I'm sort of looking forward to my late middle age.
A lot of people say to me, "Tom, how come you know so much about TONETTA777? Where do you find out about all these great TONETTA777 songs? How do you filter through the prodigious TONETTA777 output to consistently find the sharpest anthemic TONETTA777 tunes?"
Well darling, arranging yr search results by date will only take you so far, what you really need is a word from the wise. You need a leg-up from a member of the Tonetta community, someone whose stuck with the man long enough to develop an eye that sees past the veneer of oil, dress-up box, wrist-flicking click & scatology, beyond the comfortable setting and through to the core the man is unveiling, the gender politics, the ex-lovers, the curiosities of the world & the scatology.
Fortunately for me, and now for you, HERE is a tumblr dedicated to working through notable items from the Canadian youtube-savant's catalogue in detail, identifying and following the key threads, unpacking the motivation. Explanation is most definitely required. We are in an era where previously unheard ppl are not just emerging but blossoming in online semi-anonymous fame. Tonetta has an album coming out this year, which is great, but feels almost like an afterthought. The man has already found his ideal medium.
He's like a Tom Waits w/ balls enough to be honest&upfront and funk instead of schmaltz. So much funk.
