Laura and I are crashing with my best friend Greg in Ohio for the next few weeks; work’s been kinda tight since I left Canada, and I’m down here searching. Billions of things go through your mind when you’re looking for a job and can’t find one in the industry – do I look into other industries for a job, or do I continue pushing my own things? Do I find somewhere to hunker down and get through a rough time? It’s pretty amazing to be someone who has a wonderful and crafty partner with which to weather the bad times. I’m so grateful for my life, and it’s amazing to have such good friends. It is truly humbling.
I was sitting here this morning with Greg and Laura, and Greg put on this great album full of excellent groove. I had no idea who it was until Greg put on this track, which is about 3 minutes of the total 21 minutes of the tune on the album:
I had no idea this was Rare Earth, and even less idea that they were this good. I feel like a failure of the funk:
Go get a cup of coffee, sit down on the couch, and groove to this song — just hit play, you know you need some Rare Earth in your Saturday.
Ready?
Set?
