The Residents - I'll Go Crazy

^^^ The animation on that "Ill Go Crazy" song is really cool!

I play drums in a 60s pop Turkish band (Yeni Nostalji) and we cover that Ajda Pekkan song! The guitarist is also a local baker (best in town), and his dad actually played bass on this '67 recording.
"Saklambaç" didn't make it onto the Yeni Nostalji debut cd, but here is the soundcloud page for the curious.

Reeling, Rei! What odd and wonderful information to wake up to. Say, I don't suppose you and your bandmates have heard this Mancini tune? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZO62upvOkiQ
Thanks for the wonderful Yeni Nostalji platter, pal.

Right on!
Some Turkish pop tunes borrow riffs from popular tunes, but further mutate them to be something more than the original...

Alexander "Skip" Spence - War In Peace

^ Will have to dig into that!

^ Might be my favorite damn bass line. I'm so happy that you posted this one! Here, have a ramble:

Rodriguez was my neighbor for many years and I didn't know it! Well, I knew him, but just as this guy who was dressed head-to-toe in black every day of the year, was almost always building something up on a scaffold, and frequently talked about running for mayor. Great guy.

Years before the doc and all the (well deserved, maddeningly late) attention, I brought this B.O.C. record that I love to the kitchen I used to work in. My friend Matt, the chef, asked me if I was playing it because of the list (of obscurities that shouldn't be) that had just been published in the local free weekly. I didn't know what he was talking about, so we went and grabbed a copy. I can't remember what all else was on the list besides Secret Treaties, the Cult record I mentioned, and the one I had no idea about whatsoever, Cold Fact. He couldn't believe that I'd never even heard of it, played it for me the very next morning, and that's when I learned that the guy that lived 3 door over had made one of the greatest records of the entire 1970s.

Years before that experience I had this roommate named Ophelia. She was a Detroit lifer, and when I met her she had this ancient cat with long matted hair and a runny pooper problem. Kitty's name was Sixto, after an old family friend. Guess who I later learned that friend was? Yep.

I miss Detroit so much!

I've no connection at all to Spence to speak of... outside of absolutely loving that whole record! Pretty sure you will too, Rei.

Wow, awesome story! I love it when the world gets that small.
¡Viva la música!
