Bad Side

It's a miracle I did not lose you
It's a miracle you let me speak
I gave you cause to punch me in the face
And yet you turned the other cheek

A Taste of A&M

By request, here's a re-up of this tasty A&M comp.

DIG IT

Jackie Jackson

Along with Bongo, Sneezy and Pete, Jackie is one of the forgotten Jackson brothers - but this album is very much worth hearing. In the mode of the Five Stairsteps and the Delfonics, this is a rare, sweet-soul treat.

DIG IT

Fear

Drapes are drawn
All over this land
Everyone is sleeping sound
The wheel's unmanned
Goose is cooked
Pretty spooked

Hamilton Face Band

By request, here's a curio that features a pre-Zappa Ruth Komanoff on drums, as well as Steve Margoshes, who would go on to write music for broadway shows.

DIG IT

A Good Man

So I am a peephole
Into a windowless room
Where the sweat on the tiles
Is the only perfume
On the desk is diary
And next to it a vase
The rose draws blood
And it drips on the lace

Acapulco Marimbas

Some mellow vibes for your Sunday morning.

You Are What You Eat

Just prior to his involvement with the Band, John Simon moved up to Woodstock, tossed out his suit and tie and cobbled together this late-hippie-era soundtrack that features the likes of Tiny Tim, Peter Yarrow and other assorted oddball scenesters. It's a true document of a time that is now long gone.

Super Soul

Nifty exploito soul, brother.
