Gnonnas Pedro [with or without his Dadjes band] had always excelled in many styles of music but if one had to associate him with a particular genre it would be Agbadja. Agbadja is a rhythm hugely popular in Togo, Benin and Ghana. Its based […]

Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording
1974 Canada pressing
Last spin of the night.
A great soundtrack to a very weird movie.
As a songwriter myself, I adore Paul Williams.
As a kid, it started with “Rainbow Connection”, but as I got into my teens, I discovered this batshit fucking movie that not only STARS Paul, but was scored by him as well. The film sent me into a deep dive of Paul’s songwriting, and exposed me to just how brilliant he is.
It’s a very odd movie, and so are the songs, and not everybody is a fan. I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me as a teenager, or why it’s stayed with me all these years, but it’s essentially MY Rocky Horror Picture Show.
But I fully understand why people hate it. 😂
I’m just not one of those people.

Amara Touré – Temedy / Lamento Cubano
https://amf.didiermary.fr/amara-toure-lamento-cubano-temedy/
The enigmatic Amara Touré from Guinée Conakry finally getting a well deserved compilation showcasing all of the 10 songs ever released between 1973 and 1980. Cuban influenced music of a different kind featuring amazing spaced-out guitar works!
Touré’s 30 year-long career began in the late 1950s in Dakar as part of the Senegalese collective [...]
Light Shine
My fav from Jesse Colin Young is released on April 20, 1974. It's his fifth solo album (The Youngbloods) and ended up his highest-charting solo album. After Song For Juli, Jesse leaned into a more experimental, jazzy folk album. The three-part "California Suite" is gorgeous. #jessecolinyoung #lightshine #70smusic #music #musicsky #musiciansky #folkrock #countryrock #countryfolk
XTC
White Music
1984 UK reissue
The infancy of one of the greatest bands of all time.
It’s the youthful, scrappy, scruffy XTC; kinds more new-wavey and post-punkish than the latter-day exquisite pop songcraft they’d grow into.
It’s a very fun record, and worth owning for “Radios In Motion”, “This Is Pop” and “Statue Of Liberty” alone.
