He's the D.J., I'm the ...

Last week I was in NYC and dropped by Mr. Finewine's Wednesday party at Botanica. He had a guest DJ who was playing this:


D.J. Rogers: "Celebration" (Shelter, 1973)

D.J. Rogers's first two LPs, the self-titled one that this is drawn from and 1976's It's Good to Be Alive, both contain a lot of great moments. His arrangements and songwriting draw heavily on early-70s Sly Stone, but they're cut with a lightly religious message of uplift-- there's none of Sly's cynicism, but also none of his wit.

I wasn't gonna post two songs but this is just too timely (what up, Wall Street!):


D.J. Rogers: "Bailout" (Shelter, 1973)
