Johnny Cash  The Chicken In Black   Favoriting The Chicken In Black (7")  Columbia  1984  Yes, this was actually an A-Side produced by Billy Sherrill. It wasn't written by Cash, though. Presumably Gary Lee Gentry wrote it w/ Cash in mind all the same, as the lyrics seem to indicate this is the case. I had no idea this existed until yesterday, and I am hoping to forget about it as soon as possible.  0:00:33 (Pop-up)

Chicks on Speed and The No Heads  Is Bigger Better   Favoriting Press The Space Bar  Chicks On Speed Records  2004  Chicks on Speed is a feminist music and fine art ensemble, formed in Munich in 1997, after members Australian Alex Murray-Leslie and American Melissa Logan met at the Munich Academy of Fine Arts. Though Chicks on Speed reached cult status throughout the 2000s as catalysts of the musical genre electroclash, the band was founded and more broadly, performed as a multidisciplinary art group working in performance art, electronic dance music, collage graphics, textile design, and fashion. They are still making art and music to this day...  0:06:50 (Pop-up)
Vitalic  Chicken Lady   Favoriting Flashmob  Different, PIAS  2009  French electronic producer Vitalic offers speaker-frying synth-riffs (or sometimes just synth-squeals) to scare off wannabe aesthetes and IDM refugees, reaffirming the productive struggle in post-acid dance between funk and floor-clearing noise. Unwittingly, he unleashed a scourge of wannabe sound alikes that flooded the dance clubs with side chained distorted basslines drenched with the stink of bad cocaine farts. Luckily, he has the ability to incorporate near-psychedelic sweep, a sensuous ability to overlap often grating textures until they become both beguiling and disorienting...even...beautiful. This is not one of those moments. Chicken Lady is pretty punishing and I like it that way.  0:09:13 (Pop-up)
MDC  Pecking Order - Millions Of Dead Cops   Favoriting Millions Of Dead Cops (Millennium Edition)  Beer City  2014  MDC is an American punk rock band formed in 1979 in Austin, Texas, subsequently based in San Francisco, and currently Portland, Oregon. Among the first wave of bands to define the sound and style of American hardcore punk, MDC originally formed as The Stains. MDC released material through ex-Dead Kennedys singer Jello Biafra's independent label Alternative Tentacles. In the 1990s, vocalist Dave Dictor published editorials for the internationally distributed fanzine Maximumrocknroll. MDC's initial run ended in 1995, and the band spent five years on hiatus, before returning in 2000 with some new band members.  0:12:34 (Pop-up)
Dead Kennedys  Chicken Farm   Favoriting Frankenchrist  Alternative Tentacles  1985  The third DK album, Frankenchrist The album is an example of the progressive, psychedelic side of Dead Kennedys' musical personality. The spaghetti Western soundtrack influence is noticeable in the horn parts and in East Bay Ray's guitar work. Frankenchrist is also noted for its relative lack of traditionally "hardcore" material, with most of the tracks being slower and longer. The album was a subject of controversy because the original record sleeve included a poster featuring the painting Landscape #XX, or Penis Landscape, by H. R. Giger, depicting rows of copulating penises and vulvae. Biafra was brought to trial for distributing harmful matter to minors, and though the case did not result in a conviction, Alternative Tentacles was almost driven to bankruptcy. Frankenchrist's front cover itself depicts a Shriners parade, featuring Shriners members driving miniature cars, wearing their distinctive red fez hats. The four Shriners members pictured in the photograph sued Dead Kennedys in 1986, even though it had been published by Newsweek over a decade before.  0:13:43 (Pop-up)

