Ok sentimental fools, here in Cleveland we had our own version of the Beatles, or was it Queen? Well anyway, The Raspberries are one of the most underrated bands of the seventies. Check them out tackling this pop classical masterpiece.
Layup Lines
...and Dre on the Break!!!
My basketball team used to warm up to this track, aw yeah!
Potus With The Mostest
Very funny. Look at that applause too -- don't see that on the news much do you? I remember seeing cheering crowds of (white only) flag waving supporters almost every night for President Bush even when his support was at 10%, but here's a guy with genuine actual fame and appreciation around the country, and it's burried as deep as possible by our media gatekeepers.
Somehow a random black person committing a crime somewhere is tied back to Obama more in todays climate than the man himself speaking to his constituents.
Mellow Madness
One of the more radical covers, I dig it for sure. Here's Come As You Are done jazz bassguitar style.
Knock Knock On Your Front Door, Guess Who?
Wow Michael Franti has come a long way over the last 20 years. I remember the first time I heard this band, I loved them. A big early influence on 2merica, for sure.
Standing Around Playing Music
Proof that every band I like doesn't jump around like maniacs -- early live performance from the Violent Femmes, circa 1985:
Merging For You
Haha the classical musicians and fans are getting younger than the rock ones! Here's some cool fusion going on between Deep Purple and the London Symphony Orchestra.
Pleasant Valley
I've been listening to this playlist lately that contains no one but Chopin & Monk. Then I found this nice jazz rendition of a Chopin piece and I dug it much.
Nothing’s Solid In This Land of Plenty
Great solo debut (after doing 10+ years in The Pharcyde) from Tre Hardson.
Can't Stop, Won't Stop, Don't Stop.
It’s Holding Back The Weather
...and the same will let it go. I loved these guys. Here they are doing an early hit from a rare american TV performance.
When Will The People?
The power and strength of the original Parliaments, backed by the young Funkadelics, recorded properly.... yummy.
