Very nice - Mingering Mike created the cover art for the upcoming, debut album for Kings Go Forth , the Milwaukee-based soul band who've gotten an incredible response for their 7"s and are finally dropping a full-length later this winter. (Thanks to Shore Fire Media)

Fat Joe feat. Young Jeezy: Slow Down (Ha Ha) From The Darkside Vol. 1 (upcoming, 2010) Funny; me and Hua were just rapping about the acapella mix for Soul II Soul's "Keep On Moving" earlier today and then I heard this new Fat Joe/Young Jeezy track that uses part of the acapella to full ...

Little Ann: Deep Shadows From Deep Shadows (Timmion, 2009) Stop whatever the f--- you are doing, right now . Play this, preferably at a loud enough volume without shattering eardrums. Soak in it. Get mind blown. Sorry for the terseness of the post but in this moment, I don't have much ...

As my dwindling finances can attest to, snapping up records with cover songs is bad habit sickness passion that I can't/won't shake. I'm sure there will be a Deep Covers 3 in the offering at some point in the near future but in the meanwhile, here's a few highlights from the last few months. ...

I finally got around to catching up on my blog reading and noticed that Super Sonido recently wrote up Mon Rivera's "Lluvia Con Nieve." This salsa classic was introduced to me by Murphy's Law and I consider it one of my Top 3 go-to, never-fail salsa cuts to get an audience moving (Willie Colon ...

Because I was in the middle of moving/unpacking/new house hell, I really missed out on being able to say something meaningful about the passing of Memphis legend Willie Mitchell. As it turns out though, Matthew Africa said everything I could/would have and more AND followed that up with an ...

Here's a quintet of stuff I've been listening to lately... Cumbias En Moog: Cumbia Del Sol From 7" (Peerless, 197/8?) Cumbia, done in moog. Awesome idea, marvelously executed here by the outfit, appropriately named, Cumbias En Moog. I'm betting there's a lot more of this out there, ...

As has become far too common, I need to apologize for the delay between posts. You'll be happy to know (at least, I hope you will) that part of why I haven't been posting as frequently is that I've been working on liner notes projects instead. I've already put to bed notes on the Joe Cuba ...

I love how, even all these years after the original magazine decided to shut down, ego trip continues to stay in the conversation of culture and always in surprising ways. Their latest has been a new documentary movie series in New York: They kick off with a film I still need to see - 80 ...

Richard's People: Yo Yo (O-Dub's Extended Intro Edit) From 7" (Tuba, 1968) When Doc Delay came through to spin the other month, he dropped this in the middle of a funk mix and trainspotter as I am, I craned my neck over to ask: "wtf is this?" It sounded like the unruly love child of a ...

Haloscan shut down and shifted all their old content to this new "JS" commenting system. I noticed that comments have since declined and I don't know if that's: 1) The new system isn't as user friendly, 2) The holidays and a slower posting schedule on my part, 3) Some other factor. Feedback is ...

Shining A 'Light' On Chicago's South Side Soul : NPR This review of Numero Group's astounding Light On the Southside release (#33.3!) should have come out a few weeks back but better late than never. Same adage applies to those of you who haven't bought the book/compilation yet. The NPR ...

Donnie and Joe Emerson: Good Time Give Me the Chance Baby From Dreamin' Wild (Enterprise and Co, 1979) This is one of those LPs that helps one understand why people bother to even look for records to begin with. The cover screams bargain bin. Actually, it screams "so bad it's good" that ...

A week ago today, a friend came over, armed with power tools, to help me assemble the record shelves at my new spot. By "help me" I mean "did most of the power work while I stood around and glued vertical supports". That's not out of laziness on my part; it's more that I've never had ...
