t even be mad. Forces I can’t understand are guiding me. Let’s get it.

Exactly! He’s got the funk and basslines that a lot of stuff I hear in the boombap lane feels like it’s missing right now. A breath of fresh air.

Prince Paul is top 5 easily if we’re having a serious discussion. IMO, the most impactful hip-hop producer outside the genre. There’s a lot of records across the spectrum that wouldn’t exist without 3 Feet.

And yeah, I did share some Studio Ghibli AI slop. Normally I wouldn’t but it was that picture of Kenny G and Miles Davis and I couldn’t help myself. Sorry Mr. Miyazaki it won’t happen again. 😞

Every time a video of Jaco comes up on the timeline, it invites the most brain dead musical takes of all time. I don’t listen to a lot of his stuff anymore, but still feel compelled to jump in and defend the guy. Go listen to Hejira.

Was just talking to a kid about this phenomenon yesterday re: “Mystic Brew”. It’s not cool because it was sampled, it was sampled because it’s cool! The thrill of find the original is always fun, but listening beyond the loop is rewarding in itself. Preaching to the choir here but still lol.

First heard this in a 9th Wonder samples DJ mix years ago (blended into Junior Mafia obv.). No track listing so I had no idea what it was until much later, but that “hey hey uh huh” stuck in my memory that whole time like something from a dream. The groove! Man!

While we’re at it, Sylvia Striplin - “Give Me Your Love” b/w “You Can’t Turn Me Away” is the best 12” ever released. Perfect peak hour dancefloor banger + perfect end of the night slow dance jam. I played both sides at my last gig and I will probably play both sides at my next gig. 11/10 no notes.

Roy Ayers created the syntax of modern groove-based music. Deep house, boom-bap hip-hop, neo-soul, & contemporary jazz funk don’t exist or don’t sound the way they do without him. He’s that important. Huge loss. Rest well, king. 👑

Among his many other accomplishments, I think Roy Ayers made the smoothest transition to disco & dance music of his contemporaries.

One of the most bonkers “how’d he do that?!” early Jay Dee flips here IMO. 6/8 -> 4/4 without breaking a sweat. And it’s just a beautiful song.

#MWE done. Had fun listening to some new (to me) music. Now I want to pivot hard back into listening to old favorites because TBH the most enjoyment I got out of recreational listening this month was running Yes - Close to the Edge again for the millionth time in my lifetime. That album rules.

#MWE Day 28 A compilation of various Thelonious Monk sessions from the early-mid 50s, a couple cuts of which feature Sonny Rollins. Man. Sonny Rollins is a master of melody - a seemingly endless wellspring of ideas. I just want to say that we’re all lucky to be living at the same time as him.

#MWE Day 27 Gritty Midwestern soul meets silky Philly elegance (Gamble & Huff! Thom Bell! Vince Montana!). You can hear the emergent strains of what would become disco in a few years, but it’s really about the ballads and slow dance numbers here. They don’t make slow jams like they used to. Word.

#MWE Day 26 Generally, more of the kind of material present on the first LP with slightly better recording quality. What I said about Take One applies. “Reverend Lee” is a huge stand out- vivid storytelling with her voice contorting to match every lyric and an all-timer Chuck Rainey bassline.
Roberta Flack - Chapter Two (1970)

C.Scott @cscott412.bsky.social · 28/02/2025
#MWE Day 25 A ballad-heavy set that exemplifies Flack’s steadfast elegance. What would be saccharine in someone else’s hands is graceful in hers. My favorite moments are the more groove-oriented tunes. Ron Carter absolutely holds it DOWN on “Compared to What” and “Tryin’ Times”.

I’m so tired of jazz album cover design that’s an inferior rip-off of either the Blue Note or ECM graphic design aesthetic. We need more arch-top guitars on Mars.

#MWE Day 24 Kool & the Gang’s early brand of jazz-inflected funk speaks for itself. I just have one question: Is “Rated X” the greatest funk Mellotron performance? It’s kinda running unopposed unless we count the outro of “Mercy Mercy Me”. Still though, love hearing Mellotron outside of prog.

#MWE Day 23 Scarface casts a cold, unflinching gaze towards 90s street life. There’s a darkness underpinning everything- even the escapism afforded by sex, weed, and drink. Vivid and soulful, every word carries the greatest possible weight. How’d it take me this long to get around to this?!

#MWE Day 21 Noodly. Not necessarily in a bad way. Has the vibe of a live-focused group attempting to consolidate their sound into a studio recording. The LP makes me more curious to seek out a live bootleg. National Health, this group’s heir apparent, got it right tho. For nerds and completists.

#MWE Day 20 Honestly? Went into all of these albums expecting to dislike them and maybe get a dunk or two off. Coming out of all of them not necessarily loving everything, but deeply appreciating that a guy as open and curious as JC can be successful. Good for him.

#MWE Day 19 You know what? I went in expecting to really detest this album but I don’t. R&B JC isn’t my favorite, but this could be a lot worse. I don’t need to hear him rap ever again tho. Sidebar: sometimes I wish music school students never found out about Dilla tbh.
