Future Blues

blues

A good friend of mine could be considered a futurist, he believes than in less than a few decades, the human race will achieve singularity. He defines that as a point where the human race no face bodily ailments, with the help of nano-bots constantly repairing and improving our bodies. In a conversation (not involving alcohol surprisingly) I proposed that if the human race will no longer needs to worry about STD's and has the option, through the use of these nano-bots, for body modifications you get, in my words, 'loads of pretty people doing it all the time'. Similar 'dawning of the age of Aquarius' in the early 60's without the big hair.

Not quite the utopian society everybody is interested in, but quite intrigueing no the less.

Well that's the theme for today. Mine personal futuristic take on things will come next week.

Album of the moment

Dub Side of the Moon by the Easy Star All-Stars is exactly what it sounds like and SOOOOO much more. It's a damn roller-coaster ride of dub, electronica, reggae and loads of other genres.

The track order is exactly the same as Dark Side of the Moon and each track lazily drifts into one another in the original manner.

The main difference is the experience itself. It's just so much damn fun, especially when you dig into "Time" and "The Great Gig in the sky (incidental my all-time favourite Pink Floyd track) the vocals in the latter seem to be picked from the original, sprinkled with some soul and plunked right back it there.

Matt's Pick for the week of July 4th


Aiya! Well folks after a brief hiatus I'm back and this week I'm bringing the funk! Hailing from Nashville, TN The Dynamites with front man Charles Walker are at the center of the funk/soul revival that's been brewing since 2007 and with their second album being prepped for release now is the perfect time to join the party. Off their debut album, this weeks pick Killin' It is a blast of 60's James Brown with a peppering of that classic Memphis sound thrown in for good measure. Guaranteed to make you want to get up off that thing and shake it like you just don't care!

Honorable Mentions:

William DeVaughn - Be Thankful for what You've Got
The Delta 72 - Rich Girls Like to Steal
Joseph Henry - Who's the King?
