compilation procrastination

So on last week's show I played a couple of songs off the compilation Barnyard Soul!: Greasy Gritty Groovy Southern-Fried Soul for this little feature I've got by the name of Compilation Procrastination. The idea is to find a compilation record that I love and showcase it to the listeners, and you-know-what made it onto last week's FLFD.

There's not much detail online for this comp, but let me guarantee you that it's got a wide array of massive jams on it - imagine awesome James Brown-style funk and soul but with some more, well, primal urges attributed to the vocals! It's a great ride. There's another take on it HERE and you can find it on sale HERE - it's totally sold out anywhere else though, so hassle Deep Groove to press it again or get to digging already!

B.B. Brown - Low Down Dirty Tramp

Willie West - Fairchild

let's dance to the radio

While my girlfriend and I were cooking dinner the other week (awesome burgers and awesome potato mash with leek and onion if you were asking - gosh I'm famished thinking about it), we found ourselves flicking through the digital radio in our kitchen, which is when we came across Amazing Radio and its online counterpart, Amazing Tunes.

Basically the deal behind the radio station/website is that unsigned artists get a chance to shine with people voting for what songs they wanna hear online, and then you can listen to them right there or turn on the radio like I did and have a pleasant wee surprise when you find something you really dig. It's a neat way of doing things and without it, I wouldn't have latched onto this little tune by Cornwall funk outfit The Underbelly called "Eric FM". It's non-embeddable which is some annoying shit right there, but if you click HERE it'll send you hurling straight towards the player.

And try not to dance a little bit in your deskchair. Trust me on this one.
