One more, Most will know this as the intro to Jackass
I knew Blueberry Hill sounded wrong but I couldn't remember the name. It was definitely Cicero's basement that I saw the Bottle Rox at. The ceiling was low even for me. I remember thinking that basement was a fire hazard waiting to happen.Down on the Loop I mostly went to Cicero's not Blueberry Hill so much. Cicero's basement was a dive in real sense of the word. The old (original?) basement bar was famous because it was maybe a 6" riser in a 150 year old building's basement. You'd hit your head just walking, forget jumping around. Anyway Alex Chilton was the first person to use it in late 80s. It was only a venue for a few years but launched Uncle Tupelo. That was the first place I'd heard them.
This is the Old 97s playing there. I saw a band called The Delilah's there. Their lead singer was really tall, like Dean tall. He just hung on that beam all night so he wouldn't knock himself out.
Hey, hey, baby, how you doin', come on in hereHere's another hot joint from the 80's!
Todays my Friday so here ya go. I remember my sister bought this new tape back in 89 by this whack group called De La Soul. At 9 years old I was like WTF is this?!? It wasn't until I heard this song that it changed my whole perspective on hip hop and it sucked me in like a moth to a flame and I have been in love ever since.
Crazy! I'm pretty sure I have most of there CDs so I have always had access to there music.Did you know De La Soul has never been available on iTunes or other streaming services? Interesting that, apparently their lawyers never got permission for their samples for any media other than physical.

The hip-hop pioneers have their first new album in 12 years, “And the Anonymous Nobody.” But if you want to hear their early work, look for CDs, vinyl and cassettes.www.nytimes.com
