Weekend Podcast- Have A Good One!
Here's a 30 minute podcast/streaming-medley, with some great songs about sex, drugs and alcohol, to start off your weekend!
From country about LSD (?!) to reggea about pussy, from RnB about getting wasted to 60's pop about marijuana.
I think this is something I'll do more often, probably once every two weeks.
Have a good one ;)
(Don't do drugs though, drugs are bad...)
Tracklist:
01. Intro
02. Rosco Gordon- Let's Get High
03. Wendell Austin- LSD
04. Mighty Tom Cats- Cheeba Cheeba (Abe Twist Edit)
05. Mike Clifford- Mary Jane
06. Max Romeo- Play With Your Pussy
07. Sugar Billy Garner- I Got Some (Satisfaction)
08. Ramblin’ Jack Elliott- Cigarettes, Whiskey and Wild Wild Women
09. Soul Bros- Chicken and Booze (Abe Twist Edit)

11. The Cramps- New Kind Of Kick
12. Johnny Cash- Cocaine Blues
13. Slyde- Sex & Drugs (feat. Chaz G & Lady Posh & Mr. Colin Owens)
Play with your poodle / pussy
Rockabilly- and reggeatime with these two versions of the same jolly old tune, which doesn't leave much to your imagination.
Not much difference in the lyrics, except for the word poodle and pussy.
Just some crazyness since it's almost weekend.

Same Song, Different Name
I recently discovered "Heart Trouble" by the Welsh band "Eyes of Blue" on this fantastic compilation of rare 60's beat, freakbeat, RnB, psych & soul, called "Go Gear! vol.5" (released on a label called "13th Dimension").
When I heard it for the first time I immediately fell in love with the song.
The original single was released in 1967.
Sadly there's not a whole lot of information to be found on the internet about this group.
As I first listened to the tune I noticed that the lyrics sounded familiar to me, and not much later it came to me: Funkadelic's "You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure" from the band's "Cosmic Slop"-album (released in '73) has taken a good bit of the lyrics of this song.
After some more searching I found out that the original tune was written by the Parliaments and released in 1965, two years before the release of Eyes Of Blues' version.
The Parliaments, who's style at that time would be best described as Northern Soul, would later on turn into Parliament and Funkadelic; two bands consisting of the same members, recording for different labels, and as we all know, were the main performers of the soul- and funk subgenre known as P-Funk. So that's were it all comes together...
Have a listen to all three tunes, they are equally great:
Eyes Of Blue- Heart Trouble:
The Parliaments- Heart Trouble:
Funkadelic- You Can't Miss What You Can't Measure:
PS. Later on George Clinton did another solo version of "Heart Trouble" which is just too awful to post here...

"THE TWIN RECORDS"
Hi all,
This is something I'll do more often. The "Twin Records".
The idea for it came to me when recently I was listening to Howlin' Wolfs rare album called "This is Howlin' Wolf's new album. He doesn't like it. He didn't like his electric guitar at first either.".
It contains a version of "Three Hundred Pounds Of Joy", played on an electric guitar, that instantly reminded me of another song. That song was "Got My Finger On Your Trigger" by Slim Harpo, a personal favourite.
The two pieces are so much alike, it's unbelievable.
I tried to find information on both songs, but there's not a whole lot to find.
Slim Harpo's song was put out in 1970, Howlin' Wolfs album was released in either 1968 or 1969. There doesn't seem to be any connection between the two.
Anyways, have a listen and judge for yourself:

REMINDER!!! Best Cuts Of Music Radioshow turned 50!!!
Hi guys,
I told you guys this before, but I'm becoming a bigger fan everyday.
Recently I discovered the (blog)site to a (internet)radioshow called "Best Cuts In Music" and I think it's freakin' awesome!
It's been hosted by two guys named Robe Flax and Sam Houser.
The show is filled with obscure, out-of-print, or just never picked up music, and for a change, the guys are not fancy about it.
Robe and Sam have an excellent taste in music as well as a great sense of humour.
Not a single genre remains untouched and you never know what you can expect, except for the fact that the music WILL be good!
The reason I promote the show once again is the fact that the 50th episode was uploaded 10 days ago, November the 15th, so that calls for a celibration!
Here's an episode to give you an idea, you'll have a blast!

SAME SONG, DIFFERENT NAME
I've known the Taj Mahal song for quite a while now, but I recently discovered the version by Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation.
Different name, same song.
Very different versions though, and where Taj Mahal just buys stuff for his girl because he likes it, the Aynsley Dunbar Retaliation expects a little more in return for all the goods they're providing their honey with...
Both very nice and mellow :)
