Part 4 - Pure gold, and what might be described as Northern Soul's biggest ever 'find', Frank Wilson's Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) was originally released on Motown's subsidiary label Soul in 1965. Frank wanted to concentrate on producing, and Motown boss Berry Gordy would certainly have had him do that. The vocal line isn't quite as strong as you'd expect if Smokey or Marvin had cut the tune. Consequently the vast majority of the 250 demo discs were destroyed. There may be as many as five in existence, and if the unthinkable [...]
It´s a Wild Weekend once more, with a little something for everyone. The ghost in the iPod lined up some prime HipHop, rock, northern soul, country, Japrock and postpunk for you all this week. Enjoy. Let´s get things going with a track that never fails to improve my mood. A Tribe Called Quest goes on "Award Tour, with Muhammad my man, goin´ each and every place with the mic´ in their hand..." Just go with the flow. And the cheer continues with that magical San Pedro threesome the Minutemen, and [...]
Here it is. Year end review revival. The best of the best? Not really. The best songs of the year? Nah. The best songs since Mr.T & Hulk Hogan in Wrestlemania? Comeon. We're not cool advocaters around here, so chances are these songs aren't cool either. Only the ones I've particularly enjoyed and that didn't burn like toxic plastic when I put them in my mouth. Plus, we need breaks too. Actually...Yeah, these are the songs that warm the basement up. Just kidding, thats nuclear fission. Merry Christmas... Take it or leave it. Fuzzy [...]
The Four Tops will never be the poster boys for psychedelia, but the quartet's 1970 album Still Waters Run Deep belongs in the library of any fan of fuzz guitar and trippy stereo separation.

++Singer Marc Anthony has become "minority shareholder" of the Miami Dolphins . Is it really necessary to point out that he's a minority? When it's Jimmy Buffet he's a "partner." (Note: as a minority I'm allowed to make these jokes.) Gloria and Emilio lifted the seat cushions of the Sound Machine to get enough loose change to buy a stake, too. ++I had no idea that one of my favorite funnymen and Twitterers Dave Hill is [...]
While looking through the archives recently for a certain disc, I came across a self-made compilation entitled "Pure & Unadulterated Northern Soul: Volume 1". I remember that I had four volumes of this which I would use when DJing Northern Soul nights around Los Angeles. I also copied these discs for interested friends. I'm posting this compilation in its entirety here as it's as perfect a "Northern Soul's Greatest Hits!" mix as anything you are likely to find. Some of these songs are complete classics for me. I could go on [...]
The Mobius strip is my religion. The first rule is that everything can comeback unto itself in unexpected ways. The first rule is be careful what you wish for. The first rule is there is no end. The first rule is you create what is coming . The first rule is there are absolutely no absolutes. The first rule is everything is everything. The first rule is if you make a rule, then you have to live it. The first rule is don't make rules that you don't want to admit the opposite side of. The first rule [...]
