Here's a little slice of early 80's minimal art-funk for the Spring. Just percussion jams and bass for the most part, with some NYC weirdo having at it with the mic. And yeah, Grandmaster Flash sampled "Cavern" for his classic "White Lines (Don't Do It)". I always loved
Liquid Liquid's repetitious grooves (probably the thing I liked most about Can), perfect for long drives, bike rides or breaking out of a long winter hibernation, hopping a train and heading to the club. That club being The Attic in S.F. tonight, where Jesse DJs the Tuff Town night with Jay Howell.

i love sal principato’s vocals. it sounds like he could be a ghost or maybe singing into the mic at the end of the hallway

p.s. if you like liquid liquid, you might like the pop group. although they are a more on the dub side and a lot more out there

yeah, pop group had some good stuff. “we’re all prostitutes” was a ripper. i’d probably post more of that sort of thing but so much of its been reissued and re-hyped over the last 5+ years i kinda thought its too late to mention (ie: trying to find a picture of Liquid Liquid was impossible, every search ended up with 10 shots of james murphy). LL is so minimal and weird though, that seemed like a good one.

hm, i think a majority of good music has been reissued and rehyped though. can, esg, liquid liquid included. i don’t believe that super obscure necessarily makes the music more special.
