Scott & Asa

"Monntag 17 jan 22. Moving on with Asa Brebner tribute volume two next track is "Trapped Inside a Teardrop' by Scott Baerenwald. He played bass on the $20 copy of Reddy teddy's "Goo Goo Eyes" in 1974 and I shall never forget him singing with Asa Brebner at 11th chapter in union square, Somerville ("Dead Boston Club"!) Them's "1-2- brown Eyes"; he also told me about cranking WILD in some '60s car, thus his James jamerson playing. BUT, on this cut, he "merely" sings, bass done by Kit Dennis of the Infliktors! (I sat "up in MY room" with Miss Lyn coffee googling whom WAS on the Rat album and "Yes He is, it's true/yes he is". I also recognize gary Soprano NOT in Third Rail on rat album, but a alumni and you can COUNT on the fact that we played like Hunter/Wagner Rock and Roll Animal at some Hull/ Rat beach party thang; a PLEASURE to have done double lead with him! (plus he IS good; can tune and everything!) Ok, "Let the Music do the talkin'" and buy mach bell's book for the Biggie Ratt chapter! "Rod Stewart voice before he went Hollywood circa 1976; good country music singing. "rock ballad' (Nicht scheiss! says I to I,mon!) REASONS to buy it: Circa 1974-ish, "Jailbait Janet's" boyfriend played me first song, side two of the Tucky Buzzard album! It has that feel and that tyme (hell! even Rod the Mod was still good!) Buy the cd, money goes to Asa's REAL kids"...….

Thursday, January 20, 2022 day of Wodin 19 jan 22. First song side two of the Great rap Hits on Sugar Hill! (I'm meshugah for Sugah Hill!). 1979's "Funk You Up" by The Sequence; female trio from Columbia South Carolina! I was busy jammin' on the Stones' "Miss You" with my barracks with an all-black audience and LOVIN' it! They started out on gospel, but did a early hip-hop record; hey 'it's all meat from the same bone" as Eric will Burdon you with that thought (IS your thoughtbloch glitched?). And who DID these gospel ladies sample? "Rapper's Delight" (AGAIN!) which is Chic's "Good Times", good riff! (TRYING to play like that in Mad painter). "Funk You Up" recorded November 1979, released December 1979 when I was in South Carolina's Low Country in a trailer in North Hanrahan "Crying the Chapel" (TRAILER!) over Emmett otter. Gizmos mach II sang "Cry Real tears"; the band "Tears of Rage"; like the Young rascals "I'm so happy now" coz I made another Hopelessly Obscure discovery! (on who sampled for "Rapper's Delight" which begat "Funk you up"). "here comes the sound again" by love Deluxe, a British release, 16 mar 79 (around then "Winner by elimination' was played ONCE on a Charleston SC station; BIGGER than Elvis pound wise but not musical). the tune is on youtube and british producer Alan hawkshaw (impressive discography!) played piano on the Hollies "Put yourself in my place" off Hear1 Hear! (Paul McCartney was in a band before Wings, so between ALTAMONT AND Kent State I was buying all Nash albums, pre-Crosby and/or Stills; Imperial records CHEAP cutouts!). Vicki Brown (ALSO impressive discography) sang on,amng others, the kinks Muswell Hillbillies! In the end, why is there so much superb british r&b/funk/soul etc we yanks don't 'ear? other question (of tempature!) Come March is Fiddy years of me fanzine writin'! (locked away in room/ records/ANTI-social distancing!) and Miss Lyn wonders what I do up there in the Haunted Room".....("ARGUIN' WITH GHOSTS"! :Kenne, who ARE you talking to?""....
