Back by popular demand it's ...
Deal with it!!! And for you amatures that don't know. It's alright it's only a record review, from my point of view dig?Let's begin with Mr. Jim Capaldi
Circa: 1978RSO Records inc.
"Daughter of the Night" is probably his most well known hit on this disco rock style record. He's easy & breezy. Soulful & deeply intense at times. Good combination of slow & fast songs. I think he was suppose to be the next big thing back in the late 70's but for some reason didn't quite make it. I only know about this guy because I bought this record at Value Village 3 weeks ago. And NO I am NOT romantically connected to Jim in any way even though he is totally my type.
This is an excellent record to spin on a 1st date. Maybe I'll call him up & do just that.
Rating: 4$ outta 5
Moving on to review #2
It's Rick James bitch! Bustin' out of L 7. Not really sure what he means by that but whatever. Funk at it's finest & he will always be the king of funk. Now this is the record you whip out to really set the party on fire. Beautifully orchestrated. It's a symphony of sexiness that works well on the dance floor as well as the bed room. Aside from the obvious #1 hit "Bustin' out" there's lot's of brilliant surprises hidden in the less popular tracks. The guys a genius!Circa: 1979
Motown Records
4$ outta 5 bitch
And that concludes
Tonights episode of "Puttin' it on Wax". Until next time. I'm Vanilla & I'm a renegade of funk.Sunday, January 18, 2009
And this is what I see...
The tarot cards I pulled while concentrating on your question are: Justice, the Ace of cups & the 8 of wands
So what's gonna happen is this...
The charges against you will be dropped! And it's justice for all. Then the 8 of wands means get all those good ideas you've got brewing in your brain out there now or they will disappear into the void. You know what I'm talking about. Stop day dreaming & start doing something about it dammit! And the ace of cups means a social invitation is making it's way into your sphere. So check your mail, answer your phone & expect to receive tickets to your favorite show. Someone is trying to reach out & touch you. Seriously.

Let's start with Rory Gallagher
"Calling Card". Which is the only thing he left behind when he left early that morning...And thank God 'cause I will definately be callin' this dude back. He's bluegrass, folky & pure rock all rolled in one. Yup! This guys got it covered. Beautifully orchestrated acoustics & the lyrical context just go hand in hand. Like lovers. Anyways! I'm into this record & I hope Rory Gallagher calls me back. Omygodpleasecallmeback!!!Rating: 5$ out of 5 yeah man!
Chrysalis
Circa: record doesn't state but I was vulnerable at the time.
Do you believe in witchcraft?
You think so huh? Well these guys really know & they don't funk around! They're tight! Sexy. And heavy. In fact alot of modern rock sounds reminiscent of this dark but groovy sound. The difference is, these guys mean it & didn't sell out. I only heard about these guys through this Devil worshipper guy I was seein back when I was touring in Liverpool. Anyways! I always know I'm way ahead of the game when I slap this one on the turntables at a party YO!!!It's called "Death Penalty" by the way...As in Witchfinder General. Cool band man!Heavy Metal Records
Circa: they won't say

NEW PROGRAM! CHECKIT!
I get flooded with questions everyday from my fans & it's impossible to answer them all individually. So! I've developed this new special program that allows me to delve deeply into the complex cosmic consciousness of you all at the same time to give you the answers you're looking for. Be careful what you think my fans because...
Answer:
Can I level with ya'? Alright. According to the tarot cards I pulled for you; The Sun, The Ace of Swords, & The Star. What's basically going to happen is; you're going to start off strong this year with a renewed strength & energy. Literally you're being born again. BUT. There are people places & things you will have to cut off- literally if you want make you're dreams materialize. Which for the 1st time in a long time you are ready to do exactly that. You're star WILL shine in 2009 if you put in the time. Be ruthless & don't do what everyone else is doing & you'll be fine. Go 4 it!
