What's The Connection? Free 2

I don't remember the movie much, but I remember the feeling when I saw it. I was younger and I saw it on TV. The movie was Born Free and the title track of the song as done by Matt Monro is on this part two of the Free Connection. I did part one some time ago (see Free volume one here). I probably should have waited for a special freedom oriented day to arrive to post this, but I have been feeling freer since January anyway and it was there just waiting. I like that this volume of the compilation is bookended by two long very cool free songs and a bunch of other great songs inbetween. You can't get more apart than Funkadelic and Lynyrd Skynyrd and yet it totally works. I have another eight hours of free songs and eventually I will post another one. They just aren't finalized yet. Similar cover. Isn't it nice.

What's The Connection? Bullets 3

Not much to say on this third volume of this Bullet Connection. This one is a bit more on the rock side, although there are a couple not that way. So add this to the others and then compare and contrast. Not much else to say. Punk, rock, R&B, and then some Bill Laswell and even some Prince. Enjoy it. This is the last for awhile.

What's The Connection? Mess My

A few days ago I had the Mess Around connection and today, it's the next part I made around that. These are all songs Messing something of mine. I call it Mess My. But it has Messed My and Messin' My too. You would think I would have several with messing with hair, but I didn't find but one at least on first look so you get lots with minds and men being messed with. A couple od brains, but that's sort of like minds. Messing with a tush and a couple of toot toots and surprisingly only one about my sister. Very similar cover as the last one (and following ones, too.)

Rock, Freak, Boogie 3

One more of this pick. Disco is always one of my favorites and this Rock, Freak, Boogie pick was fun to make originally and now it is already volume 3 of it. I got a several recommendations on the previous one: Rock, Freak, Boogie 2. Some of those are in this one. I always listen to recommendations and take them into consideration for future volumes. There are some good ones here. I hope you like them. There is a great 15 minute version Alexander Robotnick's Obsession. Look it up. I edited out the beginning of Isaac Hayes song, because it works better in the mix. The Isley Brothers also have a disco 12 inch version that's very good.

What's The Connection? Twilight 2

You'll have to go back a few days or so to find part one of this Twilight connection. A few longer tracks on this volume and also some really cool ones. SPK, Lou Reed, Shnazz and the Cornell Hurd Band!? Throw in a little Ministry and Robyn Hitchcock and next thing you know Bill Laswell shows up.

What's The Connection? Mess Around 1

I was listening to a music program and they played Jim Croce (who I like) and was thinking of messy songs. So this connection started because of big bad Jim. But as I was thinking of all the songs with mess in the title I realized I could get around to refining it more, so I did. I had more to use, but also made a Big Mess of it in the end. Sorry, but not sorry. More songs messin' with your (and my) sanity coming in question. Either way this is fun. Even if there are doubles of songs on this playlist. The cover is messed up as well.
