The Real New Orleans Bounce Compilation

|June 8, 2009 | Found Sounds, New Orleans Music

I’ll spare you a scholarly explanation of bounce rap — suffice to say that it is / was a totally organic, specific, 100% New Orleans kind of hip hop that flourished, totally under the national radar, in the 1990s. These tracks are from an old cassette called, ” Down South : The Real New Orleans Compilation “.

Holy cow. This sounds like Edith Piaf, but with a wicked tuned-down fuzz guitar … from an LP I found in a junk shop in Florida this past weekend — scratched and wretched, but a solid value at 2 bucks.

Francoise Hardy : ” Je N’attends Plus Personne “

Odoms’ ” Let Me Atom ” CD is out — which was mostly produced by Odoms and Ballzack ( who has fans ) on a laptop, but I did a couple of the songs, including this one :

Odoms : ” Human Is A Smart Thing “

Odoms : ” Human Is A Smart Thing ”

This track is an example of what I call my ” Silver Surfer ” style, where I form a mental image of the Silver Surfer breakdancing, and then try to imagine what the music being played would sound like. You can see the video for            ” Keeping Up With The Jetsons “, which is my favorite song on the album, here.
