Bonjour tout le monde. I thought I would kick off my contributions with someone who is news to me but I suspect old news to most people In The Know, the tobacco enriched vocal chords of Mr Gil Scott-Heron. I just got back from Melt Festival in Germany, where Chris Cunningham ended his VJ set with a remix of New York is Killing Me, which I thought was awesome. However, for now content yourselves with the original until the video inevitably appears on the interweb.
For those of you with a penchant for old timey blues, here are two classics of the genre, Skip James with his Hard Time Killin' Floor Blues, and the perhaps lesser known Snooks Eaglin with St James Infirmary. Apologies for YouTube-only links.
Finally, I posted this on facebook a while back, but I still love it. Inherently cheesey, but a video that nonetheless makes me smile excessively.
