pointless pooptoot anecdote!
I love what I’ve heard of Thelonious Monk’s work, but I didn’t have/hadn’t previously played his “Brilliant Corners” album.
I do have RHCP’s “Out in LA” album and one track I play a lot for probably obvious cranky reasons is “FU,” which turns out to be Monk’s “Bemsha Swing.”
So I’m trying out the original instrumental, which btw is great, and my mind fills in RHCP’s lyrics.
