YIM MAS GAN

I knew this Abyssinians song since a long time, but when I heard it this afternoon, playing randomly the Trojan "Rebel Music" compilation, I took it right in the face, so ...
Rasta mainly use the expression "Satta Massa Gana" to thank God, but the correct amharic expression seems to be "Yim Mas gan".

Croustibat is gone yesterday. Blundetto's guitarist and film director Julien Bittner was his spiritual dad, best friend, inseparable mate, and maybe more sometimes, who knows... Jul and Croustibat, seven years of a lovely collusive friendship story.
So long Crousti.

NEXT STEP ?

I never posted any dubstep sound around here. Now it's done. I'm not a fan of this kind of vibes, but this one makes me headbanging like I never did since 1991. That's maybe because I really love the original from Barrington... Anyway, try it loud with A LOT of bass, you'll like it...
Another info, tomorrow @ La Cigale, Paris, I'm proud to announce Blundetto Soundsystem° very first Gig for General Elektrik's opening ! Big Tings We Gwan, Seen ?!

BUGS IN AMBER

This isn't new (2009), this isn't exclusive (no), it was just playing randomly this morning in my ears. I had forgotten those great tracks from the band Get The Blessing. The Hornz section is the one for Portishead. Their album goes from smooth mystic jazz to post-punk Brass tracks. Stunning. It fits to the pic of the day, by mOnilola, give thanks, my lOve.
