Briefly tempted to see if a 329-item poll would work

is this being auctioned for charity, or are his descendants just greedy? sort of sad... i guess all of it can't go in a museum.

amateurist, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:54 (seventeen years ago)

wtf there are LOVE LETTERS in there. really sad.

amateurist, Monday, 14 July 2008 22:57 (seventeen years ago)

It is kind of sad in a way, I agree. Still, I would love that Moog.

Pashmina, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:12 (seventeen years ago)

I want an outfit. To wear.

nabisco, Monday, 14 July 2008 23:45 (seventeen years ago)

this is why you should burn everything before you die!

amateurist, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 01:48 (seventeen years ago)

(er, not because nabisco wants to wear your stuff. well, not only because nabisco wants to wear your stuff.)

amateurist, Tuesday, 15 July 2008 01:48 (seventeen years ago)

auction as (auto) biography

five months pass...

NOT the best place to post this nec., but i heard a James Brown track the other night that i seriously need ID for: very long, with announced key changes to a D and then a section about what the letter 'F' stands for whilst getting to F. super-funky, with weirdly heavy kicks...definitely sounds like James on vocals, but the entire track is much more lushly-produced than msot stuff.

please help! i love him and i can't find the radio playlist or any reference anywhere.

What kind of tempo/feel?

ichard Thompson (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 7 January 2009 18:54 (seventeen years ago)

it is a straight signature, i'd say fast enough to be mixed into some early house shit quite nicely. very deep, i'd venture that it is almost 10 minutes long-- sounds like a very intimate and fun live studio session-- not much in terms of actual singing moments, more just James being a bandleader and dancing, it seems.

kinda sounds like the Sex Machine remake from '75, or something else from that era

Tracy Michael Jordan Catalano (Jordan), Wednesday, 7 January 2009 19:09 (seventeen years ago)

hmm investigation begins. thanks.

does it help if i mention there's a part where one of the band says "F is for.....FREEDOM" and everyone goes "hell yeah" and what? i might call the radio station if i can't figure it by the end of tonight.
