Perhaps the most intriguing musical development in the past week (outside Lee Perry's Grammys rumor: wowza) resides in the formation of promising combo, Global Warming. The power trio consists of Trevor Lynn (the Funk), Craig Osterbrock (the Rock) and Tyler Johnston (the Bongos), but in recent statements by impomptu band spokesman Lynn, the lineup will be fluid. The diversity of certain spectacular jam sessions in the future is only outmatched by the eclectic instrumentation the group is bringing to the forefront of modern music. Harmonica, ukelele, bongos...one can imagine the tribal brilliance that will arise, and once guest musicians arrive creative chaos will be unleashed. Although there is intense anticipation of what form the first songs Global Warming will appear as, there is little one can do but quote a Funkadelic classic, "good god, hit it and quit it."
