This one's going out to @IdleRich one of many tunes he turned me onto 82. Jimmie Haskell - Hydrazine Actually Rich you should do a top 100, it'd be great.

This kinda brings us up to the moment where I started collecting records again. One of the first I remember buying was the Phew LP after reading about it on Woebot. This all started in the middle of a break up where she moved out, I blew all my money on eBay, met Rich, "plant food" happened and...

These clips are fucking wild. I'd seen the cup dance one before but a terrible copy. Mad to hear his voice.

I've only remembered it! Special bonus overcoming amnesia & senility "I'm gonna live forever!” post Erule - Listen Up

Anyway, back on some soul. 75 Athea Franklin - Night Life Aint the Good Life (Live) I meant to list this earlier, first heard on via Andy Weatherall. But just listen to it: In the mid-2000s or so, I began getting turned onto what was called Deep Soul via Dave Godin's amazing comps. So, not...

Obviously now there's an indie rap 12" from this time I'm trying to remember and have no fucking idea what it's called or who it's by, all I can see is mental picture of the label. Black and gold, something like "Static" ffs

Never really stopped checking in with rap. Couple of indie things and my fave Fat Joe track: 72. Omniscience - Amazin' 73. G Depp - Head Over Wheels 74: Fat Joe - Firewater

I was introducing myself to the delights of krautrock at this time as well, probably my favourite band of all time are Can. I think they have such influence now in part 'cos of those who grew up on rap. The bass (Czukay) and drums (Liebzeit) being the dominant part of their sound, not guitar...

Slight change of emphasis now. When I lived in Notthingham, I got to know a guy called Shug, who I knew through the old TOPY network. I ended up living with him for a few years after I left. He played me lots of amazing stuff, including a lot of white devil music including lots of industrial...

Kinda weird thing to say, but I feel that maybe the reggae deejays don't get enough love? With dancehall maybe, but I don't know if people get their importance before that. They seem less discussed than the contemporary singers and the dubs (see recent dub discussion upthread) but were vital to...

64. Frankie Knuckles/Robert Owens - Tears A classic and deservedly so. I nearly plumped for "I'll be your friend" but being honest, this is the one that got rinsed.

I think her slightly off key warbling adds something tbh. But I appreciate yr opinion. What's the Third position on On-U in general?

Bit of a sidebar: A couple of years ago, I found a fascinating transcription online of the lyrics to the Maytals song above. That article has vanished but the Genius transcription and annotations are not too bad. What I love about this song is it creates a whole microcosm with its attendant...

I refuse to accept responsibility for any progeny issuing from "Quiet Storm" activities.

Yeah that's him. He's from Japan and runs a label, but I get him mixed up with the other guys who live here.

63. Prince Buster - Seven Wonders Needs its own post, it's so heavy. Heaviest ska track ever recorded?

Couple more obscurities from the Maharishi Hifi selection, old mate who's dedicated his life to this stuff. 61. Tartans - Real Gone Sweet 62. Glen Miller/Winston Shah - Dungeon The space on this kills me. So simple yet so amazing.

At some point, I decided that the best music in all of creation was 60s reggae, especially rocksteady, still an opinion I'd roll with. Couple of faves. 57. Techniques - Travelling Man. I once made my ex cry by playing her this. 58. Hopeful Village - The Tennors An idyll of Jamaican village...

Been very light on the house music so far, so a couple from that camp. Again, trying not just to put up classics that people know, though i'm sure the knowledge runs deep on here. 54. Bou Khan - Magic. I tended to like the moody soulful stuff. 55. Blake Baxter - Where We Used To Play 56...

Thank you dude. That is crappy about Lou Courtney, probably some obscure licensing thing.
