Get Into It


 

 
Let's see, only three comments on the Songs Of The Week post, three that weren't me on the Martin Belmont post, and three that weren't me on the "West End Blues" post.

Has everyone fled to Canada?
 
"Show must go on, Sal. Even if it's to an empty house."

"You're right. I know how to get'em back."

HIP HOP!
 
"Let's take it back to the concrete streetsOriginal beats with real live MC'sPlayground tacticsNo rabbit in a hat tricksJust that classicRap shit from Jurassic"

Come on. How can you not love this? 

Try rapping along. Get into it!

In all seriousness, I think the shit's that's going on in the world currently is having an outsize depressive effect on what should be pleasurable stuff like, y'know, listening to and commenting on music. 😎

Sal Nunziato said...

Yeah. I hear that. I am trying to take the high road and be the distraction, otherwise, I'd be turning on the gas.

On and on to the break of dawn! By the way, I have never even heard of Continental Drifters! Not a whisper. You had me at Richard Thompson with them.

I promise to comment! No need for hip hop! Loved the Martin Belmont, can’t find it anywhere. Loved the Went End Blues.

Sal Nunziato said...

You know, I love the Jurassic 5 and I think this song here is pretty damn easy to take.

Cleveland Jeff said...

I’m not much of a hip hop fan, but it was just humor. No judgement intended.

Sal Nunziato said...

I saw the humor. No worries Jeff. I can't help myself. I need to defend the music I love in any capacity.

I come here for the wit and wisdom from you, Sal and your regulars. Frankly, I don't feel I have much of worth to contribute. But I guess an occasional "thank you wouldn't go amiss, would it?
Thank you!

If anyone enjoys The Continental Drifters, please check out Peter Holsapple, and if you like him, check out Peter Holsapple and Chris Stamey, and if you like them, check out Chris Stamey... I could go on and on.

Holsaple's Out Of My Way from 1997 is a fine record. CJ

Present!

I think the entire human race was traumatized by the isolation and death of Covid. And now, everyone who isn’t in the cult is being traumatized by the vandalism of our government, and the cruelty of the people who are now ransacking it.

But there’s a ground swell of resistance that has begun bubbling up.

Music is a balm and a refuge and an inspiration to not let the bastards grind us down. And BW remains a great place to find new music and old music and entertaining commentary by the proprietor and the visitors. Thanks always.

Daily reader, rare poster.

Big fan of Jurassic 5. Part of the L.A. soundtrack. Good to see them getting some exposure here at the BW sanctuary.
