Hands down.

Outloud — It’s Love This Time (1987)

posten — Thu, 31 Mar 2011 08:50:13 +0000

Funk 80s — a recent find from local flea lot. From the album “Out Loud”. A trio of Nile Rodgers, Felicia Collins, and Philippe Saisse = Outloud. Video is “all digital”. Very retro-future-fashionist from today’s point of view? (Talking ’bout the video.)

Music from and inspired by Finnish sketch comedy shows Pulttibois and Manitbois. Might have some added value for Finns but certainly you’ll be able to enjoy the mix on it’s own! The music here ranges from the years 1985 to 1990. A melting pot of delightful new jack swing, hip-house, breaks, funk and house with distinctive Pirkka-Pekka Petelius-style, who is widely known as a reggae enthusiast.

Musiikkia ja vaikutteita sketsisarjoista Pulttibois ja Manitbois. Mukana myös muita samanhenkisiä biisejä. Hymyilyttävää ja raajoja liikuttavaa meininkiä. Sarjat sisälsivät aikanaan paitsi mieleenpainuvia hokemia, myös ajankohtaista musiikkia eri genreistä. Pirkka-Pekka mitä helevettiä?

Jatkamme, saamme kenties elää.

Bernard Wright – Who Do You Love (1985)

HUH & HAH! Upright bass. Jimi Hendrix looks. John Coltrane poster on the wall. Sincerity of Bernard. The breakdown part of the song starting at 2:27. Not a single misstep in the video — or in the song. Pure aesthetic pleasure.
