speaking of punks...

...i dug out this reissue double lp out of my little collection...

konk, a ny band from the early 80s...weren´t a punk band...much more they were the link between the post punk/ punk funk scene and the disco scene of ny these days...

and thats what they sound like...check it:
konk - machina jam from"the sound of konk" 2004 reissue on souljazz records!

the fleetwood mac...

...again...i always come back to post songs by this great band and their members´ solo work...

here´s one song, that first appeared as a single, later released on the 1969 album "the pious bird of good golem", written by peter green:

black magic woman

yes, the song that became a hit, interpreted by carlos santana in 1970. i cant decide on which one i prefer...although santana is definetly the better guitar-player...have a listen...
