As you may have noticed I'm in a early disco period right now. So I will probably post more fat disco tunes from around '74-'76 here. I hope you like it as much as I do. The interesting thing with those records was that the disco music was being formed then. They were the ones that could lay out the standards and rules. Whatever worked on the dancefloor was a good disco tune wether it was Motown stuff, afrofunk, jazz or latin. Stay tuned for more great tracks...
I bought myself a copy of the Who's Who LP re-issue, and guess if I'm a happy little turd now. This french electronic disco masterpiece is produced by Daniel Vangarde aka Daniel Bangalter which is Tomas Bangalter's (from Daft Punk) father. As soon as I heard about this record I had to have a copy even if it is a re-issue. Apparently it is not the most easy record to get by. Anyway, I didn't choose the most disco-ish track from the LP, but this instrumental piece was pretty hypnotic so I had chose it anyway. Enjoy!
This post was originally posted on the Window Into Palestine blog by Fakhri Dweik, but this is something that if you didn't know should see. So take a couple of minutes to educate yourself. This is how Israel as we know it today started its history:
Dear brothers and sisters
Yesterday we remembered Deir Yassin massacre Early in the morning of April 9, 1948, commandos of the Irgun (headed by Menachem Begin) and the Stern Gang attacked Deir Yassin, a village with about 750 Palestinian residents. The village lay outside of the area to be assigned by the United Nations to the Jewish State; it had a peaceful reputation. But it was located on high ground in the corridor between Tel Aviv and Jerusalem. Deir Yassin was slated for occupation under Plan Dalet and the mainstream Jewish defense force, the Haganah, authorized the irregular terrorist forces of the Irgun and the Stern Gang to perform the takeover. In all over 100 men, women, and children were systematically murdered. Fifty-three orphaned children were literally dumped along the wall of the Old City, where they were found by Miss Hind Husseini and brought behind the American Colony Hotel to her home, which was to become the Dar El-Tifl El-Arabi orphanage. You can watch few videos here about the people who remember Deir Yassin
One of the awful crimes against the Palestinians in 1948, The song is try-not-to-cry by Yusuf Islam and the Outlandish The materials are from the site: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia And the official site for reminding to this massacre: http://www.deiryassin.org/mas.html
Hey! I'm soon goin' away for the easter holidays to the countryside, but before I leave I wanted to share some of my latest finds to help you to get a great easter as well. Enjoy!
For two months, one of my favourite songs have been this one. I haven't wanted to put it up since I found it on another blog and don't want to cop anything. But I can't help myself. You who follow the blog noticed the faggy italodisco I posted a couple of days ago by Easy Going, and now it's time for some beautiful italian music again. This time it's slow, balearic and hypnotic. It's hard not to fall in love with this song.. Instead of linkin it to the actual file I'll link it to the the original post on my favourite blog another night on earth.
One editer/remixer/producer I've admired alot is Ture Sjöberg also known as The Beatconductor, Jazzconductor, Southside Connection, Discoconductor and a couple of other aliases. I thought I'd post some of my favourites for you. This is really good!!!
I recently discovered the music of Martha Velez and got very excited to see that her album Escape From Babylon were produced by no others than Bob Marley and Lee Perry, accompanied by The Wailers and I-Three on backing vocals. Of course the result is a reggae dripping album with a classic Marley touch, and since I've always loved Bobs music I got hooked on this one as well. Here is one of the Marley covers from the album. My current favourite. Enjoy!
