Buy This Record NOW!!!!

Seriously, you all need this. One of the best records to come out this summer. If you've been at my house at all this summer I've probably made you listen to black skinned blue eyed boys which is a monster song. But now there's a whole monster record. Anyway The band is called Map Of Africa. It's real sick, and I'll leave you with one song, and if you like it you can either get the rest on iTunes, or turntable lab, and probably other places too.

In other news I will be working on a remix for this band. You might have heard of them. They're called One Small Step for Landmines They're pretty awesome. Anyway enjoy the rest of your Thursday people. I might be back later with some sort of thrift store finds maybe.....

Map of Africa-Here come the heads This one's a little relaxed, but don't let it fool you. BUY THIS RECORD.

who shows up to their gigs with a serato box, a laptop, and no control records? That's right I do. See you all next Tuesday. Oh when I wake up I'll post up some songs for you people.

Funky Fridays 7/20/07

So I decided that waht this blog needs, is some sort of regularly occurring events. This will be the first installment of Funky Fridays. which is where I'll find some funky ass record, and rip it to mp3 for you people out there in internet land who like to party. I'm also thinking of instating a thrift-store Thursday which will be where I'll go to a thrift store/used record store, and find something awesome to rip for you. We'll see how it goes, or if anyone has a record they'd like to share with people feel free to hit me up.

Without further ado however, we move on to the first of the Funky Fridays. This song is called Funky Nassau, by The Beginning of the End. It's off of the Funky Nassau LP, which has both parts I & II I'm just giving you part I though. This is a great song, actually the whole record's good, but speaking of this song; the first time I heard it was in Blues Brothers 2000 when they play a cover of it. That's beyond the point however. The point is that this is funky and I hope you like it.

For you funk o philes who might like a certain part I'll post who played what instruments, in case you wanna do some research and fine more records by these guys.so:
Raphael "Ray" Munnings - organ & vocals
Liroy "Roy" Munnings - guitar & vocals
Franks "Bud" Munnings - drums, conga & vocals
Fred Henfield - Bass
Horns:
Neville Sampson - trumpet
Ralph Munnings - tenor Sax
Kenneth Lane - tenor sax

The Beginning of the End - Funky Nassau(320)

P.S. This is only up until I post the next Funky Friday, so if you like the track get it now.

Florida Stand the Fuck UP!!!

So I don't know what's going on, but for some reason a bunch of awesome shit is happening all at once in Tallahassee/North Florida/Shithole city, USA whatever you want to call it. We've had this crazy music scene spring up out of basically nothing. Rather the ashes of what was awesome about 10 or so years ago.

None of that matters however. What does matter is that I have a bunch of music for you and me to be excited about. And not just dance music either. Although some dance music I heard is what made me get on and post this. So I get a myspace message from this dude, turns out he makes music, I check his shit, and my head explodes cause I'm not expecting this kind of fun music from Tallahassee. Anyway his name is Jonny Warren he's made some cool tracks, and you should check out his myspace. I'll put something up for download when I get a hold of it/if he's cool with it. That was the first thing, and then I started to think about other things in this town I'm excited about that people might not be aware of. so here we go.

One Small Step For Landmines These guys just got back from a short tour. They also have a sweet record coming out from what I've heard. Do not sleep, they write awesome songs, and put on a great live show.

Love is Everything This band is pretty cool. I'm filling in on bass for them at the moment. Look for full band recordings Wednesday night/Thursday morning and after.

There's more, there's always more, but if I post it all at once you won't have a reason to come back now would you? It's 5:30 in the morning, I don't have the strength to post any mp3's right now. Don't forget to look one post down and holler at that mixtape. People are talking apparently.

Just in case you forgot, tonight the party is going down at Tantra Lounge on N. Monroe. Bring smiles, and your dancing shoes. I promise I'll try my hardest to make it fun.

new mixxxxx

So I did it! I got off of my lazy ass, set my shit up and made a mix. This is another one of those one take, no edits, having fun kind of mixes. But I think it's way way way cleaner than the last one, and maybe a little more creative, now that I know how to use the EQ's and shit. Anyway I guess I need a some sort of picture to make this official, so just click the picture to hear Heat Lightning

ok so

I know I said I'd put up that 2 live crew track but I've been really busy doing stuff, like chasing skirts. Anyway I'm going to wake up tomorrow and play records until I come out with a good mixtape. So in the mean time watch this video.

Don't play like that wasn't the best thing you've ever seen in your fucking life.

2 live crew

I got this new(new to me) 2 live crew record, it's called 2 live party, and it fucking slays, I might have to rip it off the vinyl when I have some free time. Like I don't have any right now. But seriously, look for it by Monday. I've been really lazy lately, I need to get on that whole editing tracks/remix game. The Tuesday night parties are going well though Does anyone have pictures from last week? If so please please please send them my way. I'll holler at deez netz later.

Booty Beats

First things first. Last night was INTENSE, a huge thank you to everyone that did any of the following: partied, showed up, danced, got too wasted to drive home and got rides, and just enjoyed yourselves. You all made it completely worth being in a corner for 4 hours. To everyone I met who's names I'm not gonna remember, thanks for the support, and maybe next time I meet you I won't have headphones on and I'll try and remember your names. Anyone with pictures please send them my way, that would be real awesome.

Anyway, what's really important is that DJ Funk and Yo Majesty are playing in Orlando tomorrow. It is also my birthday, but that's second to the amount of bass that's gonna be coming out of the system ad Firestone If you're in Tallahassee like me, you need to go. Carpool anyone?

This is what booty music should be

Yo Majesty-Kryptonite pussy(Direct link) stolen from Stereogum
couldn't find any DJ Funk so holler at his myspace

You don't need scool to get educated

my boy Raid played vitalic at Tantra tonight. That made my night, first of all he played it after Bob Sinclair, which completely made up for playing Bob Sinclair in the first place, second of all when the squelchy bass came in it rocked my face. Here's to hoping tomorrow ,can be as much fun as I had in those 5 minutes tonight. Hopefully I'll see you people.
