OK, so we’re a little (read: a lot) drunk. It’s 2:42 a.m. and we’re ripping records with my wife and my boy Royce and drinking vokda/gin and tonics. We had sushi and we’re digging in the 45s.
So, this Otis Redding 45 has all sorts of crackling and excellent analog warmth. Love it. You like the crackling. You do. We’re drunk. You like Kriss Kross, too.
By the way, the Iron and Wine/Calexico concert was recorded from NPR. Those mp3s are coming soon. Very soon.
Otis Redding | (Sittin’ on) The Dock of the Bay
Kris Kross | Warm it Up (Dupri’s Mix)
New Edition | Cool it Now
is it bad that i still know every word to “warm it up”? yeah, i think it is.
Thanks for recording that I&W/Calexico from NPR last night, looking forward to hearing that.
Chris, I believe it. Are you still wearing everything backwards?
excellent post!
holy shit! i love new edition!!!!!!
Oh, that New Edition tune is choice. I remember listening to that constantly as a kid…
Fabulous post. Classics all around. Bobby Brown is crazy.
This post makes up for the severely damaged “Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay” I got from my uncle a few years ago.
What do you use to rip vinyl?
secret Kriss Kross fan right here, although I never did wear my overalls backwards. I do know all the words to Iesha. Is that a Kriss Kross song? Anyways, this post made me laugh SO hard. I’ve linked to it on my blog, FYI.
Thank you for drunk blogging!
Heather,
Glad you liked the post! Iesha was ABC (Another Bad Creation), who also sang the Playground song. Another classic, though!
