Listening to the Disco to Go by The Brides of Funkenstein, on the uncut version, the song starts out with this tremendously interesting horn lick. Totally different from the rest of the song - it almost sounds unrelated to the song, but it’s quite, quite funky. Later, I’m listening to Oops Upside Your [...]

Continuing with finds from London record shopping, you get not one, but two covers of the same White Stripes song. The tune in question is “Seven Nation Army,” the lead track off the White Stripes’ 2002 album Elephant and the Stripes’ biggest hit. It’s been covered a number of times, both recorded and [...]

It goes without saying that if it were not for this track that provided the backdrop for many trips down memory lane, Charlie Wilson would not have been able to stage his late '90's comeback. "Outstanding" is one of those...

Friend and Oakland Fader DJ Platurn sent me this great 45 minute mix. I wouldn't recommend blaring at work as a lot of the tracks have that NSFW tag. The set is superbly mixed with clips from Bob Saget , Jack Black, Jay and Silent Bob with music from The Gap Band, The Beatnuts , Amy Winehouse , Black Sheep and others. Its the Debauchery Mix and it certainly lives up to the title. It might have one...

While it seems that having T-Pain on your track is enough to drive a song to the top these days, apparently that axiom doesn't quite apply to 55-year-old Charlie Wilson, formerly of the Gap Band. America, you've let 2 Pistols have a moment in the sun --it's time to give some love to Uncle Charlie. (Wait, that doesn't sound exactly like I had intended.) No. 80 on the R&B charts? The 83rd-most-played...
