One of my campers from this past summer introduced me to a band called The Hilltop Hoods, an Australian rap group. What was really amazing about this was the fact that my campers are 9 and 10 years old (man, they are growing up faster every year).
Anyway, one song onto which I was instantly hooked was "The Nosebleed Section" which is a great listen anyway, catchy lyrics and an even catchier song that they sample. I got a little curious, because I had never heard the song it was sampling but it was literally stuck in my head all day.
After a long search I found "People In The Front Row" by Melanie Safka. She sings with kind of Joni Mitchell lo-fi sound that I'm always drawn to. I hadn't heard of Safka before but instantly reconized her voice on the track "Brand New Key" which is also a jam, its actually a pretty innocent sounding song with some pretty sexually charged innuendos. Both are great, and, thanks to the majesty of the Intertubes, are posted below:
