No music genre more perfect than Northern Soul ? Mix a fanboy's dedication to unearthing obscure record releases, the regimentation of fashion, and a nonpareil club scene, each venue with its own distinctive politics and sound. Songs that were unheralded, failures by any commercial consideration, but songs that had a certain something, that were evocative of a time and a place, songs that felt like they were yours , like they were written just for you to dance to. And because of that atmosphere, that association, for the feelings they inspired in Northern [...]
As I've mentioned before, I have a DJ residency at Shake, Rattle and Bowl , at the All Star Lanes in Holborn, with my DJing, band and general girly partner in crime, DD. I'm not one of those "I am DJ. No! I am GOD!" types, but there are few things more annoying than people who stand next to the booth, drunkenly shouting a list of requests while you're trying to cue up the next record. We do play actual vinyl records (and CDs) as opposed to running off a laptop , much to the surprise [...]

This time out we have a bunch of...well, a bunch of "songs." All that really ties them together is that they are a lot of fun to sing and they all have the word "song" in their title. So, grab yourself a pickle, a banana, and a fishing pole, then find someone to clap hands with and crank up the volume! Just make sure to watch out for the tornados… "The Clapping Song (Clap Pat Clap Slap)" by Shirley Ellis From the album The Name Game Written by Shirley Ellis [...]
There`s nothing like a dose of uplifting Northern Soul to shine up the more mundane spoils of life. A medicinal recipe today of five talcum-powder covered floor stompers .

Izza Kizza loves Family Guy, comic books, and given the Shirley Ellis sample on this slick track, playground chants like The Clapping Song. It gives it a throwback cred that begs for a singalong. Well, there's that and digging up the jump rope in the back of your closet for a double dutch throwdown . I was never very good at double dutch, so singalong it is! Izza Kizza - Walk The Dog (ft Missy Elliot) [...]
I got three songs for you that, for some reason or another, I've been mostly keeping to myself. They're not secrets, but they don't always fit into the radio show format (what? format?), so here they are for you. Izza Kizza released his mixtape, Kizzaland , at the end of July 1 and this was one of the most promising tunes from it, pop-wise. Along with Missy Elliot (again, ugh), Kizza tears up the classic Hand Clapping Song on Walk the Dog . [...]

Did you hear about Suge Knight getting knocked out? Him and his boys got in a scuffle outside an LA club called Shag with a guy who apparently owed Suge some money. After the altercation the guy came back to the club in his car and jumped out and hit Suge with a one shot to the jaw. Suge was knocked out for 3 minutes while people took photos on their cell phones! Apparently, dude who punched him is a barbershop owner in LA. I've heard talks of a Las Vegas style rematch, wether that means a tupac [...]

See, I love all types of music. While I am very much enjoying the early 90's stuff that is a good percentage of the tapes left in the Oxfam bin, there are always lots of other good things. This last week I also picked up some other good early jazz/rocknroll stuff and a great tape from Ivo Papasov Tina Turner - I Can't Belive What You Say 2. Shirley Ellis - The Nitty Gritty 3. The Olympics -
So I got to post what I find in the bin, right? I was sensitive that maybe people were thinking I was on some new rave 90's come back bandwagon. So maybe I am, but I still posted this cassette because the absolute biggest without question bold caps you can't debate theme of now (and maybe the last 10 years) is IRONY! Feel free to contradict me, but I have an argument for everyone. It's all irony now. Along with some surrealism. The very bad but amusing [...]
