To elaborate on my She Wants Revenge U&C, here’s a link to the video for Justin Warfield’s “K Sera Sera,” one of the doper tracks on his fanfuckintastic My Field Trip to Planet 9:

Unfortunately, the audio is awful, but you get the feel for Warfield’s scuzzy, psychedelic-soul vibe (with beats provided here by Prince Paul) and his smooth-as-butta flow.

For full contrast/disclosure, here’s the video for Warfield’s first underground hit, “Season of the Vic”:

Yeah, those are dreads and a suede vest—a looong way from the demented gothster look he’s got going now. He was a 20-year-old beatnik living in Berkeley at the time.

Warfield’s biggest break—before She Wants Revenge—was recording “Bug Powder Dust” with Bomb the Bass, a song steeped in drugged-out William Burroughs imagery. It got a legendary remix treatment by Kruder & Dorfmeister on their G Stoned in 1995, as deeply funky and spaced-out as any downtempo from that era. I heard the track—in all its seven-minute, lysergic glory—all over Amsterdam when I spent a week there in 1997. Hearing it now totally brings me back:

Yeah, Justin Warfield was the shit. She Wants Revenge, not so much.
