Saturdays 9pm-11pm PST via luxuriamusic.com • Your Weekly Exotic Party Mix from DJ's Reeshard & Lee-Roy

Pictured: Clarence “Fuzzy” Haskins of Parliament/Funkadelic.
The rest of [Funkadelic] gradually slipped, as George [Clinton] was consistently raggedy from the start, and the slick look began to unravel, as each singer gave up on the suit and developed his own image: Grady [Thomas] had the look of a genie, Fuzzy [Haskins] was in long johns, Calvin [Simon] donned a wizard’s pointed hat, and George resorted to ripping holes in hotel sheets, poking his head through, and heading onstage. Visually, the band appeared like a group of ghetto circus clowns, with an overamped rock sound that never seemed to end. Priding themselves on playing until the crowd would leave, Funkadelic (and their Parliament vocalists) became local legends, and their first album, Funkadelic, was just as badly mixed, endless, and unforgettable as one of their concerts.

Pictured: The Attack.
So far he had been dabbling, but at the 1926 ball, [Gerard Vernon Wallop] Lymington’s first, Harry [Crosby] set the tone of the following three full-throttle orgies. The motif was Incan, and he rubbed himself down with red ocher and wore a red loincloth and a necklace of three dead pigeons. But before the ball there was a supper party—if a champagne punch made from forty bottles of brut, and five each of whiskey, cointreau and gin, may be called supper—given in the library of 19 rue de Lille for eighty students and their girls. Lymington was there, and the Crouchers, and a Foreign Legionnaire, and Harry’s lawyer. Caresse [Crosby, Harry’s wife] wore bare breasts and a turquoise wig, and at the ball won a prize of twenty-five bottles of champagne for the Crosbys’ group by riding around the ballroom in the jaws of a papier-mâché dragon propelled through the Salle Wagram by a couple of dozen drunk students. Harry passed out and woke up next morning stinking of dead pigeons and sticky with paint, in bed with Lymington, Caresse, Lymington’s girl (who was angry that he had not troubled to make love to her) and several others, newly met.

Though she was an official group member since Showcase, [Michael] Rose reveals that Puma was absent for the recording of Sinsemilla, the album that got the group a contract with Island records in 1980. ‘When we record Sinsemilla, she wasn’t there for some reason and me have to sing the harmony. We just put her face ‘pon it, and the album run ‘way.’ Along with the herb anthem title track, Sinsemilla offered poetic reasoning on a range of human topics, including the human race’s unnecessary division on “The Whole World Is Africa.”
‘The whole inspiration with that is how earth set up,’ Rose explains, ‘and the everyday life of the Rastaman, the fighting, and Babylon at war fi land. A earthquake separate the land. If you look at the world and see how it was one thing, but because the people them fight so much, it have so much negative vibes that the earth move. If people more ‘pon a neutral level, where everything free and people just live natural life, that mean you have a different vibe, but you have to pay for land, you have war, man capture, take ‘way. That just push off a whole negative thing inna earth, so [some] place stable and some place a move.’

Pictured: John Cale.
After the commercial failure of Vintage Violence and Church of Anthrax, I figured that I wouldn’t mess around with rock and roll any more, that I would do straight classical music. Yet the first thing I did when I went into the studio was put down a song called ‘King Harry’ which is sort of reggae — I love that music. Anyway, there is rock and roll on The Academy in Peril, but I don’t know where it stands. It has three rock and roll pieces: ‘King Harry’, ‘Days of Steam’, and ‘The Philosopher’. Ron Wood played slide guitar on ‘The Philosopher’. I really dove into this album and tried to approach it the same way I had approached the Nico albums, with a lot of overdubbing. This took a long time.

Pictured: Slinger Francisco, a.k.a. The Mighty Sparrow.
He loved the flash, style, and humor of the Black players and valued them highly as “running partners” and customers. In his speech, dress, and body movements Eddie imitated the Black manner and was good enough at it to be accepted by the players as a “crazy dude,” a “bad motherfucker” who had “plenty, plenty, plenty soul.” He ran the place as he damn well pleased, which invariably led to trouble with the police.
Eddie was committed to partying and “acting crazy” as a way of life. Attempts by other club owners to get him to “clean up his place” (translation: “get rid of the niggers”) were greeted by him with total contempt. He antagonized police, other club owners, and anyone else he considered “square,” and reveled in his own defiant stance. After two in the morning, when bars are supposed to be clear of patrons, he would lock the door, draw the curtains, and party with the players, laughing, loud-talking, snorting cocaine, and serving drinks after hours. When he particularly felt like letting off steam he would take out one of two pistols he kept for the purpose and blast a few holes in the wall. After a few years, the wall panels were thoroughly perforated.

