Five weeks in and nobody is on the streets yet.
Perhaps a different approach is required. How about to kick off we go for a Psychedelic Revolution? I think we all know who would be the ideal candidate to lead such a thing - none other than the Arch Druid himself Mr Julian H Cope.
I don't know much about the French outfit Rob Jo Star Band other than their label Bornbad Records describe their music as Stoned Psychedelia and proclaim that they released one of the weirdest records released in France in the early 70s. Any band with a song called Acid Revolution would clearly be on board.
Ernie's Reggae Revolutionaries offering this week comes from Guyana's longest surviving band The Yoruba Singers. I'm not sure as to their views on Psychedelia but I suspect that they may well be partial to a spliff or two.
The revolution will continue next Friday assuming we have come down from the clouds.
Especially liked the JC and Yoruba tracks. 'Five weeks in and nobody is on the streets yet"........In this country you have to be patient with revolutions. Considering our last one was in 1689 we're long overdue one but the signs aren't exactly promising despite the obvious need
ReplyDeleteMy glacial response to your guest ‘revolution’ suggestions meant that I missed the boat with The Arch Drude. Julian Cope’s very fond of a revolutionary song; there’s enough for one side of a C90 cassette with the other side taken up by the 45-minute Rave-o-lotion (see what he did there?) I have some time off work this week so I may still share with/inflict upon you!
ReplyDeleteLook forward to that!
