Coming off the heels of 2022's A New Kind of Love, A Trip To The Moon sees GFO diving even deeper in the worlds of film music, exotica, and psychedelic surf rock. The aim is to create a layered and collaged listening experience with more elements than you could possibly pick out in a single listen. The guitars are fuzzy and flooded with spring reverb, and the horns are arranged in a studio big band fashion. It's full of big compositions with garage rock attitude. Influences range everywhere from Eddie Palmieri and Esquivel to The Lively Ones, Dusty Springfield, and War. tinyurl.com

The song was conceived because of backlash Public Enemy received for their 1987 debut single “Public Enemy No. 1.” Most notably, they seemed to be responding to a radio DJ named Mr. Magic for the station WBLS in their hometown of New York. After helping premiere the track on his show, Mr. Magic had nothing nice to say about Public Enemy’s coming out party of a song. “I was just asking the fellas, what’s the name of the record? ‘Public Enemy.’ Who’s it by? ‘Public Enemy.’ The beat is dope, but the rapping is kinda weak,” the DJ said on-air. “Let’s not go through that no more, it ruins the program… I guarantee you, no more music by the suckas.” Read the story behind this song: americansongwriter.com

Pink Floyd's The Wall went to No.1 on the US album charts, staying there for 4 weeks.

In 2017 Billboard ranked this song #2 in their list of 'top 50 Pink Floyd songs'. Like the last few songs on 'The Wall', this can be summarized as Hitler's rise into power and downfall into hell just as Pink's life did in the movie 'The Wall'. This isn't as detailed as "Waiting For the Worms", but it is a look into Hitler's terror. The entire theme is based on the dreaded Kristallnacht (Night of Broken Glass translated from German) on November 9th, 1938 which came during Hitler's order of terror. Nazis raided Jewish businesses and synagogues, places of recreation, even homes; throwing people out, destroying what they could. Many were killed and hundreds injured, and 7,500 business and 177 synagogues were destroyed. This is the terror that Pink in The Wall brought over citizens of his own kind. bit.ly -- Pink Floyd "Run Like Hell" from the 1994 concert at Earls Court, London, England: youtu.be

Shouting out Coxsone Dodd, born this day in 1932. He was a Jamaican record producer who was influential in the development of ska and reggae in the 1950s, 1960s and beyond. The Kingston-born Dodd used to play records to the customers in his parents' shop. During a spell in the American South he became familiar with the rhythm and blues music popular there at the time. In 1954, back in Jamaica, he set up the Downbeat Sound System, being the owner of an amplifier, a turntable, and some US records, which he would import from New Orleans and Miami. With the success of his sound system, and in a competitive environment, Dodd would make trips through the US looking for new tunes to attract the Jamaican public. While he did, his mother Doris Darlington would run the sound system and play the tunes. Dodd opened five different sound systems, each playing every night. To run his sound systems, Dodd appointed people such as Lee "Scratch" Perry, who was Dodd's right-hand man during his early career, U-Roy and Prince Buster. In 1959, he founded a record company called Worldisc. In 1963, he opened Studio One on Brentford Road, Kingston. It was the first black-owned recording studio in Jamaica. He held regular Sunday evening auditions in search of new talent, and it was here that Dodd auditioned Bob Marley, singing as a part of The Wailers. In the early 1960s, Dodd was producing ska hits by Toots and the Maytals, the Gaylads, and the Skatalites. Dodd's "You're Wondering Now", was initially recorded in 1964 by Andy & Joey in Jamaica and later covered by The Skatalites, The Specials and Amy Winehouse; it was also used as the theme tune for the British-French crime drama television series Death in Paradise.
