The GTO’s (Girls Together Outrageously) were a groupie-group who lived in Frank Zappa’s basement during the ‘60’s, they were the girlfriends of the Mothers of Invention.  Zappa encouraged their interest in making their own music and produced their album Permanent Damage in`69, with contributions from Lowell George, Jeff Beck and Davy Jones. All the girls went on to do different things, like marry Shuggie Otis, write a best selling memoir, marry John Cale, and become employed by the Walt Disney Corporation.  I’ve been playing this song all day long and the people in the apartment next door HATE ME FOR IT. But I dun care I luh it.

haha this is really cool

i once dj’d for a local mostly-chicano car show. i played a lot of songs like this. brown-eyed soul, chicano rap, music with maracas and horns…my latest mix:

FIRME TRACKS VOL. 5

100% firme, guaranteed

a new mix over at my music blog: billy preston, tina turner, ray charles, joe cocker, nina simone, carla thomas, irma thomas, and a few others…!

i have a lot of music on the backburner for other mixes, including a new volume of firme tracks, and another one that ties azealia banks to wanda jackson and 80s funk. so stay tuned
