#3

The 3rd album that I thoroughly enjoyed in 2009 is...



Lee Fields & The Expressions - My World

"DONT CALL IT A COMEBACK I BEEN HERE FOR YEARS"
Lee fields brings it back to Cooley High and he actually was there to prove it.
After somewhat of a hiatus which we will call the 80's, Lee Fields has re-emerged. My favourite cut on this one is Ladies:the admissible ode to cat calling and girl watching, something Montreal Summers can/not humble.

Lee Fields & The Expressions - Honey Dove

Lee Fields & The Expressions - Ladies

Lee Fields & The Expressions - Do You Love Me (Like You Say You Do)

BONUS++

Esther Williams - Last Night Changed It All

Who's Real, Who's Not ?

Jadakiss - Who's Real (ft. Swizzie + OJ Da Juiceman)

PIMP C: "TRILL NIGGZ DON'T DIE"

A Lack of Solidarity..

I have learned to channel my negative energy into productivity in times of relative incoherence.

This might sound pointless and over the top but it got me through a week where I was unhappy at times for no apparent reason. :)

And somebody needs to remind me to pay that Visa bill.
I'm not getting that Countach on bad credit...

Megan Fox wants to hear I Love You and I'm not about to make her wait.
After seeing transformers the echoes of the jazz fest sound system made it seem like I was still trapped in the movie. The God of Grape and his sidekick Blueberry Blunt Paper had already exposed my vulnerabilities and I wasn't about to put up a fight against Decepticons let alone public security. Replace Tyrese Gibson with Morris Chesnutt and the movie would have peaked beyond belief, The opening sequence was worth 30 dorra$ atleast. YADDAMEAN



This month i been feeling this old time organist Charles Earland. Word to Cam at Steve's, The Hammond B3 is mean machine. If only Ray Manzarek had joined the darkside, The Doors would have had a fuller sound, but who am I to defecate on The Doors and their UNFUCKWITTABLE catalogue.
Heres some of his work.

Charles Earland - Betty's Theme (Dynamite Brothers Soundtrack 1974)

Charles Earland - I Was Made To Love Her

Charles Earland - Murilley

Like that Ethiopan Chick once said I've Got real Hootspa!

This Blog must go on..And by go on i mean Wordpress and Accolades.
Changes to Follow..

I might walk home alone..

Jonathan Richman is in Montreal tonight!@! at the Cabaret Juste Pour Rire

Unfortunately nobody really wants to reach with me or so i would think..

But for those interested he of modern lovers fame will be playing with Vic Chesnutt starting at 8:30..

The Modern Lovers - Girlfriend

The Modern Lovers - Dignified & Old

The Modern Lovers - Hospital

STALAGGGGGGGG

I still don't know how i'm going to manage but this week is..

The 2009 Montreal International Reggae Festival on the 26th, 27th and 28th

26th

Frankie Paul will headline the first night as U-Roy and Yellowman's former sparring partner Charlie Chaplin will close out what is being labelled Sound System Night. special appearance by the west island's own Danny Rebel and the KGB***

27th

Dancehall Night is ticketed at 50 dollars but it could be one of the rare opportunities to catch the fireman Capleton in Montreal. Check for Anthony B as well...this night might entice me to grab the weekend pass.

28th

The last night works as a tribute to rocksteady legend Alton Ellis. Sugar Minott is here, and we all know he charted well in the 80's. A personal favourite will also flatline as Sanchez will perform his signature Lovers Rock. Ky-Mani Marley will close out the weekend but one could expect a soundclash on the final night word to U-Roy...

if that isn't enough. Collie Buddz will be at Cafe Campus on the 27th as well. but thats not enough to redirect me unfortunately. My aim is true.

And this all goes down at Parc Jean Drapeau next to LARONDE

so spend your money on this and skim over Osheaga cuz we all know thats a rubbish festival.

and with Stevie Wonder and Kool & the Gang coming through the week after you'll have decisions to make. Hopefully i've put things in perspective.

Sanchez - Chronic

Rodney P ft. Ky-Mani Marley - The Nice Up

Capleton - High Grade

Now we just gotta get Shomari to pick up the fiddle again..

AYO, I GOT THIS!!!

The Matron might have found his maiden.
Time is like Motrin, the Slew is a process for non-believers
But i chose to ride pine when others took jumpers
I passed on candy apples when trophies were waiting in the wings.
And look at me now.
