RIP DJ Katapila from Ghana, born Ishmael Abbey. He blended Ghana styles with Chicago & Detroit style dance. He dj’d parties, funerals and more at home, and after Brian of Awesome Tapes from Africa found 2 of his tapes and re-released them, he did Europe gigs as well.

There’s a long heartfelt Awesome Tapes from Africa Instagram post

Word from his family that one of the last of his kind, famous boxcar and mail artist buZ blurr has passed on.

His work graced thousands of train cars all over the US, and his other art was exhibited widely. A kind, learned, and excellent person.

More of his famous “Colossus of Roads” moniker here: https://www.northbankfred.com/buz.html

I hadn't heard till now - on January 3rd, Tawl Ross of the original Funkadelic group, at the age of 75. Billy Nelson is now the only member of the instrumental quintet left.

RIP Tawl

Wow at Jesse Jane. She used to date Kid Rock, because of course she did. I heard a story once that during a lull in their relationship Kid Rock literally sent her an 18-wheeler full of Budweiser to try and woo her back.

He gets a spot in my pantheon just for singing "Funky Dollar Bill" (the 45 mix below is rougher than the LP but interesting):
