What you listening to today?

I always thought that the French National Anthem was a catchy little patriotic tune but did anyone know what the lyrics were? Good Lord. LOL, they sure talked a good fight...

 
I'm pretty sure I already posted 'Spanish Moon' way back on this thread, so here's a couple more with George. I love Little Feat.




EDIT: for the sake of clarity, that isn't Lowell George's vocals on the second tune. That's him on the slide though.

He dated a black girl. He’s allowed to listen to that song.
I know. He can still listen to 'Brown Sugar'. What I said was no more brown sugar. Me personally, I'd rather give up an old, overplayed Stones tune than the kind that don't get old.
 
I was a freshman at unc when Lowell George died. We had just discovered little feat and played them often. Couple interesting things; he had a band that performed in an episode of gomer Pyle, also he was well over 300lbs when he died. He was a binge eater and reportedly ate a whole large pizza by himself the night before he died. One of his bandmates claimed he died due to “pizza on the New Jersey turnpike”

This looks incredible. I was guilty of thinking these sessions were god awful based on books I've read on The Beatles but apparently there were a ton of really cool moments in the 50 or so hours of footage from the making of this album. Choosing Peter Jackson to edit this down to 6 hours was also a great choice.
 
I'm feeling the 90s college scene today. These songs were often playing at 2:00 am when I was closing down bars in Greensboro.

old timey I know, but love me some JB. And I would be happy listening to the instruments alone. Clyde Stubblefield and Maceo Parker might not be the very best at what they did, but they are no question at the top of the heap. There is a youtube vid I've seen of Stubblefield explaining how he developed the complicated beat for one of JB's songs and it left me feeling happy I just learned to put one foot in front of the other, because playing drums like that isn't in me or most normal people.

 
29 years ago today. One of my favorite albums ever. Listening to this all day.