Charlie Feathers  Jungle Fever   Favoriting Get With It: Essential Recordings (1954-69)  Revenant  1958  This version sourced from John Fahey's "Revenant" label, compiled in 1998. Charlie Feathers is fantastic. This song is from 1958. "Charlie Feathers was many things to many fans of rock and country music. To some, he was a superb country stylist who could take almost any piece of material and stamp it with the full force of his personality. To others, he was one of rockabilly's great pioneers, there at the dawn of Sun Records. And Feathers' stubborn insistence on combining elements of country, raw blues, and bluegrass to make his own version of the rockabilly experience showed him to be one of the genre's most original and enduring artists... By 1954, Feathers was working his way into the confines of Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service, with an eye toward getting something released on Sun Records. He filled in whenever and wherever he could, helping with arrangement ideas, even playing spoons on a Miller Sisters session. Demoing songs for steel guitarist Stan Kesler found him getting half credit on the Elvis Sun side "I Forgot to Remember to Forget." Phillips decided to start a local non-union label called Flip to test out new artists, and after pairing Feathers with country session songwriter-musicians Bill Cantrell and Quinton Claunch, released Charlie's first single on that label, the classic "Peepin' Eyes" coupled with "I've Been Deceived." The record kicked enough noise locally to get Feathers transferred to Sun for a second single, but the artist had bigger visions. Although Phillips saw him as "a superb country stylist," Feathers wanted to rock and cut many Sun demo sessions in that style. When Phillips turned a deaf ear to it all, Feathers' impatience led him to Memphis rival Meteor Records, where he waxed the two-sided rockabilly classic "Tongue-Tied Jill" and "Get With It." This single garnered enough Memphis airplay to cement him a deal with King Records, and it is here that the Charlie Feathers as rockabilly legend story begins in earnest. The dozen or so sides he cut as singles for King are the greatest '50s rockabilly tracks to escape the hegemony of the Sun studios, with "One Hand Loose," "Bottle to the Baby," "Everybody's Lovin' My Baby," and "I Can't Hardly Stand It" all becoming classics of the genre. Their territorial success got Feathers on numerous package tours and multiple appearances on Dallas' Big D Jamboree. When the King contract ran out, Feathers continued to record one-off singles of very high musical quality, for a variety of Memphis labels, while stubbornly playing his music for whatever local audience cared to listen." As for chickens... "The chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus) is a domesticated red junglefowl species that is originally from Southeast Asia. They have also partially hybridized with other wild species of junglefowl (the grey junglefowl, Ceylon junglefowl, and green junglefowl). Rooster and cock are terms for adult male birds, and a younger male may be called a cockerel. A male that has been castrated is a capon. An adult female bird is called a hen, and a sexually immature female is called a pullet. Humans keep chickens primarily as a source of food (consuming both their meat and eggs) or as pets. Traditionally, they were also bred for cockfighting, which is still practiced in some places. Chickens domesticated for meat are broilers, and for eggs, they are layers. Chickens are one of the most common and widespread domestic animals, with a total population of 23.7 billion as of 2018, up from more than 19 billion in 2011. There are more chickens in the world than any other bird. There are numerous cultural references to chickensโ€”in myth, folklore, and religion, as well as in language and literature."  0:26:53 (Pop-up)

