 Artist: Blowfly: mp3 download Genre(s): Rock Other Dance Rap: Hip-Hop Discography:  Blowfly's Punk Rock Party Year: 2006 Tracks: 25  Oldies But Goldies Year: 1994 Tracks: 25  X-Rated Year: 1993 Tracks: 12  Electronic Banana Year: 1984 Tracks: 8  Blowfly Party Year: 1980 Tracks: 8 Blowfly is the X-rated castrate self-importance of Clarence Reid, a songwriter/producer wHO had quite a smear of winner under his own constitute in the '70s, penning and producing hits for Gwen MacRae, KC & the Sunshine Band, Betty Wright, and others plot of ground on the staff at the star Florida disco music judge of the earned run average, TK Records. It's as Blowfly that Reid is c. H. Best remembered in certain circles, though. The Redd Foxx of the Southern person circuit, Blowfly specializes in filthy parodies of current soul and pop hits; his over two dozen albums, nigh all of them recorded live in the studio apartment with the ambience of a liquor-fueled all-night party, ar an entertaining intermixture of lubricating oil and brain that's neither overly dirty to be rum nor also refined to be unsportsmanlike. Innate in Cochran, GA, on Valentine's Day, 1946, Reid got his moniker in the early '60s when his granny caught the adolescent telling dirty lyrics to a popular hit and announced that her grandchild was "nastier than a blow fly." Reid touched to the more dirty-word-friendly climes of Miami in the mid-'60s and hooked up with producer and label owner Henry Stone. Under his have mention, Reid released several satisfying albums of straight R&B, and had several graph singles, starting with 1969's Top Ten soul strike "Cipher only You Babe," for Stone's Alston and TK imprints. Thomas Reid never lost his knack for filthying up Top 40 hits, though, and after a few age of acting his parodies for friends and co-workers, Reid resurrected his puerile nickname and went in the studio after hours with some studio musician buddies in 1970 and recorded Blowfly's debut album, The Weird World of Blowfly. Of course, Stone's labels couldn't touch the results, so Reid pressed the album on his have Weird World imprint, caparison it in a bizarre homemade-looking sleeve featuring Reid standing on a trash can in a comically hideous monster mask, a couple of homemade wings, a grim sweater with "BF" printed on it in yellow-bellied and a geminate of tighty-whiteys and knee socks, keeping a condom volaille in one hand and clawing at 2 large-Afro'ed nude person women kneel before him. A unearthly world indeed. Sold on the same semi-underground circuit that traded in Rudy Ray Moore's Dolemite albums and former cultural oddities, the Blowfly records were massively popular. Although it was an open hidden from the beginning that Blowfly was Clarence Reid, Reid always appeared in some sort of elaborate and/or strange costume on the record sleeves. His reticence to be publicly identified as Blowfly stemmed not only from his religious upbringing--despite his dirty mouth, Reid is a dear Christian world Health Organization forswears spirits and cigarettes and has worked as a minister--but from the deplorable prosecution that Reid's latter-day buddies 2 Live Crew establish out about the hard manner. Stores possess been prosecuted for carrying Blowfly albums in some communities, and Reid was sued by the then-president of ASCAP, Stanley Adams, after Blowfly parodied Adams' malarky monetary standard "What a Difference a Day Makes" as "What a Difference a Lay Makes." Reid released Blowfly records under a variety of pronounce name calling through the '70s, '80s, and '90s, collaborating with like-minded common people like 2 Live Crew and even Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Blowfly is enough of a cultural icon that he even recorded his have holiday single in the mid-'70s. Of course, the songs were called "Doggerel verse Fuckin' Bells" and "Peril for the New Year," but this is Blowfly we're talk around here, not Bing Crosby. Blowfly as well starred in the low-budget objective The Twisted World of Blowfly in 1991, and several of his albums were reissued on CD through the '90s, capped by The Best of Blowfly: Analthology in 1996. |

The Verve - No Mud At Glastonbury As Festivalgoers Arrive
The sky is grey over Glastonbury, but it is smoke rather than cloud which is blighting festivalgoers' view of the sun.
A blaze at a nearby scrapyard has sent a large plume of smoke into the sky close to the site.
Festivalgoers, arriving to otherwise good weather in Somerset, have not been told to leave although the BBC reports several roads have had to be closed.
Weather for this year's festival is expected to deteriorate as the weekend progresses, but for now at least there is little of the mud which has become a key part of the Glastonbury experience in recent years.
That mud, combined with controversy over some of the main acts, is blamed for the festival not selling out for the first time in years. Around 800 tickets remain unsold.
Tomorrow night's headliners include The Verve, Jay-Z and Kings of Leon.

Country group Alabama sues drummer for $200K
The drummer for the country group Alabama has been sued by his fellow band members, who say he was overpaid $202,670.
The lawsuit filed May 9 in the Circuit Court of DeKalb County, Ala., claims that in 2003 Mark Herndon was paid for his share of net merchandise sales during the band's "American Farewell Tour" before a final accounting was done.
The final accounting, the suit claims, found that "there were no net merchandise revenues as defined by the contract."
The lawsuit seeks to recover the money.
The four members of Alabama - Teddy Gentry, Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Herndon - have not performed together live since the 2003 farewell tour. Band members did gather Saturday for the unveiling of a group of bronze statues in their honor in Fort Payne, Ala.
The lawsuit, which names The Group Alabama Inc. as the plaintiff, also states that Herndon has demanded a payment of $65,047 which represents his share of an advance against anticipated sales of the "The Last Stand" CD, which was recorded live during the farewell tour and is being sold by Cracker Barrel restaurants.
Alabama contends in the lawsuit that this amount and Herndon's share of any future earnings should be withheld until the full amount Herndon was overpaid for merchandise sales is repaid.
Attorney Robert G. Wilson, who filed the lawsuit, said he could not comment.
Members of the band and Herndon's attorney were not immediately available for comment.
Alabama was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2005. Their hits include "Tennessee River," "The Closer You Get" and "Song of the South."
