Food (The Beat Buffet)
http://soundcloud.com/crooksandgrannies/ep-13-food-beat-buffet/download
It is surprising how similar music and food are. Both satisfy our hunger for nourishment, albeit in different ways. It could be said that hunger satiates pangs of a physical emptiness while as music enriches and fills out feelings of spiritual yearning. Although on the counter argument, music can inspire the body to get down just as easily as food can make your soul float up (or root down) to celestial heavens.
So for this episode, the Sanguine fam decided to pay tribute to the wonderfully delicious sounds of food inspired jams. We jump it all off discussing the spreading phenomenon across San Francisco of food carts, serving up reasonably priced pastries and curry dishes and so much more for local denizens of the Mission district. Seduced by the sound of such tasty cakes, Aisha scouts out the creme brulee cart and brings back some patrons to get personal with their love for the cuisine revolution on the streets.
Honey Knuckles and myself (Z-Note) cook up a five-course meal made of the finest sonic ingredients. I’m telling you, this shit is fresh. Enjoy Idris Muhammed‘s thick bodied funk and DOOM‘s pure love for sustenance and the Fat Boys tell you what’s really good with “all you can eat” buffets and Fela Kuti take us back to the liquid source of all life. Shelmatic pulls the whole meal together with the instrumental soundtrack of Goodie Mob‘s classic “Soul Food” sound odyssey.
The food frequency resonates with some monster jams to satiate your eardrum hunger. I admit a good number of them conjure up rich libido imagery, from jams bursting ripe with sexual innuendo (Cameo‘s “Candy” anyone?), or others dripping steady with juicy rhythms and thumping slick bodied grooves; but there’s also straight forwards odes to the simple joy of good eats. After all, food goes pretty far in its metaphorical prowess. I recommend filling up on this sound spectrum to some soul food, whatever those two words might mean to you!