"The Sound of Speed is an EP by Scottish rock band the Jesus & Mary Chain, released in June 1993. The EP was released by Blanco y Negro Records on 7-inch vinyl, 10-inch vinyl, cassette single, and CD single. It reached number 30 on the UK Singles Chart. William Reid and Jim Reid produced all the tracks."  0:31:21 (Pop-up)
The Kills  Black Rooster (Fuck And Fight)   Favoriting Black Rooster EP  Domain Records  2002  "The Kills are an indie rock band formed by American singer Alison Mosshart ("VV") and British guitarist Jamie Hince ("Hotel") in 2001." "In 2001, the Kills showcased new songs on a demo tape; however, the pair shunned approaches from major record labels. Recording as VV and Hotel, they contributed the song "Restaurant Blouse" to the compilation If the Twenty-First Century Did Not Exist, It Would Be Necessary to Invent It. Shortly after this, they signed to Domino Records and recorded their debut release, the Black Rooster EP in Toe Rag Studios in March 2002; it was all recorded on 8-track by Liam Watson except "Dropout Boogie" which is live at Paint It Black, 4 April 2002 and "Gum", recorded on a Dictaphone by the band. The record sleeve featured photos of Mosshart and Hince taken in a photo booth rather than professional photography. The record was lo-fi in both musical and aesthetic terms. Musically, the record was a sparse, lo-fi garage rock/blues hybrid though the band cites Captain Beefheart, PJ Harvey, LCD Soundsystem, The Velvet Underground, The Fall, Patti Smith, Suicide and Royal Trux as immediate influences; the music press has largely compared them to The White Stripes."  0:34:45 (Pop-up)
Jo-Jo And The Fugitives  Chips-Chicken-Banana Split   Favoriting Jamaica to Toronto: Soul, Funk & Reggae 1967-1974  Cobra / Light In The Attic  1968 / 2006  Written-By โ€“ Wayne McGhie. "Joseph "Jo-Jo" Bennett began his musical career at the esteemed Alpha Boys' school in Kingston, Jamaica... His mastery of the trumpet, jubliant stage presence, and eagle eye soon caught the attention of prominent bandleader Byron Lee who quickly snapped up the young player for his busy group, The Dragonaires; performing all over the West Indies... Leaving Jamaica to travel with The Dragonaires to Montreal for Expo 67, the trumpet dynamo decided to remain in Canada. He sought out potential opportunities in Toronto and soon befriended Kermit and Kingsley Lyn of the West Indian Federation [W.I.F.] Club. After a short stint with The Cougars, Bennett was given the break of assembling his own group, and he drafted in a gang of crack Montego Bay players, including guitarist Wayne McGhie. By 1968 the Fugitives had recorded McGhie's "Chips-Chicken-Banana Split," released on the little known Cobra label. "Chips and chicken go together, and the dessert was banana split," explained Bennett with his trademark laughter. As for the flavour-filled sound, the song is an animated R&B shouter with utterly raw vocals and contagious playing that typified the explosive energy that the crew delivered on-stage. Jo-Jo And The Fugitives pushed along until their leader's short-lived return to Jamaica in 1969..."  0:39:10 (Pop-up)
Shadowy Men On A Shadowy Planet  Run Chicken Run   Favoriting Explosion Of Taste [EP] / Savvy Show Stoppers  Jetpac / Yep Roc  1988 /  Written by Written-By โ€“ Wray, Cooper...Toronto's surf-rock legends serve up some Link Wray chicken licks via a stovetop oven top Popcorn package --- The original version of this b-side came attached to a package of Jiffy Pop popcorn. Side two is labeled "Demonstration Side - For Home Use Only. An edible PROCAN product. For complete nutritional breakdown write Jetpac 334 St. Johns Rd, Toronto - M6S 2K4." It would later find itself on their debut full-length compilation album "Savvy Show Stoppers", released that same year (1988) & most recently reissued on Yep Roc records.  0:41:25 (Pop-up)
The Fall  Free Range   Favoriting Code: Selfish  Phonogram  1992  "Code: Selfish is a 1992 LP by British rock band The Fall. Their 14th full-length studio album, it entered the UK chart at number 21, although it spent only one week on the chart. The album is characterised by its harsher sound in relation to the previous year's Shift-Work, and is influenced by techno music (techno fan Dave Bush had been added on keyboards and computers). Despite this, the album also has some notably mellow moments, with "Time Enough At Last" (named after an episode of The Twilight Zone) and "Gentlemen's Agreement" being at odds with the overall sound of the album. Largely recorded in a converted church in Glasgow, Code: Selfish features the group's only self-penned Top 40 single, "Free Range". The album would prove to be their last for the Phonogram label, as the group were dropped following the release of the Ed's Babe EP later in 1992. Simon Ford reports in his Fall biography Hip Priest that Phonogram had to compensate the band for the early termination of their five-album deal and that these funds were used to record what became The Infotainment Scan."  0:43:42 (Pop-up)

Charles Mingus 

Bird Calls   Favoriting

Mingus Ah Um 

Columbia 

1959 

"Mingus Ah Um is a studio album by American jazz musician Charles Mingus which was released in October 1959 by Columbia Records. It was his first album recorded for Columbia. The cover features a painting by S. Neil Fujita. The title is a corruption of an imaginary Latin declension. It is common for Latin students to memorize Latin adjectives by first saying the masculine nominative (usually ending in "-us"), then the feminine nominative ("-a"), and finally the neuter nominative singular ("-um")โ€”implying a transformation of his name, Mingus, Minga, Mingum." ""Bird Calls", in Mingus's own words, was not a reference to bebop saxophonist Charlie "Bird" Parker: "It wasn't supposed to sound like Charlie Parker. It was supposed to sound like birds โ€“ the first part.""

