Friday Music Day

FMD — Music City

18 Comments

Next Wednesday I am heading down to Memphis and Nashville to go on a week-long musical pilgrimage. Sun Studio, Stax Musuem, Beale Street, Graceland, Ryman Auditorium, blues and country bars. I'm really looking forward to it. If anyone has been in those two cities and has recommendations for food and bars, hit me up. I'm not looking for the touristy places, but places the locals like to go to. Definitely Memphis bbq and Nashville hot chicken will be on the list.

Have you ever gone on a musical pilgrimage? Doesn't have to be a week long sojourn. Perhaps you went to the Surf Ballroom when passing through Clear Lake. Or went to Paisley Park. Maybe you checked out the Let it Be house in SW Minneapolis or walked across the street on Abbey Road in London. What was it like?

Drop your lists.

Again, strong lyrics in this. But the video is so good I couldn't pass it up.

SGP is a part of the current wave of mixtape rappers (see also: Lil Ugly Mane, Gorgeous Children) bringing back the mid-90s Memphis sound. His mixtapes are full of pops, hiss, and really poor mastering. He was signed to 4AD last year and brought out Mysterious Phonnk, which was a collection of his best mixtape tracks re-done with far, far better production values. This session has Purrp in a mic'd up room performing three tracks: "Mystikal Maze," "Get Yah Head Bust," and "Don't Give a Damn." The songs and visuals are both on point.
