Always been a huge Neil Young/Crazy Horse fan and have just aquired Psychedelic Pill which is fantastic. The opening track entitled Driftin'Back is 27 and a half minutes long!and for me is the pick of the album. Also just got tickets to his concert in London this summer, Ye har!

Right on Corp! Saw NY and CH at the Brixton Academy many moons ago - one of my fave gigs.<br />

Who the fuck wouldn't want to do this for a living?<br />

Yeah!! The old master still going strong eh. He was once referred to as the white Hendrix when he went heavy-back in the day!<br />
You were the last person I expected to be NY-CH fan! Well done mate,your music taste is impeccable! He is surprisingly not that well known here in the UK. I saw him at the Hop Farm festival(Paddock Wood) in Kent a few years back,it was brilliant,he did a 2 hour acoustic set by himself with guitar/mouthorgan then did a 2.5 hour stint with Crazy Horse.Talk about value for money! A living legend. -
This edit of a Grateful Dead(!) track is fucking great. Very cool tune, killer groove.<br />

The intro made me think it was going to go to trippy places, but it's the same Dead white-man funk underneath. The original was probably the funkiest thing they ever did - which is why a lot of Deadheads don't like it - but I always liked it 'cos it had producer Lowell George (the late-great Little Feat frontman) as producer/engineer and his funky white-boy imprint is all over it. (Funkier than Disco Stu, George may well have been the funkiest white man ever.) Not a huge Dead fan, but one time I did get trapped on a road trip where I had to see them 4 times in a row. The music didn't always work for me, but being a regular touring band with a huge repertoire, I was amazed that they could play marathon sets every night with completely different set-lists, they'd take minutes between songs discussing what to play next. I wished more bands did the same. -

I can quite honestly say that is the only new release played on commercial radio in 2012 that I actually liked. Well played Paeks. I'm a 75 year old in a 35 year olds body. -
I've been rediscovering my love of 70s funk and soul via Spotify and got back into Lafayette - a US outfit that relocated to Paris and drew upon African influences there to build a sound that provided a fair few back beats for the later hip hop scene.<br />
<br />
Anyway, in bringing this to you via YouTube I found this clip of their signature tune - Hihache - which I think effectively communicates the, ahem, primal urge of Lafayette's Afro-funk sound.<br />
<br />
Enjoy, but perhaps not in an open office .......<br />
