"More Blood!"

that's what my friend from Oslo kept saying once he heard Blood Ulmer years ago - that was "America, Do You Remember the Love?"

we've been entranced with Blood since '82, and though his music has been "hard to find" in Amerika - well as with Nina Hagen (previous post) the 'net seems to facilitate a growing appreciation of his unique work

you can find numerous stellar videos on YT
some of the kewlest stuff has been uploaded by ARSMAC1 :
Pleasure Control on Italian TV, 1987, wow!
Rush Hour, at the Dance-a-teria (!) 1980, featuring David Murray
Street Bride, on the street in Toronto, 1993. love those b&w boots he always wore ;)
A Thing for Joe, with the New Art Jazz quartet at Birdland, 2001
Timeless, Berlin 1998 - the great trio with Jamaladeen Tacuma and the *ultimate drummer* Grant Calvin Weston

also note that the site's Link list is extremely valuable: it seems like these must be the best music blogs on the web. if you've ever tried to use somebody's link list...you'll appreciate bumkuncha's curatorship. all are live, active sites sharing education and beautiful vibrations. actually the link list alone would make Pathway a jewel.

ok i'll tease you with the list but you have to visit the site for the links...
