Richard went through his collection and sent in a couple hundred songs from all over the world. And then Stinky started emailing mp3's -- just one at a time, every now and then. The two of them convinced me that it was worth revisiting.
It's taken awhile to sort them into compilations. With such a volume of tunes, it became possible to organize them into themed compilations. I enjoy the diversity of the first few Triple Word comps, and Crab Devil and I did a couple where the songs all had the same or similar titles.
But how to organize them -- chronologically? geographically? by genre? I ended up with some of each, and here are the first three (out of a total of sixteen or more CD-length sets). Yeah Yeah Yeah is mostly rhythm & blues. Wild Wild Wild is country music -- as old as Grandpa Jones, and as recent as two years ago. Heavy Heavy Heavy is music by African artists, from L'Orchestre TP OK Jazz to Femi Kuti and Vusi Mahlasela -- and from the north, south, west (and possibly east) of the continent.

Thanks again to Richard, Stinky, Berni and the anonymous reader who suggested "Coffee, Coffee, Coffee" for Koen's coffee comp!
Just to avoid any confusion: "Girl Girl Girl" was NOT recorded by the Itty Bitty Titty Committee. Victor Uwaifo's band and the IBTC are two separate organizations, each with its own mission and values.
DeleteThank You, Jonder. There will be more.
ReplyDeleteGood golly, you have MORE? I don't know if I can handle any more! I can't sleep, my wife moved out and took the kids, the bills are piling up...
DeleteJust joking, of course. I'm grateful for all the music you have shared.
I think we completely forgot this Dutch band: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykpyM_LAXb0
DeleteNo it was among the first things I mentioned to Jonder. He and/or Stinky did a la-la-la and na-na-na compilation. It was not there. Hope Jonder finds the goodness to incorporate it in a following selection. But the Shoes, great band.
DeleteRichard sent me so many songs that I have at least an hour of Dutch music with triple word titles, including "Na Na Na" by Shoes! Coming up soon...
DeleteYay, yay, yay! Thank you very much!
ReplyDeleteA triple download as well, you sure keep that theme consistent! ;-)
ReplyDeleteThese compilations make my heart Sing! Sing! Sing!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that folks like you and Crab Devil aren't tired of them! I have so many more now, thanks to you and Richard.
DeleteDarn, darn, darn! I stopped keeping track but ok here's a few. Some could be duplicates but I'm not getting paid to be accurate. If you'd like to discuss a raise....
ReplyDeleteLone Crow Rebellion - Shame Shame Shame
Los Gallos - Yeah Yeah Yeah
Los Lobos - Buzz Buzz Buzz
Mumford & Sons - Dance Dance Dance
The McCormick Brothers - Coffee, Coffee, Coffee
Pokey LaFarge - Home Home Home
Good to see you again, Berni! It has become a challenge to keep track. I'm trying to avoid duplicates (songs that have already appeared in other sets, and songs that are covers of others). Several of the songs on "Wild Wild Wild" were suggested by you. Thanks for these new ones!
DeleteI don't know what Butterboy, Sprayon Pants or Nekro & Dog are paying you. I can offer you 20% more than what Stinky and Koen are getting. But keep it confidential -- I don't want them to find out!
We can use this ultra-confidential forum to negotiate. No one will ever know.
DeleteI found out, yeah I found out, and you deserve nothing less than double, of what Jonder pays me.
ReplyDeleteFinden sie Arbeit, Ausländer!
DeleteHave we all missed Lefty Frisell - Give Me More, More, More of Your Kisses?
ReplyDeleteAlso there's Matthew Grimm and the Red Smear - Fuck Fuck Fuck
Twice Richard's pay rate? And there was much rejoicing!
Berni's already earning that bonus! Two great songs!
