WHO IS WILLIAM ONYEABOR?

Apparently a man named William Oneyeabor made some mind blowing music back in the '70s...and its been lying dormant...until...NOW...
 
A new collection of his work, William Onyeabor - World Psychedelic Classics 5: Who Is William Onyeabor? has now been re-issued, and is available now, on Luaka Bop.

There are also a number of world wide parties going on for this special event, and may have already happened in, or may be coming to, your very own city. Until you find out, peep this incredibly hot jammer. Kinda burning it up right now...

JMR : TYSON.

Everything is my new fave. This guy/song came from a recently posted mix (again)...to paraphrase a comment from SoundCloud on this song:

Dude.

Tyson. That's all I know and all I need to know...as long as there are more songs like this...

Tyson - Out Of My Mind by PurplePR

THROWING STONES.

A couple new things from Peanut Butter Wolf & crew....


First a free 6 song cover EP from Mayer Hawthorne. This is a really fffffkking cool collection of songs. Some old ones, some newer ones, some with his band, The County, and the one below even featuring his Pops on the pedal steel. I love how Mayer (and all the Stones Throw peeps) are such diggers, and appreciators for/of old soul and funk gems. He revamps a couple here. Honestly, I would just post em' all b/c every track on here is so quality. And its free.

Here's all the info, and a link to the free download via his Stones Throw page...

I'm for sure feeling the sexy ass cover of Chromeo's Don't Turn The Lights On...and this, which is added to my new summ jams fer sheeeeez. Sicky guitar solo....




Also now available in the ST store is the new self-titled full length from Hero fave James Pants (a.k.a. Jimmy Trousers). James has (a great first name...aaaand...) quite a knack for psych-funking the shit out of the already soulful jams he creates (I promise not say 'funk' or 'soul' again this post...).

Dig it fool.
