LOOSE JOINTS - POP YOUR FUNK

This song feels very NSFW. Sort of like the Whisper Song. Part III of Loose Joints' three recordings, 1983. That cello at the start is the inimitable Arthur Russell doing something like a cello's nod to slap bass. Slap cello.

LOOSE JOINTS - TELL YOU (TODAY) (Original 12" Vocal)

What a sexy little voice that is ~ like an Aaliyah sample. Part II of Loose Joints' three recordings, 1983. Wanna fall in love in a city to that piano solo. GET DOWN

SUPER DJATA BAND DE BAMAKO - BIMOKO MAGNIN

Tangential Psychedelico says Happy Valentine's Day to you. Earth angel sounds from Super Djata Band de Bamako, via the impeccably curated Ghost Capital via worldservice. Worldservice has dedicated six posts to this band, which is from Mali but increasingly difficult to find recordings of in its home country, and nearly impossible in the rest of the world. This volume was released in the early 80s by Musique Mondiale. The guitar sounds like dripping tea and sun.
