The ocean floor
That calls from behind
Leaving you lost
Behind the door you'll find
A secret place
Where no one can find
Time is lost
To those who lie

Kabooki Jukebox – Big Back & Sweet Crack: The Harlem Heat
Original Soundtrack to the Blaxploitation Film That Never Was

From the vault of dreams and reels that never rolled comes Big Back & Sweet Crack – The Harlem Heat — the soundtrack to a film that was too raw, too righteous, and too real to ever hit the screen.

Kabooki Jukebox resurrects the soul cinema spirit with a funk-laced, smoke-drenched score that channels the storytelling swagger of Isaac Hayes and the conscious cool of Curtis Mayfield. Every track paints scenes of Harlem in full heat: velvet nightclubs, streetwise hustles, rooftop chases, and slow-burn seductions under sodium lights.

Though the film never existed, the music makes it real — a sonic screenplay built from groove, grit, and guts. Big Back & Sweet Crack isn’t just a soundtrack. It’s a universe imagined in wah-wah riffs, string-laced tension, and basslines with a blade in their boot.

This is Blaxploitation reanimated — not as pastiche, but as prophecy.

IT'S YOU THAT I ADORE
Pretty little plaything 
You walked into my door
Exactly like a hundred 
other playthings did before

You wanted to be noticed 
It's safe to say you were
Unlike the hundred other souls 
who for my love do burn

Of all the pretty creatures 
you're the one that I live for
There's no other way to say 
It's you that I adore

Transcendental beauty 
but made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Tell me that you feel it 
say that you’ll be mine
I’ll kneel before you on the floor
and beg a thousand times

Of all the perfect beings 
you're more perfect than the rest
There's no other way to say 
it's you that I love best

Transcendental beauty 
But made of flesh and bone
My heart is captivated 
and it’s yours and yours alone

Janine LevinsOn w/mOag - it's yOu that I adOre

Come back soon 
Darlin' come back, oh don't you see?
The place is empty, oh empty without you.
They say that heart is where the home is.
Come back soon

Come on home, ah, just show me 'sorry',
Won't ever say those things, all those bad things no more.
I'm tired of tough love, so please think it over!
Yeh, come back soon.

I want you home darlin', ‘cos life's no fun, no fun any more.
Our place feels empty now that you’ve gone.
The grey needs lifting, the shadows shifting.
Come home soon.

CliffOnAcid & Steph Sweet - One Second (Embodiment EP 2020)

"Diane, second song we completed in lockdown. Stoney's funny to watch when he's trying to decipher melodies over a cell phone through a video screen.

On this tune we were able to record D3 through the cell phone, but we had to wire it to an old telephone jack Stoney had from 1984. 

I think you could feel our pent up 'pent up' anger in this one.

I think the title from this came from Stoney being drunk one night at the pub before the lockdown saying to a drunk asshole that if he saw him on the street he would throw a car at him. Of course at the time, I was tripping on mushrooms and I had a completely different idea of what he was talking about. D3 would know EXACTLY what I'm talking about. Diane, it's refreshing to hear D3's energy again! 

Diane, I can't even lift a car right now. I'm leaving Paris and going to an undisclosed cabin location. Coop was right about the French woman. She can't make doughnuts.

*** I Could Throw A Car ***

I could just feel the cold steel
in my mitts
I could let go and crush your whole world
with one pitch

won't you answer me
with hypocrisy
won't you challenge me
rush to cure my needs

don't extinguish flames
just evade the scene
we all run the same
we all use our feet

I could just feel the cold steel
in my mitts
I could let go and crush your whole world
with one pitch
I could back out and calm the fuck down
flip the switch

won't you stare me down
as you wear that crown
won't you ruin me
because we don't agree

don't extinguish flames
just engulf the heat
we all burn the same
we all hurt SO deep

I could just feel the cold steel
in my mitts
I could let go and crush your whole world
with one pitch

won't you answer me
with hypocrisy
won't you challenge me
rush to cure my needs

don't extinguish flames
just evade the scene
we all run the same
we all use our feet

I Could Throw A Car

Remembering The 60s

"soliloquy"
手脂と指紋でくもる位牌哉
供花枯れてかさりこそりとひとりごと
父母死んでわれはかわらず食べて寝て

My parents’ mortuary tablets are dirty with my greasy hands and fingerprints.
Flowers discolor and murmur rustlingly.
My parents are dead, but I still eat and sleep every day.
