Biography
Dele Sosimi stands out as one of the most active musicians currently on the Afrobeat scene worldwide.

Dele’s career began when he joined Fela’s Anikulapo-Kuti’s Egypt 80, where he played keyboards for 7 years (1979-1986). Fela Anikulapo-Kuti was the founder of the style of music known as Afrobeat. The music is a blend of complex but highly danceable funk grooves, Nigerian traditional music (including hi-life), African percussion, underpinning the jazz horns and solos from other instruments, as well as rhythmical singing. Dele was the rhythm keyboard player for Fela Anikulapo Kuti’s Egypt 80 and worked and toured extensively with Fela around the world…

During Fela’s incarceration in 1984, Femi Anikulapo-Kuti – Fela’s son and Dele’s childhood/school friend took over the reins temporarily and led the band Egypt 80. During this period, Dele developed his arranging skills as the musical director of the band. He re-orchestrated and re-arranged for the Egypt 80 and also handled the recruiting and training of new musicians in Egypt 80. Dele played keyboards on the following Fela/Egypt 80 hits, among others Parambulator, Power Show, Original Sufferhead, Customs Check Point, MOP 1 (Movement of the People), Give Me Shit I Give You Shit, Authority Stealing, Army Arrangeement, Government Chicken Boy, ITT (International Thief Thief), and Teacher Don’t Teach Me Nonsense.

It's a 'White Pepper' kinda morning... feeling nostalgic, I guess... from the makers of South Park & Ween:

Even If You Don't (official video)

"Jazzy" Ween...:

Pandy Fackler

...is ok, as long as it's about a mentally challenged, homeless prostitute that lives under a Jersey boardwalk... heh.

Probably their most "accessible" album (full playlist here)---> Ween - White Pepper

I was relatively late to the Ween party myself.

Started listening to them around 1998.

I've only scratched the surface on this fellow, Dan Reeder. Got my attention when a friend told me about him, and that John Prine put him on the OhBoy! label.
I think he was doing all his own illustrations for things like the Born A Worm video.
I first learned about his more ribald side with this one (also check out Food and Pussy);

More recently , these little gems;

Right now at this very moment it's this... Not sure why it says "'56"... fat-finger much? It was released in '87 (recorded in '86):

Sonny Rollins - G-Man (live video!)

But I'm listening to the better sounding official live audio release heard here: Sonny Rollins - G-Man
Bob Cranshaw....

 

[Bologna]

The Jon Spencer Blues Explosion - Funeral

That's the opening track from the very good full release heard here : 'Freedom Tower - New Wave Dance Party 2015'

[CANtalk]

Very well recorded, great on headphones.

MO sounds amazing live recorded as well (as the best bands always do).

Enjoy

 

[CANtalk]

Speaking of amazing indie band live recordings. One-take in studio here.

 

[CANtalk]

Muse live is pretty awesome too. Amazing guitarist and drummer. I like to watch the drummer bits early. Live in Rome.

Same song 7 yrs earlier in Wembley

More Muse worth seeing
A little more experimental

Excellent song and video

This song is all about rock guitar, the solo with even more of it (going through 3 rounds too).

There's a lot to listen to with Muse.

Daddy's band

M83 (electronica) collaborated on videos for three excellent songs with Fleur and Manu.

"Wait," from M83's late-2011 double album Hurry Up, We're Dreaming, starts out as a relatively understated track on an album of outsize granduer. As

Never been a huge reggae fan, but this song is solid.

And a little Brittany Howard to keep the mood positive!

El Vy is pretty cool too if you like The National

Vaping on some math rock this morning

“perpetually complexing the simple, I, for one, am done!”

El Vy is pretty cool too if you like The National

I'm trying to decide if I "like" The National now.... I mean, I like the album I posted quite a bit, or the first half of it anyway... and others said they really liked the follow-up release, 'Boxer', tho that one never "grabbed" me... otherwise, I guess I really don't know much about 'em... heh... but I'm psyched to checkout your suggestion, thanks!

Also from around back then, some excellent Austin indie/alt rock, Spoon:

Spoon - The Underdog

Spoon - Don't You Evah
