Let's get tepid!

Sometimes, you just gotta smooth it out, yo...



Ah, Acid Jazz... ya know, it was what it was. A bit cheesy, a bit wimpy, a bit forgettable... and now it certainly sounds a bit dated. But if you're gonna take one group and say they represented the best of this maligned genre, it would have to be The Brand New Heavies, wouldn't it? With singer N'Dea Davenport, they churned out the biggest hits of the era... and hey, they're still playing today, something I don't think many other Acid Jazz acts can say, and that's gotta mean somethin', right? Right? Yeah, I know... Sugar Ray are still playing today, too, and so are Poison and Counting Crows, so suck on your theory, Tone. Touche...

The Brand New Heavies - Mind Trips (ysi)




That was pleasant enough, no? Oh well, I promise I'll bring you something positively up to it's ass in street cred tomorrow...
