Totally forgot about the Tony Randall show. I just remember the pigeon part of the intro. Probably past my bedtime anyway. 

I’m sure now that Peter Gabriel used this song to make “Sledgehammer”

Dr. John - What Comes Around (Goes Around)

It seems like I might have posted this before, but I can't find it so hey. The short conversation in Bug Reports about bands membership not being white dudes made me remember this:

A while back on the facebook, AliGator posted Boogie Oogie Oogie by A Taste of Honey. I always liked that song but never had the MTv to tell me anything about them; I always assumed they were like Chic: some guys masterminding things but with women out front. Which is fine, whatever gets the hits. But I watched the Taste of Honey video and was surprised to see that the women up front are singing, sure, but also lead guitar and bass. "TELL ME MORE!" I said, so I hit the google and found THIS TOTAL RABBIT HOLE of cool history (drop the needle on all the clips!), including the low-budget genesis of that Super-Soul 70s Synthesizer Orchestra Sound™ that became ubiquitous in TV action scenes.

Lots of cool trivia there. The Mizell brothers are producers I don't think I've heard of, but Larry Mizell, Jr. is a DJ at KEXP so that name jumped out at me. But the other thing I noticed was that, for example, the Donald Byrd track and others mentioned are on Blue Note.

Blue Note was recently bought by Don Was, which I know because of this great podcast where Rick Rubin spoke to him about ...everything. Very interesting talk between two greats.  

So anyway, lots of fun, starting with DISCO!

Here's a video of them playing in 2004 so you can see them;

But this one is way better, especially the guitar shredding. Unfortunately, it seems like the camera that should have been responsible for shooting Hazel on guitar malfunctioned; anytime she takes a solo, they don't have the camera on her.