McCracklin recorded over 30 albums, and earned four gold records. Tom Mazzolini of the San Francisco Blues Festival said of him, "He was probably the most important musician to come out of the Bay Area in the post-World War II years." For a brief period in the early 1970s McCracklin ran the Continental Club in San Francisco. He booked blues acts such as T-Bone Walker, Irma Thomas, Big Joe Turner, Big Mama Thornton, and Etta James. McCracklin continued to tour and produce new albums in the 1980s and 1990s and died in 2012 at the age of 91.  1:02:47 (Pop-up)
The Bees  Chicken Payback   Favoriting Free The Bees  Virgin Records  2004  The Bees are are an English band from Ventnor on the Isle of Wight. One of the influences the Bees have cited is the mind-altering drink called ayahuasca. Singer Paul Butler came to drink this plant medicine with shamans in Peru after being introduced to it by Devendra Banhart. "The whole thing has brought a lot of joy into my life.

Hasil Adkins  Chicken Walk   Favoriting Out To Hunch  Norton Records  2002  Born at the time of the Great Depression, Adkins' early life was stricken by poverty. His parents were unable to provide him shoes until he was four or five years old. Some reports say he attended school for a very brief time, as few as two days of first grade.

One of his brothers was named Basil, similarly pronounced "Bassel" Hasil Adkins loved to eat meat, specifically poultry, the subject of many of his songs.Following the release of 2000's Poultry in Motion, Adkins toured with "dancing go-go chicken" dancers.

Public Image Ltd.  No Birds Do Sing   Favoriting Metal Box / Second Edition / Plastic Box  Virgin / EMI  1979 / 1999  'No Birds Do Sing' is a line from a poem by Keats. I just borrowed a bit of it because it suited this particular rant about suburbia. - John Lydon, 'Plastic Box' sleevenotes 1999. --- This song is the first to feature Richard Dudanski on drums, as 1979 would see a collection of drummers coming and going... "The departure of Jim Walker made way for a series of new drummers. Auditions were later held at Rollerball Studios in Tooley Street, London Bridge. David Humphrey was their second drummer, who went on to record two tracks at Manor Studios in Oxford, "Swan Lake" and "Albatross", for Metal Box. "Death Disco" (a.k.a. "Swan Lake") was released as a single in 1979 and reached No. 20 in the charts. The majority of the drumming on the album was provided by Richard Dudanski (formerly of the 101ers), PiL's drummer from April to September 1979. He was replaced by Karl Burns (of the Fall), who in turn was replaced by Martin Atkins. The recording and practice sessions were chaotic; Atkins said in 2001 that his audition was playing "Bad Baby" during a recording session--a take which was taped and released on Metal Box. Atkins was PiL's drummer from 1979 to 1980 and 1982 to 1985."  1:21:17 (Pop-up)

Cibo Matto  Know Your Chicken   Favoriting Viva! La Woman  Warner Records  1996  Cibo Matto founders Yuka Honda and Miho Hatori made the world a smaller place by means of their swank and upbeat flair for combining international concepts and musical forms with charismatic results. The pair formed an act with an Italian name and flavored their recordings with juxtaposed French and broken English peppered with Spanish and Japanese. They borrowed likewise from Latin and African jazz rhythms along with whatever else suited the moment. Although each of the Japanese-born duo emigrated to the United States independently, they met by chance in New York City and joined forces. As their music evolved, they attracted the attention of respected musicians, including Beatle offspring Sean Lennon who came to be accepted as a defacto member of the group.  1:46:34 (Pop-up)

Pipecock Jackxon! Certainly. Inspired by the famous album The Return of Pipecock Jackxon (1980) in which, after destroying his musical sanctuary (legendary Black Ark Studio) Lee Perry manifested himself with one of his most important pseudonyms. A real moment of Catharsis and new Creation. Here it is. Now, thanks to Raffaele Ferro - producer, alongside Dubital, of the Science, Magic, Logic album friend and collaborator of Mireille and Lee Perry for years - comes a new musical adventure. Featuring remixes, cover and reworkings this record is a posthumous tribute to Lee...The world is going to an end, and I'm not scared". Lee still gives us a joy, an awareness and maybe even a magic trick, or a spell, or a blessing, to help, accompany and mitigate what seems to be still the general concern. That of a End, to be replaced with a perpetual New Beginning. The Rainbow."  1:52:50 (Pop-up)

The wine cellar is insane! Jesse's good friends with Aaron Barberian, the original owners son and current owner... they became buddies because Jesse used to work at the American Apparel next to it, they shared an ally and therefore they would share a lot of joints hahaha so we've been taken down there to see it a few times now... there's a $600,000.00 bottle which is just insane
