Radio Clandestino 5/28

I had a great time in Montreal with Shokazoba and have picked up some part time work to supplement the record sales. I've got a few other tricks up my sleeve as well. More details to follow. 

This show was a real fun one as I got to mix it up in styles and played a whole bunch of left field tunes. As always, I appreciate the support.

Next week will be a special edition as Tony and his program Underground Spiritual Game (Mondays noon-230) and Radio Clandestino will party for 4 1/2 hours of nonstop heavy tunage. From noon-230 we will be mixing classic and contemporary afrobeat and afro-funk and other Motherland musics. From 230-430 Tony And I will be spinning personal favorites from various genres.

Catch the action noon-430 at WMUA.org or 91.1 locally.

Until then don't forget about Super Hi Fi and Full Tang at Bishop's Lounge on Friday, the all day and overnight Yurt Fest (I'll be spinning three sets of vinyl) on Saturday and the Recordville Backyard Record Sale and BBQ on Sunday. It's summer in New England!!

Barbara Mason..."Give Me Your Love"...Give Me Your Love...(Buddah)

Johnny Pate..."Shaft In Africa (Addis)"...Shaft In Africa soundtrack...(ABC)
I love the original Shaft flick, but by the time they got around to this one the formula lost some magic. The music, however, is fab. Listen.

The Soul Rebels..."Sweet Dreams Are Made Of This"...Unlock Your Mind...(Rounder)
I love wacky cover versions and this brass band version of the Eurythmics classic is far out!

Grateful Dead..."Cream Puff War"...The Grateful Dead...(Warners)
I believe this is the first time I've ever played the Grateful Dead on Clandestino. This is how I best like my Dead--as acid garage punk. I can't wait to pick this up on 45.

Radio Clandestino playlist 5/7...RIP MCA

A whirlwind of a day. I was sick, late, hungry...but still delivering the funk. Catch Radio Clandestino every Monday 230-430pm (ET) live on WMUA. 

We pay our respects to MCA of the Beastie Boys, who died this past week at 47. I was a teenager as they were evolving from a raw (and lyrically stupid) rap/rock band into the world conscious funk ambassadors that they were at their peak. In short, it's kinda like I grew up with them.

We also got to a bunch of brand new funk joints that I have been meaning to play. Things get tight around here! But as always I appreciate your promos (vinyl preferred, digital okay-address at the end of the playlist).

Whitefield Brothers..."Safari Strut"...Earthology...(Now Again)

Ray Stephen Oche & his Matumbo..."Alaglanu-Alaglano"...Interpretation of the Original Rhythm...(Favorite reissue)
Ray Stephen Oche & his Matumbo..."Okwukwu-Kiwongo"...Interpretation of the Original Rhythm...(Favorite reissue)

Express Brass Band..."Radio Kabul"...v/a-Contemporary Afrobeat...(Tramp)

Afro Funk..."Obanya Special"...Body Music...(Secret Stash reissue)

Ruth Tafebe & The Afrorockerz w/ Tony Allen..."Corrupt"...Holy Warriors...(Comet)

Ebo Taylor..."Yaa Amponsah"...Appia Kwa Bridge...(Strut)
Brand new Ebo Taylor LP out on Strut.

Quantic & Alice Russell..."I'd Cry"...Look Around The Corner...(Tru Thoughts)

Jessica Lauren Four..."Vaya Con Dios"...Jessica Lauren Four...(Freestyle)

American Gypsy..."Inside Out"...American Gypsy...(Chess)

The Bamboos w/ Tim Rogers..."I Got Burned"...Medicine Man...(Tru Thoughts) 
Excellent new album from Australian funk/soul band.

The Funk Ark..."Rinconcito"...High Noon...(ESL)


The Impellers..."Pon lo Afuera"...This Is Not A Drill...(Légére)
 Another funky jam from this UK ensemble. New album out shortly.

Village Callers..."Hector"...Live...(Vampisoul reissue)


Beastie Boys..."In 3's"...The In Sound From Way Out...(Grand Royal)
I love this LP. The Beasties may not have been virtuosos on their instruments, but they sure could jam funky. Money Mark and Eric Bobo round out their instrumental band. This LP collects all the instros from Check Your Head and Ill Communication and adds the dubby "Drinkin' Wine".

Beastie Boys..."Bodhisaatva Vow"...Ill Communication...(Grand Royal)
MCA solo was always a welcome stop on the Beasties albums. Check also tunes such as "Flowin' Prose" and "A Year & A Day".


People Under The Stairs..."Step In"...Stepfather...(Tres)

Maroons..."365"...Ambush...(Quannum)


Tego Calderón w/ Maestro..."Bonsai"...El Abayarde...(Sony)


Beastie Boys..."Car Thief"...Paul's Boutique...(Capitol)

Borrows from this Michal Urbaniak production.

The Eagles..."Those Shoes"...The Long Run...(Asylum)
This is the ONLY time you will ever hear the Eagles on the program. I really can't stand their brand of soft rock, but this tune was sampled by the Beasties on "High Plains Drifter" and truth be told is a very funky tune itself.


X Clan..."Verbs of Power"...To The East, Blackwards...(4th & B-way)


Beastie Boys..."Sure Shot" (Large Professor rmx)...12"...(Capitol)


Jimmy Smith..."Root Down (And Get It)"...Root Down...(Verve)
Sampled by the Beasties on "Root Down", this stands as my favorite Jimmy Smith tune, it's so goddamn funky.

Sir Mack Rice..."Three People In Love"...45...(Capitol)


DJ Paul Nice..."Funky Breaks"...5 Fingers Of Death Battle Breaks vol 2...(Super Break)


Beastie Boys..."Pass The Mic"...12"...(Capitol)


Jeremy Steig..."Howling For Judy"...Legwork...(Solid State)
More Beastie samples...
