While we´re waiting in nervous anticipation for the World Cup final, let´s play some more music why don´t we. The iPod shuffle picked six winners once again this Wild Weekend , touching base in Christchurch, Russia by way of Kingston, and Washington DC amongst others. Drop that bomb. Guided By Voices always had a knack for intriguing song- and album titles of course, but you´ll probably agree that King Shit And The Golden Boys can hardly be bettered. And the music that slab of wax contains isn´t half bad [...]
The awesome 930 Club here in DC turned 30 on Monday and to celebrate, it had a big ol' birthday party with a bunch of bands who played for free. It was a great celebration of all of the acts that helped put the 930 on the map as a club, as well as a great peek into the long string of bands that that came out of DC, many of whom owe their start in music because of the 930 Club. This history of the club is a great story and one that the Washington [...]

Recently my father was complaining about the fact that house and electro aren't real music because the musicians don't play their own instruments. What he doesn't realize is that today's house music is yesterday's disco. Today's mixdown is a throwback to a time where synthesizers didn't dominate music, when disco was king, and house was on the horizon. The tracklist is impeccable. Every one of these songs makes me move in my seat and want to move my feet. The culprit behind the mix is Toronto DJ SplatterMonkey who has been spinning around Toronto for a while now. [...]
Trouble Funk sometime recently with an engineer. Trouble funk again so I won't bother you with the same old same old. I'll just tell you why I've posted this; because it's influential in Hop Hop. The Beasties sampled this on 'Car Thief' and DJ Skribble used the introduction on 'Everybody Come On' which Stanton Warriors mashed with Mr. Reds 'Can U Feel It' to create the radio friendly breaktastic 'Everybody Come On (Can U Feel It'. Trouble Funk - Drop the Bomb Beastie Boys [...]

Trouble Funk - E Flat Boogie Trouble Funk were the foremost proponents of go-go , a scene that is generally acknowledged to have been started by Chuck Brown and the Soul Searchers; their Ashley's Roachclip was posted by our P Rice many moons ago. Its home is Washington DC, a city brought to life in the novels of George Pelecanos who I heartily recommend to anyone who likes a good read. Buy it at Tuff City :: [...]

Video game inspired mp3s after the jump. A few years ago I picked up an Atari 2600 and a bunch of games at a thrift store. I never had an Atari as a kid. I always had to go to the neighbor's house to play his Atari, which was frustrating because he could give me a sound thrashing on pretty much every game. Finally, after much begging, I did get my own videogame system, but it was, dammit, Intellivision ("intelligent television"). 16 bits be dammed, it just didn't have the [...]
No time to fool around...by the dawn's early light I packin' heat in the mp3 playa and headin' out de door to get downtown ...dammit. Yep...Gotta get up for work, and even if I shower, espresso up & throw some cologne on, I never ever feel quite metrosexual enough to sound like this... Junior Boys - In The Morning perhaps I'll just Delete... and shuffle on... forget that ever happened... I like to imagine that I got some pick up in my step [...]
(Photo by praschl ) Today we're talking go-go. Boiled down to it's essence, it's an extrapolation and extension of the funk jams of the 70's, and none were better at it than Trouble Funk . Also, for the record, great name. Trouble... funk . Troublefunk . Ace. Anyway, today's track is one of Trouble Funk's better hits, Pump Me Up, released at the height of go-go on Sugar Hill Records , then obviously famous for the proto-hip hop of Sugar Hill Gang and Grandmaster Flash .
