This album fueled a coke laden night 20 years ago when I was young and foolish. I'm older and foolish now.

Two planets are talking:
- How are you?
- Ah, don't ask, I've got a disease, Homo Sapiens.
- Don't worry, it'll go away quickly.
What a fantastic arrangement. That organ is all of it! Up to 10 from 9 for me.

I started listening to these guys around 1998. I went to a show thinking I would dress kinda nice - it was at a nice theater and I was thinking "jazz" type mature crowd? Got there and there were hippies everywhere! I mean, that's great - I've got some hippie in me - but I was so thrown off. That fusion is amazing and am glad to hear them again here on RP.




Cool story.  That is why we come here.  GREAT TUNE!!   Thanx RP!

RP introduced me to them.  Now I have 8 of their tunes on "My Favorites"  list. That is why we come here.  M, M, & W are also known for using many different types of early electronic keyboards.  Thanx RP!

From the shot, yes.

Jelgator speaks the truth - thank you!!  I am sick and tired of being ostracized by the masses of folks who sadly were duped into believing what the talking heads and governments have been saying over the last 3+ years.  

Thankfully, there are still courageous groups of humans battling against this scary shit; case in point is this EU news which you will NEVER see in the mainstream media (i.e. the "brought to you by Pfizer" crooks) - this really has been a tremendous scam against humanity.    And no, I am not your enemy, I am the enemy of liars and scammers, not victims of the liars and scammers.  

Long Live the real scientists of the world and short live the big pharma phucks.

Not going well for the Medical "Experts" now, is it? Reductions in deaths up to 75% or more in places (shockingly if you pay more for someone to have died from something, a lot of not even closely related deaths get attributed to that money maker, like the Drug Overdose I know of, but those counties in Cali and places in Italy don't seem to be returning the money), and the "vaccine" isn't really one, and doesn't protect much and they've ignored that it has mutated to a middling to mild cold with a bit more fever and body pain (my personal experience by the by. I had it in Feb) but lets vaccinate the one group who hardly got sick, and shows the highest number of medical emergencies to the crappy vaccines they are pushing to the point of being at higher risk from that. But hay, stop the spread . . . but it doesn't, so get a booster or 2, or 3 . . .
So crappy one CEO of the makers apparently took Saline Solution instead, in his shot. Meanwhile the places that didn't play those games are doing better than the places that went full on panic. Numerous people who been poked and boosted multiple times keep getting the thing. 
All this has done is make more people likely to ignore the Medical Professionals when we might actually need to. That's what happens when they lie to you and silence those trying to be a voice of reason, because "Science!™"

Deaths from the flu virus direct burden are about 3,000 a year in the US? Contrast that with 600,000 from this pandemic (in JUST the US) Do the math yourself


Drug overdose, suicide, gunshot wound, motorcycle accident, cancer, bacterial pneumonia, non-bacterial pneumonia, heart failure, COPD complications, auto accident, and many more are all being called "Covid Deaths". The math is corrupted because the numbers are fudged . . . how many places have reduced their numbers by up to 25% (two counties in Cali for sure) and those are just the ones someone is willing to admit. Pay more for a WuFlu death and everything becomes a wuflu death. It is still a 99.9+% survivable rate disease and that is low because of refusal to use certain treatments because the wrong sorts said they might work. Granted so many positives were also not actual positives, one could argue the survival rate is closer to 99% then 99.9% but that requires a ton of correct testing and we can't expect that, now can we?

How many non-SARS2 flu deaths last year?
As a Flu, it is slightly worse than the 2009 pandemic that was ignored (lost family in that one btw) but most of the numbers are driven by doing exactly the wrong things. Like sticking sick people into large groups of those of highest susceptibility, testing in manners that nearly guarantee a positive result (Note the CDC changed the testing within minutes of Inauguration) and driving number up by claiming things like motorcycle accidents and gun shots were related deaths. 
Overall one only has a 99.5% chance of survival and that uses the inflated numbers, as well, Probably higher.

[edit] Oh I will say that with the tossing of old folks into homes while infected, this is probably a bit more severe than this season's flu, especially for those likely to be most affected by said flu, but much of the problem is, instead of protecting the vulnerable populations, too many places put them at higher risk

 July 27th and it still has a way to go to beat a bad flu season if one believes CDC numbers for deaths from F&P (though sticking the infected into assisted living homes does drive up death rates nicely, if that's the goal), and we need to weed the "Dead from motorcycle crash" and "What was it? We don't know, might have been the Flu, but we get three times the money if we say COVID." out from actual deaths.  Still an overblown reaction and in most cases a "How NOT to" manual.
And hey, go back to when Trump first mentions it, you get all sorts stories on how he was overreacting and blowing it out of proportion.  Usually from the same folks who now claim he should have done more sooner. How much damage has demonizing HCQ done just to spite a political rival?
99.4% survival rate at worst (using the faulty totals) so far, and that number is more likely closer to 99.8 with so far over 40% of infected not showing a symptoms. If folks hadn't been stupid, this would be a blip.

Mediski was just here for GMF with his new band The Word. Robert Randolph on slide guitar. Had the crowd dancing.
November 5, 2019: Just heard an NPR story about mellotrons, and it included Mr Medeski as a principal source.

Dropped this one down from 6 to 5. It's very clearly 2 minutes too long.
...and I feel fine.
So that's the World Party finished. Did anyone clear up. 
Heard it now a couple of times. Giving it a 10 because it deserves it.
 Nice play off of the Private Revolution tune. Bill; do you know the band Mushroom? From a few miles East of S.F.. They did a version of Compred to What with a English singer that kicks it.
Weeeee! Finally the party has begun!
I'll give it 9 just for the title.
thats groovy
I'm so glad RP turned me onto them...and even gladder that I got to see them live in Tokyo! Wicked Hammond, spooky bass, kickass drums — JAM!
I love a good world party.
I always hate it when they end.

Fun song! 
Mod and Funky!

Hello RP-Listeners!

I wish all of you "MERRY CHRISTMAS",
wherever you are - whoever you wanna be!

Christmas is a sweet-naive tradition -
not a religious event! 

I like it anyway!

Still - I hope Bill takes the chance
to rock the christmas-tree to pieces tonight!

Could they possibly sound more retro?
Never cared much for this group or at least this CD. To me the music sounds as dystopian as the playground on the cover looks.

Wow! Well correlated with «Morphine» this track.
