Song of the Day: Lidell Townsell – As Acid Turns

The other songs on this single/EP have a cheesy quality to them that I can’t get into.
But I love ‘As Acid Turns’ – it’s the definition of an acid track. A few great acid lines with a drum machine. Add in the vocals of Lidell just chanting “Slam slam dance”. The vocals sound like they were recorded in someones house as an afterthought – you can hear other people talking in the background. It’s that DIY quality that inspires people to this day. A drum machine, a 303, and a microphone and you have a quality track – one that sounds a lot better than the studio polished “Jack’n Tall”.

Song of the Day: Maurice Joshua with Hot Hands Hula – I Gotta Big Dick / This Is Acid / Feel The Mood

Sigh.
Really, Maurice? I’m not looking for Shakespeare, but you got into the studio and the only thing you could come up with is “I Gotta Big Dick”?
Oh well, ignore that crap and flip the record over for the deep acid original version of “This Is Acid” before Vendetta Records and Les Adams remixed it for the worldwide smash (that didn’t contain any acid – that’s some fine corporate thinking for ya).
