As usual, headphones are recommended for this episode and it'll sound just fine coming out of your hi-fi speakers out by the pool as well.

Too Much Pressure!

The above image is the cover of the first release from The Selecter from way back in 1980 when I graduated from high school, specially dedicated to all the cool kids that got "let go" from the Atkins Groups - crank up the totally bitchin' Too Much Pressure!

And here's another nice little ska ditty to get your Friday started - also from the Selecter, James Bond off of their 1992 album Out On The Streets.

The Selecter's 1980 debut is every bit as tough as The Specials' first album, and for the most part is much groovier. When The Specials slowed down, they sounded as if something was wrong; Too Much Pressure shows that The Selecter were able to pull off the perfect mix of power and soul. "Three Minute Hero", "Danger", and "Murder" are absolute Ska killers, while tunes like "Missing Words", "My Collie" and the great "Black & Blue" show that even when playing below the speed limit, The Selecter are still deadly. Arguably the best album of the 2 Tone era.

Have a bueno and safe weekend y'all!

peace,

CBGB Founder Dies at 75

Hilly Kristal founded CBGB in 1973.

NEW YORK (AP) Hilly Kristal, whose dank Bowery rock club CBGB served as the birthplace of the punk rock movement and a launching pad for bands like the Ramones, Blondie and the Talking Heads, has died. He was 75.

Kristal, who lost a bitter fight last year to stop the club's eviction from its home of 33 years, died Tuesday at Cabrini Hospital after a battle with lung cancer, his son Mark Dana Kristal said Wednesday.

Last October, as the club headed toward its final show with Patti Smith, Kristal was using a cane to get around and showing the effects of his cancer treatment. He was hoping to open a Las Vegas incarnation of the infamous venue that opened in 1973.

"He created a club that started on a small, out-of-the-way skid row, and saw it go around the world," said Lenny Kaye, a longtime member of the Patti Smith Group. "Everywhere you travel around the world, you saw somebody wearing a CBGB T-shirt."

More after the jump: Go!

Thanks Hilly.

Sounds Good To Me

I was on a conference call the other morning with a potential new client and after a few minutes into the discussion they asked if I was talking to them from a bar or a night club.

Well, although that has been known to happened on occasion, I told them that I was if fact sitting alone in my studio, The Tiki Room, taking notes and enjoying a fresh cup of coffee.

What I didn't realize was that they could actually hear the music I had on very very low in the background and they loved it.

Long story short, we laughed, talked a little about music and, thanks to John Coltrane, I got another nice little project that starts in October. Sweet.

Here's the tune, Time Was from the amazing Mr. John Coltrane off of his 1957 album Coltrane: Prestige 7105.

New & Groovy!

New and Groovy. Couldn't have said it better - it's new to me and yup, it's groovy all right!

Don't know a whole lot about Johnny Lytle other than he's a pretty bad ass vibes man.

Here's a couple of my favorite tracks from the New & Groovy lp released on January 21, 1966: Come And Get It and Pulpit.

Enjoy!
