[Video] ‘Wild’ Billy Chyldish & CTMF – March Of The Grey Mod Mullets
Despite the odd spelling change, Billy Childish is still producing fine music. This is an instrumental track from 2013, courtesy of Damaged Goods Records.
[Video] Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson – Big Bad Wolf
Big thanks to my dear brother, Paolo Merolla, for posting this great R&B sizzler from Johnny ‘Guitar’ Watson.
[Video] Block Out (Nikola Vranjković) – Beograd Spava
I’m a fan of the Balkan singing voice, as it is rich in the way Tom Waits and Paolo Conte are. This is a new name for me, presumably out of Serbia. I’m looking forward to hearing more from Block Out.
[Video] Soft Machine – ‘Switzerland 1974’ Official Trailer
Thanks so much to the Steve Feigenbaum’s legendary Cuneiform Records, who posted this on their Youtube account. This is Soft Machine during their prime.
[Sample] Verckys et l´Orchestre Vévé – Congolese Funk, Afrobeat & Psychedelic Rumba 1969-1978
The Internet is a treasure trove which never ceases to amaze. Thanks to the enterprising souls over at Analog Africa, a brilliant reissue label from Germany, we get to here these long-forgotten wonders from the country formerly known as Zaïre, now the Democratic Republic of The Congo.
