Chet Baker,"I'm a Fool to Want You".

Enjoying this smoke filled version of the track...

Mick Harris & Martyn Bates , The Cruel Mother

Def Poetry Jam - Saul Williams (Coded Language)

FATCAT and FISHFACE CRACKAAR!

Crossfires - Dr Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

This is nuts, what were these guys taking. Love the way this just changes from straight to not! Real horror fun, real double lives and playing. These guys apparently recorded on the White Whale Label for a spell the suddenly turned into turtles. So that's what happens when you play this way!!!

The Iron Man! Cristina has gone!!

All gone, she's gone, decided it's best, No longer together, now just a past tense. A lack of sharing time, not inviting to stay, An eclipse happened, emotions in disarray. Out of the blue, she said it's not what she wants, During the eclipse, the words cut like sharp taunts. I warned her that July would be tough, But I promised her Canada, that should be enough. Now she can't wait, and I'm stuck in a bind, I need to work in July, but for her, I'm all aligned. It's crazy how it ended, I'm left in shock, She dropped off my camera and flip-flops, like ticking clocks. I still want to take her to Canada, show her the sights, But now it's too late, she's gone without any fights. I'll always remember the love shared, But now it's time to move on, to show I'm not scared. Life goes on, memories fade, But I'll always cherish the love that we made.

suave!

Dont cry!

I may have a reason to cry, but I wont, not now, but speaking of crying, Toecutter long term collaborator with V/Vm Test Records, brings his brilliance to the showroom.. Out, in direct it must be a bomb!

Teebs, Bern Rhythm, this video works!

A song from the Deep Blue here.

Specially trawled out of the sea for Valentines day. A deep sea recording with aquatic vocals by senor Elephant Fish. Indeed our fish here does sound like he has the bends or maybe he's just missing company to swim with, either way this tune could well be from a submerged island close to Atlantis.

Carolina Chocolate Drops is having it on the Kazoo - at WDVX's Blue Plate Special

Carolina Chocolate Drops' live cover version of "Hit 'Em Up Style" is nothing short of incredible. From the moment the song begins, the energy is electric, and it's impossible not to be swept up in the excitement. The band's performance is truly captivating, with vocalist Rhiannon Giddens delivering a powerful and soulful performance that is both braw, raw and refined. The addition of the violin brings a unique texture to the song, adding to the overall vibe and making it grassroot, raw and to the bone. What's truly remarkable is how they make the song their own, infusing it with their unique southern style and flippy energy. While the original version of the song is catchy and upbeat, the Carolina Chocolate Drops take it to a whole new elevated level, this performance is something special. Overall, Carolina Chocolate Drops' live cover version of "Hit 'Em Up Style" WDVX's Blue Plate Special is a must-see for anyone who appreciates gre
