🇬🇧 David Bowie "John, I'm Only Dancing (Again) - 1972/1975
Day #6 - a song that makes you want to dance.
A lot of Bowie’s songs do. Not that I'm very good at it... 😄

For this "Funky Music" party on Jukebox Friday Night, I put up some Bad Brains. Here we go through the funky junction to make our connection –
Faith No More, "Falling to Pieces" (1990)
A "Funky Music" party on Jukebox Friday Night, and I'm going to risk what a lot people think of as a punk-reggae band with bad politics. But, these guys influenced a lot of the funk-rock sounds that came later.
Bad Brains, "She's Calling You" (1986)
From "I Against I", when the band moved from a punk-rock style to a lo-fi mash-up of reggae, funk, soul, and heavy metal.
You'll need Max Volume to get over the poor recording values.

🇬🇧 David Bowie "Let's Dance" - 1983
Day #3 A song that reminds you of summetime.
This reminds me of the first Bowie concert I ever went to on a hot summer's day, 1983, in Gothenburg, Sweden. Also this was the dance floor hit of both spring and summer that year...

Sadistic Mika Band (サディスティック・ミカ・バンド) – Black Ship (黒船) (1974, Japan)
Our next spotlight is on number 84 on The List, submitted by avi_miller. Black Ship (or Kurofune) is Sadistic Mika Band’s second LP, regarded as an influential album in Japanese rock history. The cover art plus the fact that this band’s name is a parody of “Plastic Ono Band” – “sadistic” a reference to how Mika used knives in the kitchen – tells you exactly what this album is going to sound like. It’s quirky, it’s breezy, it’s delightful. The band would break up after the following album but would go on to do more wonderful things (Yellow Magic Orchestra, anyone?), so this is a lovely rabbit hole to go down.

Sadistic Mika Band (サディスティック・ミカ・バンド) – Black Ship (黒船) (1974, Japan)
Our next spotlight is on number 84 on The List, submitted by avi_miller.
Black Ship (黒船, or Kurofune) is Sadistic Mika Band’s second LP, their line-up at the time consisting of married couple Mika (vocals) and Kazuhiko Katō (guitar and vocals) with Yukihiro Takahashi (drums), Masayoshi Takanaka (lead guitar), Ray Ohara (bass), and Yu Imai (keyboard). The album was produced by Chris Thomas, who at this point had already worked with the Beatles, Roxy Music, Pink Floyd, and Badfinger.
I feel like the cover art plus the fact that this band’s name is a parody of “Plastic Ono Band” – with “sadistic” a reference to how Mika used knives in the kitchen – tells you exactly what Black Ship is going to sound like. It’s quirky, it’s breezy, it’s delightful. And I’m not certain if Black Ship was intended as a statement or concept album, but the title at least seems symbolic, referring to the Perry Expedition or “Arrival of the Black Ships” in the 1850s that essentially forced Japan to open up to trade with the West and resulted in “Japonisme” or the influence of Japanese art/design on Western art. While Black Ship sold poorly when it was first released, it has since been regarded as an influential album in Japanese rock history. With the release of the band’s next album, Hot! Menu (1975), Sadistic Mika Band toured with Roxy Music, becoming the first Japanese rock band to tour the UK.
Upon release of Hot! Menu (another Thomas-produced album), the band broke up, essentially due to the end of the Katōs’ marriage. The band members would all continue to go on making music together, solo, or in other bands, and in various genres – including the jazz-rock/fusion focused The Sadistics, Kazuhiko’s solo ska and experimental work, and, of course, Takahashi’s synth-pop trio with Haruomi Hosono and Ryuichi Sakamoto, Yellow Magic Orchestra. In other words: rabbit hole time.
Happy listening.
