I don't know if the correct term is "blessed," "graced," or "honored," but I felt all of the above when guest DJ Wyndham's funky mix landed in my inbox this month. I can think of no more fitting of a mix in light of Don Cornelius' recent passing. I know you all got soul, so be sure to enjoy these Super Low Prices. February 2012 Mix - "Super Low Prices" guest mix by DJ Wyndham 01 Paul Nero - This Is Soul (1970) [...]
Do you know any producers out there who can take a James Brown tune, cut it up, past it back together, and still be as funky (funkier?) as Mr Dynamite himself? If you ask me , Nottz can put his hand up if this question ever crops up in conversation. A true beast of the boards, the Virginia native can hook up banging beats with the best, as his recent remix of 'You Got It' by regular collaborator Rah Digga shows. Taking a chunk of Bobby Byrd's 'I [...]

Speaking of the late Bobby Byrd, his signature jam, "I Know You Got Soul," with James and the JBs at his back, will never lose an ounce of its potency. Favorite part: the cymbal crash/drum break at fifteen seconds. MP3: Bobby Byrd :: I Know You Got Soul ------- + Download Bobby Byrd via eMusic's [...]
Bobby Byrd, "Back From the Dead"
I'm in a rotten mood tonight. I don't want to talk about it. Everything just kind of sucked at work today, which is ironic considering it's supposed to be such a low-stress environment. Rather than bore you with details pertaining to the mundane events I am probably overreacting to, I'll simply skip ahead to the mix tape. RULES for uninitiated noobs : With roughly 100MB of webspace, I give birth to a weekly Mix Tape to be deposited on your iPods or Zunes or Kingklangs or whatever the industry is currently pushing on you. Sometimes there [...]

Audiversity's weekly column, slightly modified, on random music in a predetermined number of words between 1 & 150. This week's randomly generated number: 48. MA: Yet another musical figurehead of the 60s passed away this month , this time the right-hand man of James Brown, Bobby Byrd . A decent soul/funk crooner himself (see his duet with James, "You've Got to Change Your Mind" ), Byrd was an integral column in the temple of Brown. RIP. PM: [...]

Bobby Byrd: I'm Not To Blame From 7", B-side of "It's I Who Love You" (King, 1970) Billy Preston: The Same Thing Again From Encouraging Words (Apple, 1970) It's always been a personal philosophy that the risk in getting paid to do the things you would otherwise do for free out of love isn't as win-win as it sounds. Turning a labor of love into work is a good way to lose that love. I don't make money off [...]
Heaven just got funkier. Bobby Byrd - Hot Pants (I'm Coming, Coming, I'm Coming) Sammy Gordon and The Hiphuggers - Making Love
Calvin Harris is bringing back disco for indierockers, hiphoppers, pillpoppers, electrorockers and punkrockers alike.

The brown western shirt with the diamond buttons that I'm currently wearing doesn't quite fit in with this post because it ain't bringing the funk. The kind of funk that makes you strut down funky Broadway. Back in a posting on December 21, 2006 I called What It Is! Funky Soul And Rare Grooves (1967-1977) the best box set of the year. That still holds true because a Doctor never goes back on his word. In these past few coffee infused days I've been doing a lot more listening to this box and it is better than [...]
Comin' atcha first thing every calendar year, it's The Pony Track, a super-fantastic short distance dedication to BadmintonStamps Collective founding member and internationally renown symbol for musical excellence Aaron "Pony" Child. No fancy links, no clever write-ups, 'cause these awesome songs don't need no splainin'. So c'mon, ride the pony!
