Rapture by Blondie
+ 6 seconds of silence at the beginning to avoid copyright
Fun fact: this song was a the first number-one single in the United States to feature rap vocals.

_/_/_/ _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ 2023/02/22 映画「Wild Style」’83 Fred Brathwaite = Fab 5 Freddy Rock Steady Crew Double Trouble Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five Blondie / Autoamerican ’80 Rapture ヒップホップカルチャーをドキュメント的に記録した映画。演出の無い生のライブシーンは見応えがある。 WildStyle 25th Anniversary Edition https://youtu.be/VeTZ7PLCPdw 仕掛け人のFab 5 FreddyとRock Steady Crewを池袋西部の催事場で観た。 狭く薄暗いパーテションの部屋に段ボールが敷かれ、まな板ショーを観るように客がかぶりつく。 Rock Steady Crewは映画「Flashdance」でストリートダンスを披露したチーム。世界が初めて目にしたブレイクダンスのチームを生で観ることができて幸せだった。 Fred Brathwaite = Fab 5 Freddyはこの来日時に藤本義一の11PMに出演している。 本番中、藤本義一を挟んで反対側の松居一代を口説いているのに大笑いした。 https://youtu.be/SVdgrUgVSrE Fab 5 Freddyには横田基地で買ったコットンのショルダーバッグにサインを貰う。 Rock Steady CrewのKURIAKIとBUCK 4が 館内をうろうろしているのを捕まえて、持っていた傘にサインをせがんだ。するとサインではなくてちょっとしたグラフィティーアートを描いてくれた。 ヒップホップカルチャーはラップ、DJ、ダンス、グラフィティーからなる文化で、ダンスが得意でもグラフィティーやラップなどもそこそここなすと教えてくれた。 Flashdance https://youtu.be/8wN08oH8dzc 新宿椿ハウスでDouble Troubleと Grandmaster Flash & The Furious Five を観た。 Double Troubleは元Funky 4 & Plus 1 Moreのメンバーで、Rapping and Rocking The House(Got To Be Realネタ)をEnjoyから出していた。 https://youtu.be/L3SFuURpWr8 私はこれが大好きで、 ♪ This is the way we rock the house Showin' up, everybody gonna turn it out とDouble Troubleを捕まえてぶちかましてやった。笑 彼らはとても驚いて喜んでくれた。 間近で見た彼らはまだ子供だったんだよ。 こんなに若いんだ、と驚いた。 The Furious Five インディアンの羽根飾りを床まで垂らし、P-Funkerばりの派手さ加減。俺たちは悪だぜと一瞥して分かる、町で会ったら目を逸らしたくなる連中だった。 ショーは見た目に反して荒削りで、純朴さを感じる内容だった記憶がある。 Blondie / Autoamerican ’80 Rapture 「Wild Style」のオリジナル音源がなかったので、劇中歌のRaptureを用いた。 Rapper’s Delightの翌年、白人ロックバンドのBlondieからリリースされたRap曲。 デボラハリーの色っぽいラップがたまらない。 ラップのど頭にFab 5 Freddyの名が出てくる。 https://youtu.be/pHCdS7O248g ついでに Tom Tom Club - Genius Of Love ‘81 https://youtu.be/aCWCF19nUhA #WildStyle #FredBrathwaite #FabfiveFreddy #RockSteadyCrew #DoubleTrouble #GrandmasterFlash #TheFuriousFive #themessage #Blondie #Autoamerican #Rapture #hiphop #rap #dj #Funky4andPlus1 #RappingandRockingTheHouse #enjoyrecords #sugarhill #sugarhillgang #RappersDelight #tomtomlub #GeniusOfLove #talkingheads https://www.instagram.com/p/CpCdohnyqbo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Blondie - Autoamerican (Chrysalis – CHE 1290, 1980 🇺🇸) The new Blondie box looks fab-o; but - before I personally decide whether to take the plunge, or not - I’ve been revisiting my minty originals. I’m also very pleased to have Grammy-winning mastering engineer Michael Graves on my @vinyldistrict Radar podcast this week to discuss his work on the set. Click the link in my bio to hear it!

here's a random music q for y'all
I was thinking about how I just sort of have a thing for preferring unique album titles for whatever reason cause it helps the album to stand out from any songs and I think requires a bit more thinking (an example being how Blondie's "Autoamerican" album does not have a song titled "Autoamerican" anywhere on it) and I started wondering if anyone else is like,, as opinionated on this as I am? I'll admit I do also think it's fun to spot the album title in a song if none of the songs are title tracks (the song "Putting Shame In Your Game" on the Beastie Boys' "Hello Nasty" album features lyrics which reference the album's title, for example), so that's a happy medium!

Don’t Dictate: How DIY Punk Changed Music
Defiantly anti-establishment, punk’s DIY stance shocked the music industry in the 70s, but its influence can still be felt today – as uDiscover reveals.
Published on August 1, 2016 By Tim Peacock
After the UK’s premier punks, Sex Pistols, lambasted presenter Bill Grundy during their expletive-stuffed slot on Thames TV’s Today show in December 1976, the music industry received a short – but very sharp – shock.
Daily Mirror Filth And The Fury Headline - 300The immediate fallout was far-reaching. With the press having a field day, Sex Pistols became household names overnight, and the term “punk” (previously of cult-level interest) suddenly gained widespread exposure. Petrified promoters duly cancelled most of Sex Pistols’ scheduled Anarchy UK tour dates, and, early in January ’77, a beleaguered EMI eventually dropped the band from their roster, reputedly paying £40,000 for the privilege.
Suddenly, punk appeared too hot to handle. Yet while this defiant new genre’s very existence apparently posed a threat to the music industry’s established status quo, it ultimately dissipated with a whimper, rather than a bang. Having eventually signed to Virgin Records, Sex Pistols split in disarray in January ’78; their nearest rivals, The Clash, set their sights on America; by the turn of the 80s, “punk” had been neutered and hijacked by hordes of identikit, Mohican-sporting Exploited clones.
Punk Politics: Fighting The Power, From Sex Pistols To Anti-Flag
‘Metal Box’: Lifting The Lid On Public Image Ltd’s Seminal Second Album
‘Autoamerican’: How Blondie Became ‘The Most Modern Band’ On Earth
The Beatles - Now And Then
Sniffin' Glue - Now Form A Band - 300However, one aspect of punk’s anti-establishment ideology endures to this day: its inherent DIY ethos, most often identified with the quintessential punk commandment: “This is a chord, this is another, this is another… now form a band!” Incorrectly attributed to Mark Perry’s seminal punk fanzine Sniffin’ Glue (the quote actually appeared, along with the relevant chord shapes, in the January ’77 edition of punk ’zine, Sideburns), this impassioned plea to create – and promote – music independently is always associated with 1976, yet there are pre-punk precedents. In North America, for example, Californian power-pop label Beserkley had been operating outside of the mainstream since 1973, while Cleveland’s avant-garde pioneers Pere Ubu released their landmark debut single ‘30 Seconds Over Tokyo’ on their own Hearthan label in 1975.
DIY, however, figured prominently in punk’s manifesto right from the start.
