Patto - Government Man

Taken from their first LP, which was produced by Steve Winwood's older brother, Muff. Pay special attention to the outro, around 3:48. Makes all that antidisestablishmentarianist belly-aching worth while.

An-I - Kino-I

Mind bending techno from our old buddy Doug Lee AKA Lee Douglas, AKA An-I. Apparently this is a fan video, but it's almost too perfect a match.

Rik Mayall (3/7/58 - 6/9/14)

Richard Michael Mayall, better known as Rik, was a brilliant English comedian who had a long and storied career. We knew and loved him best as the self proclaimed anarchist Rick on The Young Ones, however. Here he is in our favorite scene.

Asha Puthli & Goblin - The Sound of Money

Holy Shit! That's been GOBLIN backing up Asha Puthli all this time?! How small is this weird world of ours?

Bob & Marcia - Young, Gifted, & Black

In many ways, the superior version (in our humble -- but correct-- opinion).

Nina Simone - Young, Gifted, & Black

Here's an interview from 1969 about the inspiration for the iconic song she wrote with her then musical director, one Weldon Irvine, followed by a live recording session done at Morehouse College that June.

Nina Simone - See Line Woman

This isn't necessarily the summery-est of songs, but come on! It's finally June!
