"Any organization created out of fear must create fear to survive." - Bill Hicks

nobody ever brought da' funk like Jamerson.

 

HA! Good Fun!

Never attribute to malice that which can adequately be explained by incompetence.

 

Today is the 100th anniversary of the emergence of the being known as Sun Ra (also: Herman Blount) on this planet. 

 

The sky is a sea of darkness when there is no Sun.

 

We'll go with one of the Arkestra's more famous and user-friendly tracks to start off:

Marcus Miller slapping the mutha lovin' funk out of his Fender Jazz Bass

 

 

Gotta love how in the middle of playing rhythm while the sax is laying down sweet sexiness, he just sneaks in a slide arpeggio progression all casual like, because, why not?

jazz makes us... gassy? dunno.

 

had a similar problem at university. as much as Gromnir were a fan o' james joyce, we always hated Ulysses. going through the effort to understand Ulysses did not result in us eventually appreciating joyce's great work. in fact, not only did our excruciating effort to understand Ulysses make us dislike the novel more, but we kinda liked our Ulysses worshiping colleagues and professors a bit less too. flaw in our character... one of many.  

 

...

 

is nothing wrong with jazz. intellectually we can appreciate it just as we could appreciate joyce's craft. we get that we is 'posed to like jazz. nevertheless, jazz makes us gassy.  

 

HA! Good Fun!

Excellent performance that! Hard to believe it's been near 20 years.

Still one of the best lyrics ever written some 30 years later.
