Eventually discharged from the Air Force for being uncooperative and "evidencing a dislike for the service", Marvin Gaye went so far as to fake mental illness in his efforts to escape the mid-century war machine he'd so gracefully speak out against with his first post- Tammi Terrell output in 1971. Jokes to be made about the Gaye family and mental illness aside, it's a telling rebellion from artist in restless youth, one that first came to mind upon hearing the song featured in today's post.
"Get It On In My Mind" is an exhilarating meeting of mental illness (by way of a Fight Club enshrined Pixies single) and the universally acknowledged Greatest Fuck Jam Ever Written™, brought to you by French mash warrior DJ Zebra. With a percussive assist from Lee Dorsey, the track is once soaring and wounded- everything that a good, stormy love is heir to. Ups.
