THE WEEKEND STARTS HERE...

...with the wicked, wicked WILSON PICKETT, live from Germany, circa 1968. This disappeared from the Tube, but I've managed to find almost all of it reposted there or elsewhere.  His band warms up the crowd with the instrumental "Soulfinger," but Pickett electrifies from the moment he enters for "Everybody Needs Somebody" and doesn't let up through "Ninety-Nine and a Half (Won't Do)," "Mustang Sally" and "Stagger Lee," and "Funky Broadway," during which people dancing in front of the stage start turning up o­nstage (And why not? This rawks almost as hard as The Who's cover of "Shakin' All Over").  The tumultuous finale of "Land of 1000 Dances" from amid the crowd remains missing, but this other "Land of 1000 Dances" from 1966 is almost as wild, and in color to boot. Raw and riveting; if this can't put you in a weekend state of mind, probably nothing can.

DEHD plays WFUV.

MAKING MOVIES plays KEXP.

JULIEN BAKER shares "Guthrie."

VOXTROT shares "Fifteen Minutes."

KHRUANGBIN covers Booker T & The M.G.’s “Green Onions" as electronica.

MANNY CHARLTON, founding guitarist for Scottish hard-rock figureheads Nazareth, is dead at 80.

 

JAMES CAAN,  who built a durable film career in varied roles across six decades but was forever identified most closely with one of his earliest characters, the quick-tempered, skirt-chasing Sonny Corleone in the original “Godfather” movie, died on Wednesday. He was 82.Earlier this year, he and others spoke to Variety about the 50th anniversary of "The Godfather."  And here's a remembrance from Owen Glieberman.  And here's a Top 10 list.
