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.



And check out that bad-ass cover featuring the Chicago skyline!

Link Wray - Jack the Ripper

A 1961 classic from the master of mid-century rock and roll and surf.

Black Keys - Howlin For You

This video is all sorts of hot.  Staring Battle Star Galactica's Tricia Helfer. Its shot like a 70's explotation film.  I wish the video actually included a bit more of the song, its shot more like a 70's explotation film with the Black Key's track as the soundtrack.  Something not done very often in the music biz.  Worth watching, so is the album this song comes from, Brothers

The Flying Lizards "Her Story"

I've been sick and overworked recently but that does not mean I haven't been listening to good music. Currently I'm all ears for anything Flying Lizards. "Her Story" has my attention because I'm also a Roots fan and love that they (heavily) sampled this experimental rock song from the 70's.
