Singing that part of "everybody loves the sunshine" but in a Borat voice like "my wife, my wife , my wife , my wife" , just being the worst possible human i can be.

They finally made the milk from that hotel
Itβs Jozie with a βZβ tho.

Perfect storm of Real Life Stuff landed me in a position to play Mario Kart World on launch night.
You know what, world of chaos? I canβt even be mad. Forces I canβt understand are guiding me. Letβs get it.
Exactly! Heβs got the funk and basslines that a lot of stuff I hear in the boombap lane feels like itβs missing right now. A breath of fresh air.
Prince Paul is top 5 easily if weβre having a serious discussion. IMO, the most impactful hip-hop producer outside the genre. Thereβs a lot of records across the spectrum that wouldnβt exist without 3 Feet.
Yeah heβs one of the best out right now. Big inspiration!
Sure
Happy
Itβs
Thursday!
What song is stuck in your head right now?

And yeah, I did share some Studio Ghibli AI slop. Normally I wouldnβt but it was that picture of Kenny G and Miles Davis and I couldnβt help myself. Sorry Mr. Miyazaki it wonβt happen again. π
At the gig drinking an NA beer, thinking about playing Xenoblade when I get home. Sober 30s are kinda a vibe lol.
Every time a video of Jaco comes up on the timeline, it invites the most brain dead musical takes of all time. I donβt listen to a lot of his stuff anymore, but still feel compelled to jump in and defend the guy. Go listen to Hejira.
Was just talking to a kid about this phenomenon yesterday re: βMystic Brewβ. Itβs not cool because it was sampled, it was sampled because itβs cool!
The thrill of find the original is always fun, but listening beyond the loop is rewarding in itself.
Preaching to the choir here but still lol.
First heard this in a 9th Wonder samples DJ mix years ago (blended into Junior Mafia obv.). No track listing so I had no idea what it was until much later, but that βhey hey uh huhβ stuck in my memory that whole time like something from a dream. The groove! Man!
While weβre at it, Sylvia Striplin - βGive Me Your Loveβ b/w βYou Canβt Turn Me Awayβ is the best 12β ever released. Perfect peak hour dancefloor banger + perfect end of the night slow dance jam. I played both sides at my last gig and I will probably play both sides at my next gig. 11/10 no notes.
Roy Ayers created the syntax of modern groove-based music. Deep house, boom-bap hip-hop, neo-soul, & contemporary jazz funk donβt exist or donβt sound the way they do without him. Heβs that important. Huge loss.
Rest well, king. π
Last one for the night. Such an indelible impact. Really one of the GOATs.
I mean come the fuck on!!!
Among his many other accomplishments, I think Roy Ayers made the smoothest transition to disco & dance music of his contemporaries.
22-year-old Charlie was banging this A LOT post first real breakup πππ
Much-sampled in my early dalliances making house music. Still rips.
Funny anecdote came up listening to this but weβre keeping positive today so Iβll hold that thought π
Beautiful tune.
One of the most bonkers βhowβd he do that?!β early Jay Dee flips here IMO. 6/8 -> 4/4 without breaking a sweat.
And itβs just a beautiful song.
Rest well Roy Ayers, Roberta Flack, Gene McDaniels⦠and Phife Dawg too for that matter.
Long live Large Professor & Q-Tip.
Was just letting this album run yesterday during a nice warm, sunny day. As it should be.
Roy Ayers.
What else can I say that hasnβt been said? Groove king. Changed my life as a teen getting hip to his music.
Just gonna post some joints here.
Byron Miller is crushing on this shit BTW.
Yes. Recording multis from a 16/ 44.1 sampler at 24/ 96 for what exactly? lmao
Pros and cons for everything, but if you Bandcampβd some beats I would check that out for sure. I wish you could post more than a minute here for the sake of sharing sketches and demos.
