Log #30: the Olympians (their music and what it does to me)

Hello there today we are talking about the Olympians and there music!   I started to listen to their music when I also started to listen to the 40 minutes of funk podcast, though this was the first time for both, I was listening to the 40 minutes with Micheal B when I wanted to learn more about a favourite band (no not the insane clown posse I mean ‘here come the mummies’). And I was also directed to the Olympians after listening about the mummies.   As you might now that the mummies are coming to Ottawa Bluesfest this year in July so I like to learn about then history of the band (what I am an intellectual so I love learning) and I came across the Olympians episode and holy shit!  This is quality music!    It is disco funk music though I used to listen to this type of music as a  little kid other then the insane clown posse, i listened to funk.  And let me tell you this is rather reminding me of the good old days were I would travel with my parents and listen to disco at the resort!  That being said I love this groovy funk music the best.   Now I was suffering from a bout of insomnia when I heard ‘strawberry kiwi’ and some other songs on 40 Minutes of funk podcast and I was able to time travel back to the good parts of my childhood!   And when it was time  to go to bed I started to listen to ‘strawberry kiwi’ and then it happened, I relaxed so much that i feel into a deep sleep that was restful though the next day I started to feel the after effects of the sleep deprivation.     But I listened to the Olympians again last night and I must say that I am kitten today and not aggro at all!

That being said they release their music in 10 year increments which is rather annoying though I would not want to disappoint fans with crappy thoughtless music that some people love to pump out though they take a hot minute to release their music it is well worth the wait!   I never heard such great instrumentals since classical music in elementary school, though I never really loved classical music, though I love funk music (disco, etc) and it’s detail that people put in for the tunes you would listen to.   They are actually a good band and I would literally recommend the Olympians to anyone who would actually listen to the band and my ramblings!

In search of a revival was just released this year, and I must say the sound is rather revolutionary and great to hear, which is ironic as this is the year of the fire horse which means revolutionary stuff happens!   Though most of their songs revolve around Greek mythology and roman mythology it is rather weath listening to and even learning about the myths too!   Though there last album was released on 2016, do you see a funky trend here?   I think if you want quality music that is the Olympians then you music wait for the great stuff!

Personally I can’t wait to see if they will come to the Ottawa Bluesfest one year!  That being said  would you want to hear them at Bluesfest too?  Just think about it! Also the music reminds me of a pre-9/11 airport, the kind I was growing up with, this music really reminds me of a lost time.  Thank you you bringing me back to the positive parts of my childhood Toby and the Olympians!
