0:00:01-0:03:35 ) Let’s Get It Started (Spike Mix) by The Black Eyed Peas off of Elephunk.
0:03:36-0:04:47 (Rev. interruption 1. Background music: Il Tramonto by Ennio Morricone off of Kill Bill, Vol. 2 soundtrack)
Yes, Let’s Get It Started. What you just got done listening to was, of course, The Black Eyed Peas, with the more P.C. version of that song. If you’ve had Elephunk you know what I mean. But enough stirring the pot, lets dive right back into the sound waves. I’ve had a crush on this next artist since the first time I heard her. And this that very song. One of the most influential folks of funk you’ve probably never hear of, from They Say I’m Different, this is Betty Davis with Git In There.
0:04:47-0:09:16) Git In There (Record Plant Rough Mixes) by Betty Davis off of They Say I’m Different

0:17:13-0:18:10 (Rev. interruption 2. Background music: Apocrypha by Immortal Technique off of The 3rd World)
I’ll keep it brief because I want to fit all the music I can in this episode. First we had the always, in all-ways, alluring Ms. Davis, then we had her ex-husband Mr. Miles Davis playing with John Coltrane on a track called Budo. Then came The Atomic Fireballs with a song about Mata Hari off their album Torch This place.
Well, I think I’m in the mood for a bit of reggae. So I’ll meet you right back here, in about… 14 minuets or so.
0:18:11-0:22:20) Buffalo Soldier by Bob Marley & The Wailers off of Legend.
0:22:21-0:25:45) All Night by Damian “Jr. Gong” Marley & Stephen Marley off of Welcome To Jamrock.

0:32:01-0:32:48 (Rev. interruption 3. Background music: Dee by Ozzy Osbourne off of Blizzard Of Ozz)
Ahh, the evolution for reggae. That was Bad Brains with their song I against I off their record of the same name. Before that was Skindred with a song off their first, and pretty amazing album, Babylon. (I usually love it when to distinct genres breed a new.)
Before that we heard, Damian & Stephen Marley with All Night. And, of course, we started it all off with the Buffalo Soldier, Bob Marley.
Well; Brothers, sisters, this’, thats, and th others, as I said, the less time I dilly with my dally the more songs we get, so without any further ado the Carolina Chocolate Drops.
0:32:49-0:36:05) Po’ Black Sheep by Carolina Chocolate Drops off of Leaving Eden

0:40:54-0:42:36 (Rev. interruption 4. Background music: Crow Waltz by The Be Good Tanyas off of Hello Love)
I warned you. I love the ugly mutt offspring from the mating of two different genres. That was Cowboy Troy with I Play Chicken With The Train. Just before that we had, Big Al Downing telling us about what it’s like Down On The Farm. And we started this set off with with Carolina Chocolate Drops doing Po’ Black Sheep off Leaving Eden. In an interview Rhiannon, said, one thing that always gets left out of the history of traditional county-folk music, is the huge part black folk played in it. That stretch of songs was with her in mind.
I’ve never know much of anything about my family lineage. But still I’d be remiss If my February episode wasn’t one in honor of Black history Month. But lets listen to the amazing poet, Saul Williams.
0:42:37-0:48:00) Black Stacey by Saul Williams off Saul Williams

0:59:17-0:00:03 (Rev. interruption 5. Background music: A Short Reprise For Mary Todd, Who Went Insane, But For Very Good Reasons by Sufjan Stevens off of Come On Feel The Illinoise!)
First we had Saul Williams sharing with us about his adolescent insecurities in Black Stacey off, what I believe is, his first album Saul Williams. Then came Chuck Berry to try and tell him lots of people are looking for a Brown-Eyed Handsome Man. After that we heard from the late, great, Sharon Jones and her Dap-Kings telling us how long it took her love fall apart, from her 2007 release 100 Days, 100 Nights. And then came The Weeknd to give us another point of view with Wicked Games from the House Of Balloons.

1:08:13-1:08:52 (Rev. interruption 6. Background music: Oni Swan by Man Man off of On Oni Pond)
First, that was Chance the Rapper from his Acid Rap record, which he gives free to all who want it, all you have to do is go download it. Then we heard from (hed) p.e. off their amazing album Broke.
That’s all we have the time for this month. You’ll be hearing from me again around the 8th of March. But, since I like to leave you on a high note, here is Chris Rock to explain to us all about Drugs, Donuts, and Wealth.
1:08:52-1:18:54) Drugs, Donuts, and Wealth by Chris Rock off of Never Scared
