Yet another
Wild Weekend, which we´ll celebrate in the usual way: with a sixpack mix of songs chosen by my iPod´s nifty shuffle function. Get down.
And off we go with Curtis Mayfield, and a funky junkie lament from his famous soundtrack to the
blaxploitation flick
Superfly. "I´ve got a jones, runnin' through ma' bones, I'm sorry son, all your money's gone..." Which is followed by a perfect ode to boredom by obscure Detroit protopunks Destroy All Monsters. Yup, that´s Ron Asheton of Stooges fame on guitar folks.

Tricky´s amazing Maxinquaye still gets plenty of playing time around here. This Bristol-bred triphop masterpiece still sounds as fresh now as on the day it was released back in ´95. Special attention for Martina´s mysterious vocals: sublime. Next on the agenda is some far out heavy stoner rock by Alabama Thunder Pussy. These guys - who hailed from Virginia btw - sure knew their rifferama. Fab band name too of course.

We continue with Alexander ´Skip´ Spence, the acid casualty of sixties greats Moby Grape. Before he became completely fried, Skippy recorded the first lofi album ever: the fantastic Oar. Let´s hear it for Lawrence from Euphoria, Vivian from Oblivion and Ellie Mae from Californ-i-a! And we bid you adieu with some exotic sounds from faraway Azerbaidjan. I don´t know much about Ashiq Hasan, but I guess you will agree with me that he´s one hell of a singer.
