More MJ

Two revelatory MJ videos spotted over at Soulstrut:


Jackson 5: "Can I See You in the Morning" (Motown, 1970)

I had forgotten how great this song is; it's just about the pinnacle of psychedelic soul. I had also forgotten how low budget the J5 cartoon show was; half the pleasure in watching it is catching all the corners they cut with the bare-bones backgrounds, the endlessly repeating frames and so on.


Jackson 5: "Walk On By/The Love You Save" (Motown, 1971)

So that's where that beat comes from. It had been bugging me for years.

And just because:


Caetano Veloso: "Nega Maluca/Billie Jean/Eleanor Rigby" (1986)

Labels: ,

Actually I was talking about PE's "By the Time I Get to Arizona"! I love the way they use the crowd noise in the midst of those massive, thudding drums.

I haven't heard the Non-Phixion song although I'll probably track it down.

MAN! Amazing on so many levels! Yeah I had always wondered about that By The Time I Get To Arizona sample, it's definitely one my favorite PE tracks...props to the bomb squad for their ill techniques!


AND Jackson 5 covering Isaac Hayes?! I'm blown away, they killed it.
