Was thrilled to see Deep Covers 3 surface last week over at Soul Sides, the fantastic deep funk and soul blog from Oliver Wang. If you're not hip to the first two installments, the collection features rare soul, funk, Latin and jazz covers of classic tracks from the likes of The Beatles, Jackson 5, (Ear [...] • Facebook • Twitter • Delicious • Digg • StumbleUpon • Add to favorites • Email • RSS
With a documentary, feature film appearance and new album with the Rumour all looming, 2012 is shaping up as a redemption year for the under appreciated Graham Parker. We thought we would get a jump on the action with a sample of covers spanning Graham's career.

The Chef fait encore surface à quelques jours avant la sortie de Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang . Un nouveau titre à s'écouter depuis aujourd'hui "Molasses" accompagné de ses potes Ghostface Killah et Rick Ross . "Molasses" nous confirme que Raekwon et sa clique ont toujours le flow impeccable et la syllabe qui frappe. Le morceau utilise comme sample principal " Troubles, Heartaches And Sadness " de la chanteuse soul Ann Peebles . Un classique de la soul musique maintes fois samplé par le Wu-Tang dont GZA [...]
Download audio file (03-Santa-Claus-Go-Straight-To -The-Ghetto.mp3) I'm going to be honest with you kids, Christmas isn't really one of my favorite holidays. Outside of the whole family aspect (and Jesus. GP are ya wit me!) I could really do without it. But unlike the cover art may suggest (props to the big homie NO for coming correct btw) this comp is not a Bah-Humbug-a-thon. It's actually a dedication comp. For December 25, 2010 marks the fourth anniversary of the passing of one of the most influential figures in modern day music - and one of my absolute favorite [...]
SPOOK HILL :: SEPTEMBER MIXTAPE :: BOY ATTRACTIONS Walker and I have had this one in the works for a while. We decided a month or so ago (after our last mixtape) that we wanted to try something a bit different from our usual mixes. We settled on the idea of compiling our favorite songs recorded before 2000 that were relatively unknown or obscure (or at least if the artist was relatively known, one of their hidden gems). That was really the only restriction. Interestingly enough, there was a clear divide in the years [...]
Photo: Brian Ferry Then, the field of vision assumes a peculiar structure. In the center there is the favored object, fixed by our gaze; its form seems clear, perfectly defined in all its details. Around the object, as far as the limits of the field of vision, there is a zone we do not look at, but which, nevertheless, we see with an indirect, vague, inattentive vision. If it is not something to which we are accustomed, we cannot say what it is, exactly, that we [...]
"May this fire in my soul, dear, forever burn..." Presenting a lovely soul six pack, dedicated to the one I love. Today´s her birthday, you see...

Before I even did a mix dedicated to delta blues , I was determined to do a mix of vintage soul. At the time I was obsessed with the Numero Group 's Eccentric Soul series (I still am), and it the first pass I took at doing a soul mix was too single-sourced to merit posting. My knowledge of soul is ever expanding from a number of sources - hip-hop samples , Mississippi Records' tape series , and good old self-motivated research - so it was just a matter of time [...]
Last Friday, I was invited down to New York for an official listening session for Cyndi Lauper 's upcoming album, Memphis Blues . The showcase was held at Downtown Records in Manhattan, Cyndi's new label (and home to such acts as the Scissor Sisters , Amanda Blank , and Miike Snow ). "The people here reminded me of the old days...it wasn't just business as usual," she'd explain to us later during the listening session of her choice to do this album under this label. About ten minutes prior to the [...]
"You think you've got it all set up, you think you've got the perfect plan..." Two sides of the same soul coin. It doesn´t really matter if Earl Randle´s classic composition is given the treatment by Memphis southern soul diva Ann Peebles in ´73, or by London pubrocker Graham Parker in ´77. Both soulful versions are guaranteed to leave you in the dust, wondering what the hell just happened. "What you´re gonna do when you look up one day, and see your [...]
I think today's entry speaks for itself. Ann Peeble s ' classic I Can't Stand The Rain gets a hardhitting retro-funk workout courtesy of the UK's Tito Lopez Combo . I don't know about you (or where you live) but ' [...]
Ann Peebles : Beware [ purchase ] "You better beware of the dog that brings the bone, she´s only trying to break up your home..." This one´s dedicated to the great Willie Mitchell of Hi Records fame, who passed away last week at 82. Only one out of countless southern soul gems that Mitchell had a producing hand in, [...]
The transition from novel to cinema is quite a tricky one. While some argue that "the book is forever better than the movie," certain exceptions have been made. The most famous cases that can be argued in defense of their cinematic counterparts include Steven Spielberg's 1975 thriller Jaws (written by Peter Benchley) and Francis Ford Coppola's crime 1973-74 masterpieces The Godfather trilogy (based on the novel by Mario Puzo). With that being said however, the brilliant Irish author Roddy Doyle's Barrytown trilogy is another dazzling series of stories that at first seem incredibly [...]
With the exception of late 80s and 90's Hip Hop I'm pretty much either completely vintage or contemporary in terms of the kind of music I listen to, there's not much inbetween. With that said I thought I would bring both of those worlds together for today's post. I have a thousands of songs I could do this with but I chose Can't Stand the Rain for a few reasons. For one, the original by Ann Peebles is an incredibly simple but beautiful love song coupled with equally great production and feeling. Two, the Missy version produced by Timbaland [...]

Salut les zamis ! Après les précèdents dimanches matins vus par Le Hans , Rissou, Marianne et Thibaut, c'est à mon tour de me plier à l'exercice !

De plus, au lieu de proposer les morceaux uniquement un par uns, je vous ai préparé des mix tout fait, qui permettent d'écouter d'une traite toute la séléction ! Pour les amateurs de iPod et companie, vous pouvez directement récupérer le [...]
Matthew Dear's most recent excursions have found him at the doorsteps of the minimal-but-funky regime of techno music. Inspired by pioneers like, Mike Inc., Thomas Brinkmann, and Ricardo Villalobos, Dear has ingested, manipulated and re-introduced his version of this always changing and innovative realm of sound creation. Recent acceptance into the legendary Plus 8 roster and ever-popular Berlin based, Perlon label has solidified Dear as a viable source for pushing the boundaries of modern dance music while at the same time remaining focused on the simple goal of making people dance.(src: discogs ) http://www.matthewdear.com [...]
