Roots of Rap …
sugerhill gang and grandmaster
This was my second Rap EP I could get my hand on in 1983! Still have it.
"The Haunted House Of Rock" was the first track on "Whodini", the self-titled debut album by the hip-hop group Whodini. It was released in 1983 on Jive/Arista Records and also spawned the hit single "Magic's Wand". Whodini was among the first hip-hop groups to cultivate a high-profile national following for hip-hop music and made significant inroads on urban radio. The group signed with London-based independent record label Jive Records in 1982, ...."
But what I am really hearing at the moment is Peter and the Wolf, because my children heard it at school and made this lovely Leporello.

Ticketmaster needs to be dismantled and their entire corporate governance drawn and quartered.

I, too, am feeling nostalgic today.

Good selections all…and if we are getting all nostalgic...I was a conflicted teenager. Owned these then, own these now...

We are child free and having a night stopover in London this weekend to see this amazing gal Julien Baker at Shepherds Bush Empire, then Son of Stag and Sunday Upmarket.
If you live with, or know someone who lives with mental health issues she will cut to your core…

Dang, I feel old. ^^Mogwai was the last band I saw live back in '08 for the Hawk Is Howling tour.

@gaseousclay I am more selective when booking gigs these days. When I played in bands I went to shows 3 times a week. I'd rather be with my family these days.
Last year the best gigs I attended were Swans, Slowdive, Natalie Merchant, Iron Maiden, Ani Difranco. Later this year we are off to see Slowdive support The War on Drugs…It will be euphoric!

I'm in a similar boat…i'd rather spend time with my son these days. However, my concert attendance fell off a cliff when I first met my ex. She absolutely hated the music I listened to (anything with loud guitars) and even called into question why I needed so many records and cd's ??? Never thought in a million years that i'd have to explain to someone that my love of music is why I have a record collection.

I really dig what these guys are doing. Obviously very much influenced by classic rock and very Zeppelin esque, but probably one of the more original sounding bands I've heard in a long time. They sound great live as well which is always a bonus. Singer has a great voice. I believe they are out of Michigan.
