Daily electricity to load your batteries

21 November 2023

Artists: THE GOODIES

Who: San Diego-based band founded by Justin Goodman (“Goodie”) and Zan. With a sound that blends reggae rock, pop, R&B, folk, and other genres, The Goodies draw inspiration from a wide range of musical styles. Justin, originally from Detroit, discovered his love for reggae music during a life-changing trip to Jamaica at a young age. Meanwhile, growing up in San Diego, Zan was exposed to reggae music at a young age by older siblings who were passionate about the Jamaican genre.

New single: AROUND THE WORLD feat. Lukup
New piece from their upcoming 6-song debut EP,
out in January 2024.

“Around The World” is what we call a “fasterpiece masterpiece”. We wrote and recorded the entire song in the studio in one day, including the featured artist Lukup, who also wrote their lyrics on the fly the same day. It was one of those magical moments as a musician when everything just flowed. The song is essentially a love story about how we are all looking for
love to save us.”

TUTV: This a honey-sweet, uplifting reggae earworm that makes your day on the spot, certainly on a rainy day like this in Europe. This is the kind of sonic upper that boosts your mood and makes you jump out of bed in the morning with a firm dose of lust for life. It’s sunlit vibe and feel-good bliss causes an on cloud nine experience, sooo welcome in these restless times.

Lyrically, reggae had a tradition of social criticism, overtime other, more personal themes were/are expressed too. Sonically to my ears its funky vibe always put a smile on my face and that’s what The Goodies do too with this rapturous tune about what The Beatles used to sing ‘all you need is love‘ back in the 60s. Let’s hope this universal message goes around the world once again and again and again.

OASIS Released Their Worst (Except For The Singles) Album ‘BE HERE NOW’ 25 Years Ago Today

Posted on August 21, 2022 by JL

Back in time

21 August 2022

Manchester’s rock titans OASIS released their 3rd LP BE HERE today 25 years ago.

Pitchfork: “Oasis’ third album from 1997 was always more circus than substance. The bloated and indulgent remaster only reinforces it as one of the most agonizing listening experiences in pop music… It wasn’t just the end of Oasis’ imperial period, but the record industry’s as well. Britpop receded to make way for a more humble kind of rock star in the likes of Travis and Coldplay.” Score 5/10.

TUTV: First things first. I was/am a supersonic Oasis fan. They gave the 90s a much-needed lets-fucking-rock-again injection, no arty farty BS, only scream-along wonderwall anthems for all the lads (like me) and lasses hungry for going bonkers again with a band they can identify with. I followed them from the very beginning (thank you NME). Their shows had the atmosphere of a sold-out Premier League Match. Glorious!

But as it goes with too much money and too many drugs it only was a matter of time before Oasis would fuck up. As happened with Be Here Now. Unfortunately, nobody had the bollocks to tell the stoned Gallaghers bros and their stoned mates to get the decibels down in the studio for this stinker, so anyone could a least hear the melodies crushed by the cocaine-fueled wall-of-guitar chaos.

Let’s go to Noel the chief Gallagher. He’ll tell you everything about why
BE HERE NOW was a major failure and he still looks in anger at it.
