Song of the Day 4.27.20: "What Is Hip" - Tower of Power
Monday. Let's get rolling. Not a lot of exposition needed. Just Monday vibes: energy, movement, virtuosity distilled into only what's needed and nothing more, with some of the nastiest, most relentless sixteenth-note bass riffs ever recorded.
The drums are sick: a funk revelation when they were recorded in 1973 and still bad AF today. Watch Dave Garibaldi kill it live here if you want (need?) more.
It's April 27, 2020.
Don't lose yourself in the details. Somehow you know there's much more to the trip...