Pictured: Fairport Convention.
…As Dave Swarbrick, fiddle player with Fairport Convention, observed in the mid-1970s: ‘If you’re singing about a bloke having his head chopped off, or a girl fucking her brother and having a baby and the brother getting pissed off and cutting her guts open and stamping on the baby and killing his sister – now that’s a fantastic story by any standards, whether told in a pub or on Broadway. Having to work with a storyline like that with acoustic instruments wouldn’t be half as powerful or potent, dramatically, as saying the same things electrically. Because when you deal with violence, when you deal with someone slashing with a sword, say, there are sounds that exist electrically – with electric bass, say – that can very explicitly suggest what the words are saying.’

Pictured: Fela Aníkúlápó Kuti.
Saturday, when Fela presented his ”Comprehensive Show” complete with the Egypt 80 dancers and an enormous, ritual conical “cigar” presumably filled with marijuana and various native herbs, was also mainly a dance night, with the most diverse audience of the week; listeners traveled from all over Lagos and beyond to enjoy the music. For some attendees, a visit to the Shrine, with its marijuana smoking, go-go dancers, and anti-government lyrics, was an act of social rebellion in itself. Others came to engage, examine, or debate Fela’s political philosophy. Still other visitors were content merely to enjoy the music, irrespective of its political sentiments. Each show concluded at dawn with Fela pausing before the shrine in the rear of the building. With intense flames leaping into the air, the “Chief Priest of Shrine” paused flanked by two young male attendants to salute his ancestors and Pan-Africanist heroes, before returning home as the rest of Lagos awakened with the dawn.

Pictured: The late Terry Reid.
The hall was filling and I was beginning to wonder if I’d find a place to sit when Michael Lydon came over with two tickets down front, stage left. We found our places in the press of youth, some in little pullover sweaters, some hairy mountain freaks, all seeming gentle. The Bob Dylan song on the public address system ended, a fraternity-brother voice boomed Welcome and introduced the first act, Terry Reid, one week shy of his twenty-first birthday, who looked gentler than anybody. Though he never arrived, Terry and his trio had been for the past year or so the coming thing in English blues. But his act seemed not to move this crowd, who may not have known that English blues bands were supposed to play and scream as loud as possible. Knees pressing into my back, a girl in a sorority blazer sat beside a boy with short, neat hair and a tan sports jacket. I was seated on the aisle; to my right were three pretty girls in three sizes, each with dark hair and dark eyes.
As Terry screamed “I Got a Woman,” the girls, Spanish-blooded, told me they were sisters: one fourteen, one twenty, and as Terry, with one blue spot on him and his flat-top guitar, introduced a song called “Bunch Up, Little Dogies,” the third sister, too cute to be a minute over seventeen, a little guerrilla in the battle to see who will wear a crown, came to my side, and I began to see what the tour was about. When we are young, innocent, and ignorant, and we look and smell good, all that is required is a little rhythm—what could be more revolutionary, more troublemaking, than bringing rhythm to the scent of the classroom? We looked at each other, our heads, our hair touching in the crowd, and clasped hands, her skin soft as you might expect, nearly any seventeen-year-old is soft, but not every one is so serious and quiet.

The Hindi film industry aspired to the dazzle and glamour of Hollywood, but its antecedents lay elsewhere, in epic Hindu pageantry, where tales of misbehaving gods would be interrupted by intervals of singing and dancing that had little to do with the story. In what came to be known as Bollywood, they’d hit the ‘pause’ button on the plot line a half-dozen times during a film and treat the audience to a lavish production number with actors lip-synching voices clearly not their own. From the start in the 1940s, Hindi film music had always been a hodge-podge: Bengali and Punjabi folk tunes backed by lush Hollywood strings with jazz (take another bow, Benny Goodman), Latin, country & western, surf guitar and the Twist all thrown in over the years and delivered with a vague nod in the direction of India’s own classical traditions. Over time, Western beats began crowding out local rhythms. On Bombay sound stages, writers, actors, directors, composers and musicians from all regions and religions collaborated in the construction of a cultural behemoth that, with its powerful blend of familiar and foreign (mostly US) styles, slowly suffocated local folk music.

We know that rock ‘n’ roll was not a human invention, that it was the work of the Holy Ghost. When, in an article called “Women Won’t Leave Me Alone,” published in the October 1954 issue of Tan, Wynonie Harris bragged that he “started the present vogue of ‘rocking’ blues tunes,” he failed to mention the Holy Ghost, who had chosen Harris to serve him in his work. But Wynonie Harris was like that. Not even the Holy Ghost Hisself was safe from the unmoving sword of Harris’s arrogance.
…Eight years later, when I was trying to ascertain how old Wynonie Harris had been when he died, Ralph Bass advised, “Whatever age he was when he died, just double it. That’s the way that motherfucker lived. Every minute, every blessed minute.” Those are good closing words; but better still are those words with which Wynonie Harris closed that story he wrote on the eve of his descent into oblivion: “I don’t mix the Lord with the Devil. They are the two I’m most afraid of. As long as I’m with the Devil, I’m going to shake him down for everything, every dime I can get.”
— Nick Tosches, “Wynonie Harris: The Man Who Shook Down The Devil” from Unsung Heroes of Rock’n’Roll.
