Rococo Davenport's Gameday Soundtrack

I've been thinking about throwing this up as an idea for a weekly segment for a minute now*, but for some reason I haven't got around to it yet. This late kickoff (11 pm 'round these parts) seems an appropriate time.

As a record collector, there are few things I enjoy more than sharing and discussing music with people (discussing Dolphins, for one), so I'd love to post zshare links to the songs, but thought I'd check in with Matty first in case he's uncomfortable with that.

Occasionally the tracks will be classics, often times obscure, and other times regrettably cheesy, whether intentional or not.

Let's kick things off with beaming pride, dropping the needle in tribute to the path towards a once far too distant Superbowl berth these young Miami Dolphins are just beginning to pave.

Tunnel Music: Menahan Street Band - Make The Road By Walking

...off their great 2008 album of the same name. The Brooklyn band is part of an awesome music collective that also includes the groups: The Dap Kings, El Michels Affair, Antibalas and The Budos Band. If you're into classic soul, funk or afrobeat, these dudes are ridiculous. This particular ditty might sound familiar to the hipper Phinsiders among us, sampled by Diddy's Hitmen production team on Rolling Stone's single of the year in 2007, Jay-Z's 'Roc Boys (And The Winner Is) off the 'American Gangster' soundtrack.

Watching this team make their road is a joy to behold.

Weather Forecast: Chet Atkins - Windy And Warm

Finger pickin' legend. 'nuff said.

Fictional Previous Entry: Malcom McLaren - Buffalo Girls

Classic drum break. Classic Bills metaphor. Sampled twice on Public Enemy's seminal 1990 album 'Fear of a Black Planet'. If these mini write-ups are tedious, please let me know.

Ode To A Certain Amphibious Poster: Hall & Oates - Adult Education

Shouts to the daily crew, who held down the spot with a breathlessly effective combination of piercing wit and unabashed immatureness, reminding us all that these are the only two things one needs to survive on a sports messageboard.

Underlying Theme for the Season: Ratatat - Wildcat

Complete with driving bassline and wildcat roars. Like, seriously, a wildcat roaring.

 

Go Dolphins.

 

*according to my iTunes, my music nerd self now has 34.7 days of music on my laptop. Figured it was time I put it to some use.

Since nobody else is responding

I think it’s a great idea. As long as zshare links are legal, that is.. I think Matty might frown upon criminal activity lol
