Roy Brooks
The Free Slave

Recorded live in Baltimore in 1970, the second album where Detroit-bred drummer Roy Brooks acts as leader is a steady burner of funky soul-jazz and percussion-forward excitement.

Post a non-religious photo you think of as holy
Iggy Pop crowd-walking on "Midsummer Rock" TV broadcast from Cincinnati Pop Festival on on June 13, 1970 at Crosley Field in Cincinnati, Ohio - later in the broadcast an audience member (rumoured to be future Dead Boys lead singer, Stiv Bators) passes the singer a jar of something - the TV announcer states: "That's peanut butter"

Just remembered this #Subhumans gem from their oft-forgotten 2nd LP 1983: let’s all watch while "America Commits Suicide"
