It's always sad to hear about musicians passing away (even if you weren't much if a fan) - the good news is that remixers get access to the music for seriously funky remixes that trump anything the artist actually produced.........

Another great re-imagining by Reflex:

http://soundcloud.com/thereflex/bee-gees-staying-alive-the

All music comes from the original recording.........the Gibbs just didn't realise how funky they could be! I suppose that's what you get for claiming that you invented Disco  ;D

Ok, but appears to lose the original hook and that bass

Shangri-Las, I can never go home anymore.  And that's called sad.

Shangri-Las, Past, Present and Future.  Go out with you?  Why not?

Slayer, Raining Blood.  Hang on, there's an augmented 7th in there, isn't there?  Recorded on a phone, I think.

Bush, Everything Zen.  Surely one of the great grunge tracks.

Anyone have any comments on the acts in the Diamond Jubilee concert ?  On the whole I thought the younger performers came out better than the older ones, Stevie Wonder and Tom Jones being two exceptions to that.

Just because I hav'nt listened to them in ages, here's a little Jamiroquai:

Kids...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAxp8VDwBzc&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Deeper Underground (you need a good Hi-Fi to get the most out of this)...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RwsltwhTugU&feature=youtube_gdata_player

The best for last - Virtual Insanity...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMPTXAc9aJ0&feature=youtube_gdata_player

I could watch the last video over and over all day. What can I say, I've got a penchant for silly hats and even sillier dancing.

All the musical and vocal references are a bit too obvious, which is why I don't listen to them all that much........must check in on Craig Charles tomorrow and catch up with this weeks instalment real deal funky souly music  ;D

Time for something unsigned and un-hyped......UK Hip-Hop from the crew that 'don't do shit hip-hop'.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-IT0370UVM&feature=youtube_gdata_player

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v_fVDbjbCh4&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Bonus points for anyone who knows the hook used in the first song.

For the night-owls and Sunday nighters - Monday mornings are not so bad ...... just go with the flow ...

Probably my favourite indie band - Noah and the Whale - First Days of Spring:

I think someone already linked to the Walk Off The Earth viral of this song, but here's a really really great cover.

Johnny Cash, Hurt.  Johnny looking and sounding like Moses, really, or just someone close to death.
