Bo Diddley - Bad Trip

"You ain't got to be on dope to be on a bad trip."

Bo's 1972 release "Where It All Began" has got to be one of my favorite records in my vinyl assortment, so don't be surprised if I feature a track from it again. It's loaded with so much good dirty funk and psychedelic soul. Bo could not only rock out on the guitar like a beast, he's got a voice as strong as steel. Basically, he's a bad-ass motherfucker whom I would have loved to meet while he still actively rocked this earth.

Weird War - Grand Fraud

I just found out about the funk/punk band Weird War (AKA Scene Creamers) from my brother. There are many things I like about this 2004 video and song. From the glass house perched in the woods, to Chihuaha that makes its debut at 00:26, or the corpse that starts shredding into a cosmic guitar solo, there's a lot to enjoy.

If you can make it through the quirky, nearly three-minute-long intro sequence, be prepared to have your mind blasted and your body rocked.
