![[MILESTONE] The Burning Ear's 1000th post! A Celebration Mix!](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3526263_lg.jpg)
Wow. Another mind-bending milestone in the TBE saga. 1000 is a big number but in the grand scheme of things it will only be the tip of the iceberg. Running this site for the past 28 months has been an honor and privilege and we all look forward to dropping more sweet jams for a long time to come. For now lets celebrate with a little mixtape I put together below. There is a theme in there somewhere... There are some potential changes to the site underway but until I get a breather from work I won't be [...]

(All week we're counting down the top albums of 2010. For previous entries on the list, click here or simply scroll down. We hope you enjoy the music.) 20. The Budos Band - The Budos Band III These Staten Island revivalists fuse Afro-beat with the sounds of instrumental-rock godfathers The Ventures and The Meters, and Enrico Morricone's Spaghetti Western scores. Their throwback sound is a harder, louder, and darker [...]
No matter how big a music nerd one believes oneself to be, it's hard to comprehend the amount of music one can pass over, ignore, or flat-out miss in one year. No reasonable human being can be expected to wade through the sea of new record releases unleashed over the course of twelve long months. Wouldn't it be nice if, at the end of the year, some friendly publication compiled all of the year's best music into some sort of list and made said list available to the public? Full disclosure: we did not come up with the [...]
Truly a unforgettable night. Two of my favorite groups at the moment "Kings Go Forth + Myron & E. Vintage soul sounds with modern twist were about to set the night on fire! San Francisco was ready and welcomed them in with open arms. Starting the night off is my good friend & San Francisco's favorite MOD "The Selector DJ Kirk". As always Kirk brought the Sweet Soul Sounds of the late 60s through the Mid 70s. Heavy weight records on the dance floor. While grooveing I took a second to look around, you could really feel [...]
Click image to download full album Sounds like: Sharon Jones & The Dap Kings, Lee Fields & The Expressions, JC Brooks & The Uptown Sound "Kings Go Forth - One Day" What's so good? We all love discovering new music, but too many "music junkies" fail to take the time to appreciate music's past. Soul/R&B music is defined by some of the most talented artists of our time: James Brown, Otis Redding, Ray Charles, and Al Green. It [...]
This is article was posted by SF Bay Guardian to hype the Highly anticipated "Kings Go Forth Show" along side "Myron & E" + our Sweater Funk Brother "The Selector DJ Kirk" in San Francisco Tonight. ARTICLE: MUSIC If you type "Myron and E" into the search engine on YouTube.com, you'll likely find a simple video clip of a record player with one of the duo's 7-inch singles on the turntable. Play the video clip, and the turntable's needle will descend on the vinyl. And then some of the most wonderfully sweet [...]

![Austin City Limits Festival: October 8-10, 2010 [Pete's Recap]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2888618_lg.jpg)
Why don't my family and I live in Austin, Texas? Sitting here back home in Arizona just off the plane, I ponder that question. Austin: a city that live and breathes music. A city teeming with life and heart and soul and character. Just so different than Phoenix and its outskirts, where I've lived for the last 18 years. Yeah, I'll settle back into the rut and routine of everyday life, the job that supports my family (thank God for it), and hit some shows around town. But there's always Austin - like a soul magnet to my music loving [...]
Just got the word "Kings Go Forth" are coming to San Francisco November 19th. Thats not even the best part... Our Fellow Sweater Funk Brother "The Selecter DJ Kirk" will be the guest DJ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This party is so official.... KINGS GO FORTH - ONE DAY 2010
Filed under: The Hit List The current retro movement in the best songs of 2010 is a win-win: Oldsters who had declared music dead can now listen to new songs, making them look less uncool to their kids. Meanwhile, young folks can use new artists to discover songs from the past, which means they might finally learn who Al Green is. But even the [...]
Sharon Jones @ Outside Lands, photo by Natalie Kardos I have no never-ending mental catalog of soul but I know my stuff-my collection includes all of Stax's and Motown's singles from 1959-1968 among other stuff. It makes me happy when I hear a new artist doing soul right , like Mayer Hawthorne , Raphael Saadiq or Candie Payne . In the last few months, I've heard two albums that I really think have done soul and soul-funk right-it's soul that's authentic but still [...]
The Outsiders Are Back is an authentic and enjoyable trip back to the 70's Soul era. Kings Go Forth - Music - Arts - 1960s - Soul
The Frontier Capitolist has not always been a Capitolist. Once upon a year ago, he was a student in one of the most American cities imaginable: Milwaukee, WI. This south-eastern Wisconsin metropolis is a paradise for those inspired by beer, cheese, festivals , Germans, cheap housing , and blue-collars. Milwaukeeans take great pride in their city and way of life, and over the years have turned out some great American music, including: Violent Femmes , The Promise Ring , Pelé , Jeanna Salzer Trio , Jaill , Collections of Colonies [...]
I stay backlogged in my listening, so pardon my late pass on Kings Go Forth's The Outsiders Are Back . When I finally got around to listening, I immediately hit LC off with a hundred apologies for not having taken heed to her earlier recommendation . Drenched in soul, the album is a free-flowing listen that sounds as if it escaped from the '60s and '70s of Motown. Pulsating and full of sound, "High On Your Love" is one of the definite standouts with lead singer Black Wolf leading [...]
