We had an eclectic show this week, with Xan getting back to some strong afrobeat grooves and me going off the rails with a 13 minute string quartet track... and not a single drop of hardcore, if you can believe that.
I think the standout cut this week was definitely Xan's lead-in: Tony Allen's Home Cooking (Wrasse Records). A couple of weeks ago Xan mentioned on a whim that he could be happy just playing Black Flag through every show, but I'm guessing if you warmed it up with some Tony Allen, you could get anyone up and moving and dancing and, eventually, leading marches on government buildings and joining together across the world in mutual support of, and respect for, one another. I'm sure of it.
There's definitely something about drummers that gives them a closer, more vulgar understanding of how to get people moving. Primal, reptilian shit. Home cooking.
Check out the playlist from the 2010-10-29 show.
