#TheNew °°°° Amnesia Scanner - AS Chaos feat. Pan Daijing (Lyric Video)
I was expecting much more from this name. Some tracks are very good, others I find to be quite insubstantial, as if they are trying to fit into an ill-fitting outfit. It probably deserves more attention, but if it doesn't grab me on the first listen, it's hard for me to change my mind—I'm a stubborn mule.

#DUST °°°° Ice Cream Man - Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers
Here "innocent" is the first word that comes to mind for J R's music, and if I added "childlike" it would be the ultimate, the music of my dreams.

#FilmMusic °°°° Pulsar Milano violenta (full album)
The chase scene captures the symbolic siren and the streets. This image has stuck with me, later referenced in films like "Naked Gun." I wonder how many grooves (as the pros say) have been sampled by artists for their work; DJ Shadow comes to mind, and times have changed very quickly.

BO LA FEMME DE MON POTE (THE WOMAN THAT GOT AWAY) - Vidéo dailymotion

back in (now) 1983, the film "La Femme de mon pote" directed by Bertrand Blier was released, featuring Michel Gérard Joseph Colucci better known as Coluche, a French actor and comedian of Italian descent (a fun fact: in 1985 he starred in a film by Dino Risi with Beppe Grillo...), and to make a long story short, the soundtrack was composed by none other than John Weldon "J.J." Cale, yes indeed, the number one.

uhm, we've lost a Legend...

J J Cale - To Tulsa And Back(Full Album)

They used to say that the Velvet Underground never sold many records but every record they sold inspired a new band.

You could say something similar about J.J. Cale, who never moved much product but did provide the sonic blueprint for Dire Straits and Eric Clapton's solo career.

Cale's influence can be felt not only in those who recorded his songs (Johnny Cash, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Allman Brothers, Waylon Jennings, The Band, Chris Smither, Poco, Santana, Widespread Panic, Captain Beefheart and Gatemouth Brown), but also in everyone who borrowed his swamp-rock sound, a counterintuitive blend that manages to be funky and laid-back at the same time.

That sound is intact on To Tulsa And Back, Cale's first studio album in eight years.

Though he has lived in a silver trailer in the California desert for years, Cale recorded this album in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma, where he once hung out with Leon Russell, Carl Radle, David Gates, and the future Tractors.

Tulsa old-timers such as Walt Richmond and Jim Karstein help put some funky midwestern humidity back into Cale's sun-baked music.

He sings in a whispery baritone so sleepy he often seems on the verge of yawning, but don't let that fool you; his country-blues compositions are so full of shifting rhythms and slippery guitar that you can never get to the bottom of them. In an era when so much rock strains to sound more complicated than it really is, Cale's music is the exact opposite.

Rockets - Ideomatic (1981, Official Video - Different Version)

I remember it like it was yesterday when they arrived from Mercury.
Not surprisingly, they were very tanned: almost roasted.
