“It’s superb, his voice is gross. It sounds like a wood door just being fucking stabbed just - right in the dick, and I love everything about it.” - Tyler The Creator
Oh he can play any genre of music without a thought. They prove how really good musicians they are right at the moment people start to think they just special needs who playing noise therapy.
Sun City Girls are actually a brilliant band. A lot of there stuff is a little tongue and cheek, or experimental in a way that doesn't always come off, but they've made some fucking transcendent music along the way.
I used to work at a bookstore who's owner I had rented a basement room from. There was for a time a cat that had been given to us shortly after it's birth. Young, playful calico cat. The owner named her Brian Jones, but the nickname Mrs Jones started to stick. What makes this even greater of a song for me is that I would wake up to open shop, and Mrs Jones would be waiting for me outside the door and would follow me around while I made coffee and put the signs outside shop. Unfortunately she had been running away a few times and after like four times she ran away we found out she was hit by a car. This song will always be sort of a memento for her.
For anyone coming here because of Tyler the Creator, there’s so much more where this came from! One of the most influential, unclassifiable underground bands of the past forty years. The most-acknowledged classic of theirs is the album Torch of the Mystics, and there’s no better gateway drug to their wider sound and spirit - punk anarchy, deep instrumental prowess, and love / reinterpretation of any and all musical traditions - than “Space Prophet Dogon”. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gfQljgzAtRE.html
I know the vocals sound terrible but the thing that I think makes it good is the instrumental, and just the feeling behind the vocals. Like you can tell he's feeling it.
This is like the polar opposite of the original Billy Paul song. Billy Paul's voice is spectacular and conveys all the depths of his love for this woman and his shame for his actions, and this fucking guy is just losing it like a maniac
i found this again a few weeks ago, downloaded it to work phone and it's mysteriously become my ringtone....i just can't change it...also can't answer my phone now....fucking too good to interrupt!!
I was lucky enough to see them play this and a couple other Motown tracks. In Phoenix at the sadly now gone institution Modified Arts. I was 16? Most peoples jaw drop when I tell them the great legends that came through all ages venue downtown Phoenix needs another place modified arts doesn’t matter how old you are. People who love music don’t have to be drunk or over 18 I love this album. I have it on vinyl cassette and CD. It’s probably the best way into the Sun City girls that shows how great musicians they really were with equal parts of how insane they were. I love these guys and wish they were still playing.
2009 bro... Just cause i decided to randomly click on that nardwuar video i found this. But it makes me think of al the hidden gems that somebody else knows about, which we will never get to know about
i knew tyler was a music nerd but i had no clue he listened to scg so opening up a random scg song in my rec and seeing the entire comment section be tyler fans was whiplash for me
Thanks Tyler, you literally made something someone created that is supposedly bad, into something so good. i had a blast listening to this song, love yall reading this btw
I first heard this in the movie "Another Day in Paradise," during the scene in which Vincent Kartheiser demonstrates to Melanie Griffith that he can smoke a cigarette using his toes rather than his fingers.
Just want to make it clear I found this band because I’m an avid fan of Adam Cooley, aka scissor shock (and many other projects he did.) never knew this song was gonna be discovered or I’d have left my mark 7 years ago.
as someone just catching up on nardwuar content once in a while, its amazing to queue something in and wonder where the sweet f it came from, and go...huh...from...tyler's interview? really? did i mispell something? oh damn this is a weird niche xD, oh damn i could jam on top of this, i could loop a few licks, god damn i love nardwuar interviews
If you enjoy this, you might give a listen to "Help I'm A Rock" by Frank Zappa. Reminds of that, except that this song is much more chill and laid back. [EDIT] And yes, I'm also here because of Tyler. But I had heard of this band when I first started nerding out with music in 6th grade, age 12, and knew they were eclectic. Problem is, at that time I wasn't developed enough in my love for music so I wouldn't have even thought to listen to that. Now that I'm almost 25 and been through some shit, this song is like a breakthrough on an intense psychedelic journey and I WILL go back simply because I enjoy it. I'm just glad that of all the things that could've brought me here, it was Tyler the freaking Creator. My ALL time favorite rapper. He always blows my mind with how diverse and eclectic (this, Stereolab, Gary Wilson, N.E.R.D., Eminem, Can, Aphex Twin, etc.) his music library and knowledge is. Stay real Tyler💯
