REPEAT IF NECESSARY

It's kind of stupid to post the same song two days in a row, not something I'd normally do. But there's a good reason this time. In case you missed it among the bunch of stuff posted yesterday, you've got to listen to the Pointer Sisters' cover of "Yes We Can Can", written by Allen Toussaint and originally recorded by Lee Dorsey, Just listen to it. Dig that bass line. Holy shit. About twelve seconds into it, when the guitar comes in, isolate it, just listen to the guitar. Man, that's some fine picking. Do the same thing with the drums. Just listen to the drums. Funky as shit, no? And they just keep getting funkier throughout the duration of the song. Now marvel at the fact that those are the only instruments. Guitar, bass, drums, that's it. Now dig on the vocals. Fuck. Is this not the package? I mean, shit, how could you possibly improve it?
