Revolutionary Plastics Hour: Volume Forty-Six
Oh, my friends, my good, good friends! What a time it’s been. We apologize for the break in service & would like to assure you that systems will be fully operational again as soon as possible.
Meanwhile, here’s the most recent entry into the Revolutionary Plastics Hour canon; it’s from December 11, 2012, & I don’t have to tell you that I’m thrilled to finally get this out into the world. Dig, if you will, a picture:
• A non-album track from Neon Neon, the—well, what do you call a super-group if the members aren’t all that amazing but are still something more than just also-rans? Oh, right!—the Avengers-group of Gruff Rhys (Super Furry Animals) and Boom Bip (that whole Anticon scene from the late nineties), whose album was a concept piece centering around the (high) life & (hot) times of John Delorean. This song brings Johnny Carson into the mix; why? Can’t say for sure, but it’s catchy as feezy, yo.
• A song from that single that Prime Minister Louis Farrakhan released, back when he was still going by Louis X.
• A song featuring bassist David Hood, a member of the legendary Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section and the father of Patterson Hood, one of the primary driving forces behind the Drive-By Truckers.
• A really fun remix of a great song by Brick, called “Dazz” (which I’ve played on this show in the past) by the also legendary Latin Rascals. It’s from the era when a hell of a lot of high-profile remixes were being done by Arthur Baker, who was certainly cool; but this sounds different, which is great.
• A song that Walter Becker & Donald Fagen wrote for Barbra Streisand, back when they were jobbing songwriters-for-hire.
• The only song Ice-T & Ice Cube did together (at least, until recently; I don’t know if they’ve made a hott collabo anytime in the last, say, ten years, because I haven’t been checking their albums very closely in that time) (oh, like you have).
So—all that, plus even more, ladies & gentlemen. If you want to skip the standard PSA nonsense, start at about 2:50, so you get the setup for the astounding John Oates composition that kicks off this awesome & long-delayed set. Hope you like it.
