Singing that part of "everybody loves the sunshine" but in a Borat voice like "my wife, my wife , my wife , my wife" , just being the worst possible human i can be.

They finally made the milk from that hotel

It’s Jozie with a “Z” tho.

Perfect storm of Real Life Stuff landed me in a position to play Mario Kart World on launch night.

You know what, world of chaos? I can’t even be mad. Forces I can’t understand are guiding me. Let’s get it.

Exactly! He’s got the funk and basslines that a lot of stuff I hear in the boombap lane feels like it’s missing right now. A breath of fresh air.

Prince Paul is top 5 easily if we’re having a serious discussion. IMO, the most impactful hip-hop producer outside the genre. There’s a lot of records across the spectrum that wouldn’t exist without 3 Feet.

Yeah he’s one of the best out right now. Big inspiration!

Sure
Happy
It’s
Thursday!
What song is stuck in your head right now?

And yeah, I did share some Studio Ghibli AI slop. Normally I wouldn’t but it was that picture of Kenny G and Miles Davis and I couldn’t help myself. Sorry Mr. Miyazaki it won’t happen again. 😞

At the gig drinking an NA beer, thinking about playing Xenoblade when I get home. Sober 30s are kinda a vibe lol.

Every time a video of Jaco comes up on the timeline, it invites the most brain dead musical takes of all time. I don’t listen to a lot of his stuff anymore, but still feel compelled to jump in and defend the guy. Go listen to Hejira.

Was just talking to a kid about this phenomenon yesterday re: “Mystic Brew”. It’s not cool because it was sampled, it was sampled because it’s cool!

The thrill of find the original is always fun, but listening beyond the loop is rewarding in itself.

Preaching to the choir here but still lol.

Sylvia Striplin ‎– You Can't Turn Me Away ℗ 1981 YouTube video by Antony Rosano

First heard this in a 9th Wonder samples DJ mix years ago (blended into Junior Mafia obv.). No track listing so I had no idea what it was until much later, but that “hey hey uh huh” stuck in my memory that whole time like something from a dream. The groove! Man!

Sylvia Striplin Give me your love 1980 YouTube video by Funk Soul and Disco Classics Chris

While we’re at it, Sylvia Striplin - “Give Me Your Love” b/w “You Can’t Turn Me Away” is the best 12” ever released. Perfect peak hour dancefloor banger + perfect end of the night slow dance jam. I played both sides at my last gig and I will probably play both sides at my next gig. 11/10 no notes.

Roy Ayers created the syntax of modern groove-based music. Deep house, boom-bap hip-hop, neo-soul, & contemporary jazz funk don’t exist or don’t sound the way they do without him. He’s that important. Huge loss.

Rest well, king. 👑

Among his many other accomplishments, I think Roy Ayers made the smoothest transition to disco & dance music of his contemporaries.

Funny anecdote came up listening to this but we’re keeping positive today so I’ll hold that thought 😂

Beautiful tune.

One of the most bonkers “how’d he do that?!” early Jay Dee flips here IMO. 6/8 -> 4/4 without breaking a sweat.

And it’s just a beautiful song.

Rest well Roy Ayers, Roberta Flack, Gene McDaniels… and Phife Dawg too for that matter.

Long live Large Professor & Q-Tip.

Roy Ayers.

What else can I say that hasn’t been said? Groove king. Changed my life as a teen getting hip to his music.

Just gonna post some joints here.

Byron Miller is crushing on this shit BTW.

Yes. Recording multis from a 16/ 44.1 sampler at 24/ 96 for what exactly? lmao

Pros and cons for everything, but if you Bandcamp’d some beats I would check that out for sure. I wish you could post more than a minute here for the sake of sharing sketches and demos.
