FROSTY'S MUSIC FANTASIES FOR ALL TO SHARE
the Monks - live on Beat Club
Tommy D recently turned me onto the Beat Club. Thanks for ruining my life! Now I'm compelled to drop out of society and spend my living moments watching amazing clips from this incredible television program.
Evolucion Reggae - Lee Perry, Upsetters & the Gladiators
Lee "Scratch" Perry and pals soak some tape with real rockers sound. He bounces behind the Black Ark mixing board while the Upsetters, Junior Murvin & the Heptones bring heavy riddims to life. Want more for your roots reggae money? Well stay tuned as it gets deeper with a glance into the Gladiators inna studio stylee.
inside SA-RA
A peak into the inner working of ultra-effective beat freaks. The SA-RA cats take you inside their studio to shine light on the shaping of their cosmic sound or as they call it "afro-magnetic-electronic-spiritualism." Can you dig?
Biz Markie - Toilet Stool Rap
Do you doo doo? Biz Markie sure do. This is the most elevated moment in music history. Open your eyes and ears wide but keep that nose shut cuz Biz is breaking down the deal with his dookie.
Pentangle - Hunting Song
This Pentangle clip shows the virtuosity of their musicianship, some fly clothes and plenty of serious head nods. Since this was a BBC performance the sound and picture quality is amazing. This is timed nicely as Pentangle's Bert Jansch has just released an amazing new album.
MORPHO'S MYSTERIES UNLEASHED
Mahavishnu Orchestra - Noonward Race
Guitarist/bandleader John McLaughlin sounds like he's on quaalude sleepy-time as he introduces the song, but once the music starts he leaps into a hyperdrive finger dance up the double axe. Soon enough, Billy Corbham is working over his drum set, and you're screaming like a little girl. When it starts to seem like the color is going all bugaboo, it's actually your brain melting.
Gang Starr - Jazz Thing
Composed for Spike Lee's Mo' Better Blues, this early Gang Starr tune is a reverent lesson in jazz history. Guru's slow-cadence rhymes weave perfectly with Primo's production for a sweeping cultural love letter, mixed with some great archival images of various jazz cats getting busy.
Jean-Jacques Perrey - E.V.A.
JJ the great weaves his magic bleeps in this recent performance of the oft-sampled E.V.A. Shot by a fan in the crowd, the footage is a little raw, but it's great to see Jean-Jacques still feeling young at 77 years of age (watch as he tears up an air guitar solo).
France Gall - Baby Pop
"Yeah-a-yeah a-yeah!" A giant-hearted 1960's scopitone that bursts with saturated joy. France Gall and her back-up gals defy all frowning as they bounce around in gleeful abandon. Written by French pop hero and legendary creep Serge Gainsbourg.
My Bloody Valentine - Knows When
Flaring color swirls around the ethereal Valentines for a haunting, beautiful video that does well to represent this gazing masterpiece. The song comes off Loveless, easily one of the greatest albums ever made.
