Nasty Habits Draw Your Brakes is totally heavy. I'm awfully partial to Johnny Too Bad myself.

Trey Krimsin I've been playing a lot of The Best of The J. Geils Band CD recently. I was more familar with the songs from "Love Stinks" and "Freeze-Frame", but the 70's JGB tunes are excellent. I keep playing tunes like "Give It To Me" , "Lookin' For A Love", and "Ain't Nothin' But A House Party" over and over again.

BTW, I know there is a longer version of "Must Of Got Lost" somewhere. Anyone know what album it's on?
May 21st, 2004 11:56 PM
VoodooChileInWOnderl it is on the original release "Nightmares...and Other Tales From the Vinyl Jungle" more than 5 minutes against the less than 3 minutes version

Check the very first J. Geils Band studio album and of course "Full House" a great live album

They became clowns, I don't like the 80's and beyond band, and I told this to Daniel Klein drinking some beers on Hartford before the Stones weekend in 1999

Steve Earle did it. So did Taj Mahal. As for actual reggae artists I think that Horace Andy did a version and so did the Mighty Diamonds, among probably a lot of others. And god knows how many times the riddim has been dubbed.

You ever heard Johnny Clarke? His Rockers Time Now and Enter Into His Gates albums just KILL me. So good!

Currently: Bill Withers: Live at Carnagie Hall double LP.

I was thinking of Steve Earle - I saw him rip through it at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival one year...

funny that we are talking about this because last night, the DJ was spinning some good dub between acts [I was taping Mike Watt + George Hurley (Minutemen duo)]. One of the tracks he threw down was draw your brakes (the Scotty cut found on the Harder They Come album), and another was a cut from Hugh Mundell but it wasn't from Africa Must Be Free or the dub album (because I have those). Just writing this is making think of Spear's Gravey's Ghost album - I might have to throw that down this weekend...

I have also been listening to a "hardcore meets dub" compilation that I just picked up. there is some good stuff there, although I wish the bankrobber (the clash) dub was one that was new to me (it's not).

nope, but I will seek those titles out (maybe even this weekend)...

currently listening to my recording from last night (watt/hurley) as I master and track it

caro I'm listening to some Led Zeppelin on the net, pretty much for the first time. Which leads me to a question : Would it be a stretch to say the ending of 'Kashmir' was stolen from (or inspired by) the spheric sounds of '2000 Light Years' ?
